I ❤️ Shea Moisture!! I use it with the Curl Enhancing Smoothie and the Curl & Style Milk. I always use the Curling Gel Soufflé paired with those products and my hair is never sticky. I no longer use EcoStyler gel. I like this better because I figured out how to use it.
its good for protective styles...and you don't have to use gel with it...and you're right it definitely keeps that moisture in. I try and keep my hands out my hair too when I have it in.
I bought this today at Target and it wasn't that slimy consistency. It's like the old formula. So weird. Oh well. I tested it on a small section of hair. I did a flat twist and after unraveling after just 10 mins it was so curly and defined! Loving it so far!
Thanks for mentioning the expiration date. I currently have 6 jars of this product on hand (thanks to sales). I will check all of my jars! This is a holy grail staple for me. I only do wash and go's (strict curly girl method). And this product, plus a little botanical conditioner gives me exactly what I want. Yes, my hair is sticky on the first day, but I don't care. It looks just the way I want it to look and it remains super moisturized. No single strand knots! No breakage!
This is great to here beccause I'm moving down to Florida in a month or two and humidity down there is no joke. Finally decided to do the big chop today. Instead of taking down my locs. It is too much work my hands literally hurt.
Funny that you should do another review of this product as I just revisited it myself. I had to put away mine this winter as it was making my hair very dry. However, the last two days have been in the 50's here so I decided to give it a try. So far, so good. I am looking forward to spring and summer so that I can start using it again. I love the shine, softness, and volume it gives.
I love the gel souffle. My hair sucks down everything so when I use it for my flat twisted updos or bantu knots, after about 2 days any stickiness has been absorbed and all is left is softness and sheen. I use it on top of the Curl & Style milk or the Curl Enhancing Smoothie. It gives me the perfect hold. When I use this up I'm going to DIY some flaxseed gel w/ agave nectar to see if I can get a similar effect.
I have not tried the new formula and didn't know it existed..lol Thanks! But what's funny is have used this product on my hair in the winter and it was SUPER sticky...loved the definition but HATED the feel (I'm like a 4a,b,c mix) . Last night I used it on my little sister (who is natural) and it was completely different!! My sister as a mainly 4c hair texture and her hair is VERY thick and naturally frizzy. I used my SM Curl enhancing smoothie and the soufflé mix on her hair and it tamed the beast, with ease! :) Her hair was super moisturized and the frizz was minimal....it was still a little sticky but not as bad as when I used it on my own hair. Definitely going to get and try the new formula :)
Awesome! I'm glad it worked well for her! Yeah the Curling Gel souffle has been out for a minute but I was trying to finish up the old one lol. The jar lasts forever! I'm shocked I prefer it on dry hair.. I definitely didn't think I would :D
The one thing I noticed with Shea Moisture products is that it works better in the winter/fall months. During spring and Summer when there is more humidity I have to use something that doesn't contain a lot of glycerin. But I agree with you its a good product but you just have to play around with it to get the right combo.
I use this product on my natural hair. Everything she said is really true. I love Shea Moisture CURLING GEL SOUFFLÉ and I would recommend it to anybody.
Enjoyed watching just wanted to see if you had some comments on the product because it is trial and error and I just figured out how to use it...for summer without the sticky feeling. I mix it with Soft Sheen Care Free Curl Gold Activator until I feel that sticky feeling gone in a mixing bowl. It will leave a thin glob on your hands and fingers and it will be easier to manage if you just wash your hands, but your hair will be moist and your curls will pop. After its in for about an hour I put in my gel (wetline extreme) in...I may have to we wet during this process because I do one step a time. and I let it dry somewhat in between. so to make sure I don't have to much product in my hair. The souffle and that activator mixes well together...no residue....and that is what i am aiming for. I fix it on Sunday and it is set for the week. Just re-moist with the activator if needed. You may want to give this a try if you want moisture, and not that crush on the first day. I used the V05 conditioner (thinly) as my leave in because it does not leave a white residue either, but I let it air dry as well somewhat and wet to apply my combo (souffle & activator). No residue. Hope this helps, if your interested.
I am totally in love with this line from shea moisture. Def just stocked up whe. Target had the buy one get one 50% off. I completely agree with you when you say you can over do it with this but nice your figure it out its wonderful. I didn't like it too much when I big chopped in Aug 13. I prefered an eco styler gel for my wash and go's. But as my hair got longer it worked better.
should I get the souffle or the smoothie ? I have low porosity hair and my younger sister suggested I tried this if I can find it where I live or get it ordered online without being broke lol $44 shipping I don't think so...anyhow which one should I try
This was EXTREMELY helpful! I'm just a month out from the big chop after transitioning for 2 years and I threw this in my wash n go to freshen it up mid week. Unfortunately, I threw it in with another product. Since I didn't isolate them, I couldn't tell which one left me feeling sticky yet incredibly hydrating. This product was it. I'm trying to make mental notes of what works, how it works and what I like and don't like so as I get my routine down, I can make better and wiser choices and stop buying so many damn products. LOL. Your video really helped me articulate what I experienced with this product.
I absolutely hand down love this product!!!!!!! Definite staple!!!! Super moisturizing to my dry hair. Not at ultra hold but my twist always are juicy n the twistout looks very moisturized n defined. A little goes a long way. Tames/seals frizzy ends and I use it with sm smoothie n coconut oil. N I did not try the new formula as yet.
