I've been using this for a couple years, before they changed the name. It's not supposed to provide hold. People make that mistake because of the texture. How I use this is on my wet hair, a take a small dab along with a small dab of actual gel on each section. Use this as your moisturizer, not your hold product. It has glycerin as well, which pulls moisture from the air (the main ingredient in curl activators).
that's why I said I'm glad she used the product for it's designed purpose because some people like to use products to give them curl definition, twistouts, etc. even though it wasnt designed for that purpose. It's clearly a moisturizer.
Saundra I attempted to mix it with the Curl smoothie trying to get moisture and definition but it would poor out every time. So now that I have my routine down and I’m looking for the perfect moisturizer/Leave I’m going to try it for that purpose now.
your hair is so pretty!! that product smells SOOOOO good, BUT for my hair it's greasy ANDDDD I live in Texas so I did a wash and go with this product and waited for the bus.. when I tell you 2 minutes of being outside, I attracted over 10 bees, a couple wasps & you know those BIG BLACK BUMBLE BEES?? lololollllll I had a heart attack!!!! they smell the hibiscus lolol so it's a great product on your hair... And I'm so happy you're in love with you hair.. That's beautiful to me!!! watch for bees!!!
Girl, I went HAM on this stuff last summer when I did my first wash and go. The results were off the chain, but it felt like a sticky mess! I have learned that a little goes a long way and I love it now. BTW, your hair is beyond GORGEOUS!
I have extremely thick hair and I absolutely love this product. It works best for me on first and second day hair. By the third day the curls in the back of my hair are ridiculously tight and I spend all day playing with the curls in the back of my hair pullng on them and they spring back in tight coils. By day 4 I have to wash my hair because it starts to feel too greasy. This product still gets a thumbs up by me.
Thank you for doing a video on this product. I have been using this product for 7 months now and I love it too. I just use it on first day hair with ecosystem jel while it is wet and let it dry and it maintains my moisture until I am ready to wash. I love it because I maintain the curls and don't have to comb or detangle until I am ready to co-wash. But, you must use a cap at night. I use a cap every other night. If I don't use the cap it doesn't last as long.
I have been using this gel for about 4 months- I only use it on damp hair twice a week. I love flax seed gel, so I wanted to try a gel that would have a long shelf life and had all natural ingredients. My hair is soft, shiny, and has amazing curl definition. I currently use DevaCurl's Ultra Defining Gel, and get similar or better results:) I'm going to keep both in my regimen because it is hard for me to find gels that work on my fine 4a curls:) Thank you for putting out informative, honest, videos:)!
i'm sooo glad you use the product for the purpose which is for moisture and shine/sheen. The product is a moisturizer amd sealer in one. Keep up the good work!
you are very detailed in your reviews..which is great… have you ever thought about doing a "battle of the products" reviews?? product A vs product B and the winner is????? just a suggestion..
I use to hate this product! Then for some strange reason, today I decided to use it on top of my Miss Jessie's Leave In Condish as I smoothed thru my hair in sections and now absolutely love it!
I love Shea Moisture & I've been eyeing this product for years. Well I finally broke down & purchased it. I'll be using it on an old wash n go mid week braid out or twist out. I hope it works, if not it's going right back to Walmart... LOL 😁
I've been debating to get this or not since I have a TWA right now & didn't know what to do to my hair but now that I've seen your video I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks!
In the beginning I thought the person singing was Janelle Monae. I've just got into using Shea moisture and I'm in love. There is one that I didn't really like though. I can't remember, but it is the one with Zanzibar in it.
I brought this product just to be buying it,was surprised by the look(jelly),However,this is the best curling product that I've come across in months,I used it around day 3 n I love it,shiny,bouncy defined curls.I will definitely buy a few more jars
Love your hair :) and it's grown sooo much since that first pic you posted on IG. I actually dont care for the product because of the way it makes my hair feel- sticky. I'll have to give it another chance as I always do with products I dont particularly care for at first.
I saw a couple of videos that said that it only takes a small amount of the gel soufflé to get the best results and some people use the Shea moisture curling smoothie first and then the gel soufflé.
I have the curling smoothie and the soufflé, I haven't had a chance to try the gel soufflé yet but I'll try it this week, I watched another video and she said to use very little.
I just wanna say ive been watching since you wet relaxed and your journey has been beautiful to watch I love your natural hair the best and can't wait to keep watching tour journey so can them vidz coming!
I've been looking for a replacement for Eco Styler crunchy gel. I tried this on a portion of my hair compared to Indian Hemp taffy, and I noticed the souffle stretched my hair on its own when I shingled it into my hair (no twisting), also and I have 4c hair. I was shocked. So I'm going to twist my hair with it and the smoothie combined because the smoothie gives me incredible moisture. Thank you for this vid!
i LOVE your curls!!!!!!! yea! the souffle works really great!!!!!! i love it too!!!!!!!! i use it on both first and second day hair...i just pile it in lol
shlinda1 I love your hair. I am like you I can't leave my hands out of my love this line. I just got the whole line a week ago and this is my favorite line from Shea Moisture so far. I use the gel souffle on my edges and iy does have a sticky feeling but I have been applying more to my edges for three days now. I need to do my hair journey so I can see what works and what does not work.
Defintitely does leave my hair sticky! Ha! But Then again, I also have a habit of touching my hair...I also think I used way too much of this product. So yeah, less is more with this one! I'll mix with the curl enhancer, or leave-in, or souffle. Something to dilute it a bit.
Yes I finally found my hair guidance lol, me n u have the same length of hair and I have been lost because I didn't know what to do but because of ur videos u have blessed me. Anyways just wanna say thanks n love all ur videos
My product looks alot looser and it made my hair a little sticky or tacky to the touch but it looked good. I am going to experiment with using it with other products.
When I used a little bit (quarter size for the whole head) it was fine. But I took it to a salon. All she did was a wash n go. She put waaaay too much. And to leave a wash n go in for a few days no combing??? It picked up dust, lint & tangled my hair so much I had to cut a chunk out. I never used it again. I gave it away.
I love watching your videos cuz you are hilarious!! I love it!! lol! Your reviews and demos are so helpful too! Are you from Philly? Just curious cuz I am and your accent sounds like a philly one.
I have 4c hair and it does absolutely nothing for me no curl, too sticky I mean I could use a regular gel and pay less money. I will say it smells amazing
In the beginning of the video what kind of twist out is that? With the cloth pin thingys (I really don't know what it's called) but it turned out really well
Your hair is too beautiful! Thanks for the review. I think it's important to let people know that this product needs to be used sparingly or you're head will feel like a blowpop, ha ha!
i had the same problem, i have very fine hair and i learned that just a scoop full with my pointer finger is enough for a medium section without leaving it sticky