Thanks for the update. Think will try on dry hair to see if it works better then on my wet hair. Only issue I have with this product was the last time I used it a bee would not leave me alone seriously, lol.
I got this product about a month ago and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it, lol. I'm happy I watched this video though because I now have an idea of how I will go about using it! Thanks! Oh, and congrats on the natural hair RUclips vloggers thing!
This product works best when used sparingly . I often use it in the shower as a sealant, then pass my head under the shower to distribute and get rid of excess product. It works great that way.
Hey Kriss, thanks for your review! This is the one product that seals my daughters' hair out of everything that I have tried and that is one of the main reasons why I use it and love it!!!! This product also adds a ton of shine which I totally love! Now I don't think that they have changed the product and I could be wrong but I have found that the batches vary from one container to another. I've had batches that were really watery and others that were a lot thicker. I actually prefer the thicker batches instead. Btw your hair looks great!
Hey Deb! Yeah I wish they didn't change the texture but at least it works very close to the previous one lol. I dunno why companies insist on changing things when they are fine to begin with smh! I'm glad the looser one still works for me :) Thanks!!!
NaturalMe4C I finally used the SM curling gel shuffle and I like it. I found what works for me is putting a dollop in my KimmayTube leave in mix to make sure I dont use too much. It's very moisturizing. It does leave my hair slightly sticky on day one but that fades. Thanks for your review!
Awe I had the opposite happen to me with this I love it. It gave me the best twist out and it wasn't crunchy at all but maybe because its summer time right now in Florida lol. I did get that sticky feeling with it, but my hair was soft and I paired it with shea butter cream that I use and my hair did look a lot fuller with it. I hate Eco gel and Cantu because they both leave residue on my hair this product doesn't.
NaturalMe4C Hi, if you try it remember not to use too much, okay. Make a small sample batch to try out because it's soooo easy to use too much. Love it!!
Awe man, I liked the old formula, I didn't even know they changed it and just went out and got a spare:( I hope my hair likes the new formula too. I don't have an expiration date on the new one though but when I turn the jar over I can see how runny it is from the bottom...
Because the product is sticky, does it make your hair sticky and/or feel disgusting like when you don't wanna touch your hair if you can't wash your hands afterwards?
I used way too much. I wish I had seen this video before I used it. Anyway, my hair looks good and it's has lots of shine. Sticky though. Well, I know better next time.
This product has me soooo confused! I bought a jar last year (2013) and it was runny, sticky and oily (like flax seed gel). I recently bought a new jar, maybe 3 weeks ago and it's thick like most hair gels. The second jar feels so much better than the previous jar (not sticky or oily). So what I'm trying to figure out is if they did change the formula or if the batches vary??? I think the second because you said your new jar was like my old jar and your old jar was like my new jar.... Ehhh I'm confused! lol but thanks so much for the review!!
Great video. I also like this product. You are very swift while showing the products in this video. Thanks for sharing. I subscribe to you and enjoy your info.
I've tried this once in my attempt to do a WNG.. My hair was a gooey sticky greasy mess then it dried into a soft but hard mess if that makes sense... At the suggestion of another you tuber I'm going to try putting it in the fridge so it emulsified some then premixing with the smoothie and see how it works then
Great video but I'm still not sure about this product. I love the Shea Moisture brand. I use the yellow label and the brown label (the one with baobab). When it come to my twist outs I typically don't use products that have gel in it. I know you said it has a lot of humectants in it but...I just don't know 😕
Charita M Hey! I still use this :) If I use it with very moisturizing products though, it makes my twist out very fluff like in this vid: ruclips.net/video/6TVZ7mF7iOs/видео.html
So on dry hair, this goes on hair that has been moisturized already, then styler? And on Wet hair, it goes on naked hair or is it leave-in - this - styler?
I have tried and tried under so many situations. I just couldn't get it to work. This just doesn't work for me but I'm not sure whether I used the old it new formula. Tks for the video.
Nope, that's how my current batch is I'm 2016 lol. At this point , I prefer the thicker texture over the looser one that I reviewed here because I can control the amount I use better.
Yea I kind of figured u didn't wear braids.I jus wanted to know if your ends tangled up really bad whenever u washed ur hair.And I tried the Camille Rose Algae Deep Conditioning and my hair was soft but it did nuthing for my ends :-/.And it costed $20 bucks :-/ :-/ :-/..I had to put three of those faces lol
You can use it on your edges but it's a light hold :) it may slick them down a bit if you apply it to wet hair and tie a scarf on. But it does react to humidity so it may puff up
Chiara Gray I actually like to pair this product with creamy products like the Curl enhancing smoothie and even products from Oyin Handmade...whipped pudding and burnt sugar pomade etc. I use this product to enhance other products and provide that extra oomph when I want it lol
I don't think it will work for a sleek ponytail at all because I may have a similar texture as yours and it was very sticky. I would prefer to use it as is though and not with the cream because it became too much, but I may have used to much of everything to begin with.
Sai DreamChaser This gel is very sticky and fully of humectants so I'm not sure if it would hold a style like that well. :) No harm in trying it out though! :D
Sure! :D I have a video showing how I use it for wash and gos but not twistouts. I have to make one :D Here's the wash and go one: @watch?v=YiGX7_uS4Ec My True Wash & Go w/ Optional Deep Conditioning - (Cowashing Loose Hair) - NaturalMe4C The day after: @watch?v=8KzECRjAa9w Refreshing My True Wash & Go (Tutorial w/ pics) - NaturalMe4C Show less