Danielle Reed I made the mistake of trying to use it a gel and now I bought it again to try it as a moisturizer/Leave in
Saundra I attempted to mix it with the Curl smoothie trying to get moisture and definition but it would poor out every time. So now that I have my routine down and I’m looking for the perfect moisturizer/Leave I’m going to try it for that purpose now.
It's so nice to see you enjoying your natural hair so much. Doesn't it make you wonder why you were so afraid to embrace it in the past? Beautiful

yes!! I thought I was crazy!! it's so sticky!! but I think I'll try just putting a little in and see how it works!!
I have extremely thick hair and I absolutely love this product. It works best for me on first and second day hair.

I'll have this on my shelf. your right about not using on day 1 washed hair.
I use to hate this product! Then for some strange reason, today I decided to use it on top of my Miss Jessie's Leave In Condish as I smoothed thru my hair in sections and now absolutely love it!
your curls are beautiful. makes me want to continue my transition

Yeah i agree with you, I love the stuff also! I mix a moisturizer with it to take away some of the stickiness!
Love this stuff!! cocoon curled my hair with it and it lasted for a week...but it is super sticky but very moisturizing.
I've been looking for a replacement for Eco Styler crunchy gel. I tried this on a portion of my hair compared to Indian Hemp taffy, and I noticed the souffle stretched my hair on its own when I shingled it into my hair (no twisting), also and I have 4c hair.

I agree.... My hair loves the stuff.
What's that black ribbon in your hair? What method is that called? Please to a tutorial on it!
Dat some sick curls, love it. What is your hair type please?
This is my review/first Impression of the Shea Moisture Curling Gel Souffle'
Nice
What is that black lace you use to stretch your hair
When u tapped on the container that automatically told me to subscribe...lol
Love your videos!Are you sure your hair is 4b? It looks more like 4a
thanks for the review Imma try this ONE more time.lol
You remind me of whoissugar
My product looks alot looser and it made my hair a little sticky or tacky to the touch but it looked good. I am going to experiment with using it with other products.

Do you have a video showing the ribbon technique for your twists?
I bought mine and it was not jiggly or liquidy it was just a glob idk if that's it's supposed to be but it don't move like hers
I though I was the only one
Mines too. What the hell?
LaDiamond Shaw so was mine!!! Maybe it expired or something lol. That's what I thought. Or dried out
Aliyah Muhammad i was so furious i wasted my money lol
I love watching your videos cuz you are hilarious!! I love it!! lol! Your reviews and demos are so helpful too! Are you from Philly? Just curious cuz I am and your accent sounds like a philly one.
I have 4c hair and it does absolutely nothing for me no curl, too sticky I mean I could use a regular gel and pay less money. I will say it smells amazing
Your sisters music is dope!!!
You have beautiful curls! New subbie
In the beginning of the video what kind of twist out is that? With the cloth pin thingys (I really don't know what it's called) but it turned out really well
My hair is really thick like wool do you think this product will work on/with the texture of my hair????
I wonder what your hair type is? Those curls might not happen on a type 4 b/c/d :(
Love your curls
Did you cut all off your relaxed hair off?
Your hair is too beautiful! Thanks for the review. I think it's important to let people know that this product needs to be used sparingly or you're head will feel like a blowpop, ha ha!
I got the product it work very well
You have great hair texture, so u don't need gel...
girl your just so damn cool i clicked the subscribe button rite away !
Omg...your natural curls are A...Maz...Ing!!!!
I like curls and lipstick
what is on the end of your hair?
I've tried to love it, but it leaves a sticky residue in my hair. I think my hair is too fine...bummer!
i had the same problem, i have very fine hair and i learned that just a scoop full with my pointer finger is enough for a medium section without leaving it sticky
I'll try again. Thank you both!
Yeah, me too. 2 finger taps Can cover 1/4 of my whole head
What technique did you use to achieve your curls, in this video?
U use thin pieces of cloth and braid it into ur hair. It will give you a wavy curly look instead of a zigzag braided look.
What & Why did you wrap the black pieces of fabric things in between the twists??
It's the give the hair a less braided look but a curvy curly look.
I luv this product
What did you detangle with??? And it doesn't work that well on thin hair only thick
she has fine hair
Thank you
great video..that song by your sis #hot!!!!!
Does it work with short cut hair
At walmart too
I love it too!!!
What is the blk material on thr ends of your hair?
hI where can i get flaxseeds at ?
A health food store, grocery store or online
What's the song in the beginning?
I HATE THAT PRODUCT!! *Sigh* you make me wanna try again...
I love it too
lmfao to the natural hair gods
You crack me up.lol
I didn't like it that much cuz it made my hair greasy :/
Your natural hair inspires me!