+Asia M Ugh! I wouldn't be surprised smh! I know that the product since it's natural can vary.... but from what I've seen the thicker one with the old label was what it was before being runny. Either way I needed to do this review in fairness to the product since I wasn't able to use it as much before. :)
Has anyone noticed that the list of ingredients while the jar highlights coconut, hibiscus with agave nectar and flax seed oil. Neither flax seed nor coconut is on the list. Seems like false advertisement.
I ❤️ Shea Moisture!! I use it with the Curl Enhancing Smoothie and the Curl & Style Milk. I always use the Curling Gel Soufflé paired with those products and my hair is never sticky. I no longer use EcoStyler gel. I like this better because I figured out how to use it.

lol Yeah it's amazing how things change! :D Thins product is just one of those things that you have to play with lol
I thought it was just me! This product made my hair ultra soft but no major hold. Works best paired with another product! Great review hair twin!
Thanks!! :D
I love the gel souffle.

I love how thorough your reviews are !
Aww thanks! :D
I pair it with the curl enhancing smoothie on my wet hair and I love the results. It gives me that shine that I want.
That's great! I'm glad it works for you! :)
I love pairing this product with Shea Moisture's Curling Smoothie. It works great!!!
Awesome! :D
I used this for buns and chunky twist outs. I think it's perfect for buns especially
The one thing I noticed with Shea Moisture products is that it works better in the winter/fall months. During spring and Summer when there is more humidity I have to use something that doesn't contain a lot of glycerin. But I agree with you its a good product but you just have to play around with it to get the right combo.
Trial and error :)
Thank you for this review! Yours is the best I've seen so far. Thank you for being very specific and discussing using it in winter AND summer.
ajewel630 Aww thanks!!! :D
I JUST used this the other day for my twists. I kinda like it. It's really humid here in ATL, so we'll see how it does in spring.
Trial and error lol :D

You ALWAYS have my back with these products, how to apply, routines, and styles!!! So glad I found you :)

HEEEY!!! Please tell me what you did? What did you end up doing??
You do really great reviews. Very thorough and informative. Thanks for all the effort you put into doing this.
I really appreciate you saying that! :D Thank you soo much!!!
Thanks Kriss, i bought it recently and haven't used it yet so i am grateful for the pointers. And the heads up about the expiration date as well
No problem! :)

I'm so happy this video was helpful!
Super helpful... we have similar hair textures and it helps to see good products on a variety of hair types. Thanks a bunch!
Lois Johnson-Mead No problem Lois!! :D

Thanks for the update. Think will try on dry hair to see if it works better then on my wet hair. Only issue I have with this product was the last time I used it a bee would not leave me alone seriously, lol.
OMG!!! lol Yeah I remember being like....hmm agave nectar... sounds like it will attract bugs! smh
I got this product about a month ago and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it, lol. I'm happy I watched this video though because I now have an idea of how I will go about using it! Thanks! Oh, and congrats on the natural hair RUclips vloggers thing!
bubbles88sudss Thank you!!!! :D
Nice review Kriss. That product moisturizes for weeks!
Yeah it's awesome! :D Thanks!!!
I mix this with the Curl Enhancing Smoothie on dry hair and get mad definition! Love it...can use year round.
Awesome!
Another informative and articulately delivered review...thanks!
Thanks Nettie! :D
This product works best when used sparingly . I often use it in the shower as a sealant, then pass my head under the shower to distribute and get rid of excess product. It works great that way.

I told myself the next time the SM Curling Gel Souffle was on sale I'd give it a try. Well it was at Target today. Your review has peaked my interest.
It's a tricky product but it works well when paired with the right things :D If you try it start out with a smart amount. :D
NaturalMe4C I finally used the SM curling gel shuffle and I like it. I found what works for me is putting a dollop in my KimmayTube leave in mix to make sure I dont use too much. It's very moisturizing. It does leave my hair slightly sticky on day one but that fades. Thanks for your review!
sdholt4 That's soo awesome! I actually have it in my hair today along with the curl enhancing smoothie lol!
Awe I had the opposite happen to me with this I love it. It gave me the best twist out and it wasn't crunchy at all but maybe because its summer time right now in Florida lol. I did get that sticky feeling with it, but my hair was soft and I paired it with shea butter cream that I use and my hair did look a lot fuller with it. I hate Eco gel and Cantu because they both leave residue on my hair this product doesn't.
I am tending to mix the souffle with my gel stylers to give me the moisturized hold I want. I love it for that. xxx
Awesome! i may have to try that out! :D
NaturalMe4C Hi, if you try it remember not to use too much, okay. Make a small sample batch to try out because it's soooo easy to use too much. Love it!!
Great review! I have this sitting in my cabinet and I had no idea what to do with it. Now I have something to work with lol. Thx!
LOL Thanks! :D
Awe man, I liked the old formula, I didn't even know they changed it and just went out and got a spare:( I hope my hair likes the new formula too. I don't have an expiration date on the new one though but when I turn the jar over I can see how runny it is from the bottom...
I hope it works for you too!
This is really a great product, if you know how to use it well.
Because the product is sticky, does it make your hair sticky and/or feel disgusting like when you don't wanna touch your hair if you can't wash your hands afterwards?
Jay C If you use too much it won't feel very good at all lol.
oh your makeup looks so pretty!
Thanks! :D
Thanks for the update. Your hair looks GREAT!!!!!
Thanks!! :)
I used way too much. I wish I had seen this video before I used it. Anyway, my hair looks good and it's has lots of shine. Sticky though. Well, I know better next time.
Great thorough review, thanks for the comparison :)
Thank you!
I completely agree!! This is def. one of my staples. Awesome review!!!
Thanks!! :D I'm glad this works for you!
This product has me soooo confused! I bought a jar last year (2013) and it was runny, sticky and oily (like flax seed gel). I recently bought a new jar, maybe 3 weeks ago and it's thick like most hair gels. The second jar feels so much better than the previous jar (not sticky or oily). So what I'm trying to figure out is if they did change the formula or if the batches vary??? I think the second because you said your new jar was like my old jar and your old jar was like my new jar.... Ehhh I'm confused! lol but thanks so much for the review!!
Meant to add... I bought the first jar in February of 2013.
Very informative! I love you! You're so funny. Thanks for the video!
Thanks!!
Great video. I also like this product. You are very swift while showing the products in this video. Thanks for sharing. I subscribe to you and enjoy your info.
Thanks Sally! :) I really appreciate it!
I've tried this once in my attempt to do a WNG.. My hair was a gooey sticky greasy mess then it dried into a soft but hard mess if that makes sense... At the suggestion of another you tuber I'm going to try putting it in the fridge so it emulsified some then premixing with the smoothie and see how it works then
Hopefully that works :D
I still don't know how to use this on my hair for a style... :-( I just use a little to add some shine if I am wearing a puff.
Im gonna try using this with curlformers
Great video but I'm still not sure about this product. I love the Shea Moisture brand. I use the yellow label and the brown label (the one with baobab). When it come to my twist outs I typically don't use products that have gel in it. I know you said it has a lot of humectants in it but...I just don't know 😕
Yeah it can be tricky :/
I'll give it a try
Awesome review....as always.
Thanks! :)
Thanks for sharing this video I am thinking about purchasing this. I was wondering if you still use it and if so could you do a twist out tutorial..
Charita M Hey! I still use this :) If I use it with very moisturizing products though, it makes my twist out very fluff like in this vid:
ruclips.net/video/6TVZ7mF7iOs/видео.html
Kriss there you go again..."Extensions in a bottle" gal you described it right loooool:)
LOL!!! :)
great review is this product okay to use in the winter
brownsugar15068 I use this year round :)
brownsugar15068 I use it with other products
So on dry hair, this goes on hair that has been moisturized already, then styler? And on Wet hair, it goes on naked hair or is it leave-in - this - styler?
I use it as a styler on both wet and dry hair...so after all my moisturizing is out of the way.
I have tried and tried under so many situations. I just couldn't get it to work. This just doesn't work for me but I'm not sure whether I used the old it new formula. Tks for the video.
Too bad :/ No problem!
A lady has a video and she said refrigerate the souffle to keep the ingredients together.
Nice tip!
mines is really think and when I try to scoop it out it comes out clumpy. did I just get a bad batch?
*thick
Nope, that's how my current batch is I'm 2016 lol. At this point , I prefer the thicker texture over the looser one that I reviewed here because I can control the amount I use better.
Aaliyvh147 if it comes like that just whisk it for like 5 min and it should go back to normal
Yea I kind of figured u didn't wear braids.I jus wanted to know if your ends tangled up really bad whenever u washed ur hair.And I tried the Camille Rose Algae Deep Conditioning and my hair was soft but it did nuthing for my ends :-/.And it costed $20 bucks :-/ :-/ :-/..I had to put three of those faces lol
Aww that stinks :/ My hair doesn't tangle excessively unless I'm lazy with my wash and go breakdowns multiple times in a row lol
Thank you great info. thanks for sharing:-)
No problem! Thanks!
Do you apply this before or after your pairing products?
Can I use this on my edges? Will it hold? I live in a warm area, and I'm looking for a Natural/Organic gel.
You can use it on your edges but it's a light hold :) it may slick them down a bit if you apply it to wet hair and tie a scarf on. But it does react to humidity so it may puff up
I have some just hanging out under my cabinets because we just don't love each other : ( Left my hair sticky after trying it multiple times.
aww too bad :/
Sincerely Kimme I y
I went to Sally's yesterday and saw it on sale. My question is what other product can be used with it and use?
Chiara Gray I actually like to pair this product with creamy products like the Curl enhancing smoothie and even products from Oyin Handmade...whipped pudding and burnt sugar pomade etc. I use this product to enhance other products and provide that extra oomph when I want it lol
Thanks soo much girlie!!! I'm still learning!!!
Can this work for a sleek ponytail for 4c/4b hair? I want to stop using eco style gel because it breaks my hair off.
I don't think it will work for a sleek ponytail at all because I may have a similar texture as yours and it was very sticky. I would prefer to use it as is though and not with the cream because it became too much, but I may have used to much of everything to begin with.
Could I use that gel on my 360 waves for a hold without it making my hair feel crunchy or hard ?
Sai DreamChaser This gel is very sticky and fully of humectants so I'm not sure if it would hold a style like that well. :) No harm in trying it out though! :D
You're adorable. Thanks for the video!
i have type 4c, natural black hair, and i wish them to be curly. can this=curling gel souffle help me?
Costansia Bureta This gel and any gel will only enhance the natural hair type your have :D

Hi! ,does the product keep your hair moisturized in the winter?
Hey! Shea moisture has changed so many of their products since here that I have no idea if this one is even the same as before. 😑
NaturalMe4C oh ok,well thanks for responding, I've watched your videos a lot lol☺
No problem! Thanks!!
Nice review!
Thank you! :D
Does this product flake? If i use it on a wash n go?
Keshy Ellis I doesn't flake on me but if I use too much it may not absorb in those areas.
U can have mine! Ugh. Well, will revisit and see...
Miossoty1 lol!! :D
Great review TFS!
thanks! :D
YW:-)
+Asia M Ugh! I wouldn't be surprised smh! I know that the product since it's natural can vary.... but from what I've seen the thicker one with the old label was what it was before being runny. Either way I needed to do this review in fairness to the product since I wasn't able to use it as much before. :)
I guess to each it's own...i never liked that product...made my hair hard. I love using the curl and style milk and the smoothie.
Nice!
when using this the first time I used it alone with oil and put too much...epic fail
Nola chick lol yeah it's very oil on its own :)
Has anyone noticed that the list of ingredients while the jar highlights coconut, hibiscus with agave nectar and flax seed oil. Neither flax seed nor coconut is on the list. Seems like false advertisement.
