Throughout the years, I’ve tried many hair, skin and body products from the SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil collection. I wanted to share a review on these products.


Hair.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Shampoo

Honestly, I don’t think this is the best cleansing shampoo, however it does leave my hair soft and hydrated. I use this shampoo when I’m doing protein treatments on wash day since it doesn’t dry out my hair.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Conditioner

This conditioner has amazing slip, which is great for detangling, I actually use it for my pre-shampoo treatment. I love how hydrated and soft my hair feels after using this conditioner.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Rehydration Treatment Masque

This rehydation treatment masque is LIFE. Just like the shampoo, conditioner and leave in from this collection, my hair felt so moisturized and soft. I was able to detangle with no problem using this masque, my hands just glided through my hair. This is definitely one I’ll keep in rotation in my routine. You’re supposed to let it sit for 5-minutes, but it’s so moisturizing that I’ve kept it in for hours. Even after sitting under a hooded dryer.

It’s fairly thick, I was able to tilt the jar a bit without product falling out. I prefer my deep conditioning treatments to be thicker in consistency so I don’t feel like I’m using the whole jar in one wash day. And although the masque is thick, I didn’t have issues with it melting into my hair.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Leave-in Treatment

This is one of my favorite summer leave-in treatments because it’s lightweight. My hair feels soft and it’s easy to detangle. It also reduces the amount of frizz I get, which is a lot since my hair is high porosity.

 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Rehydration Hot Oil Treatment

The rehydration hot oil treatment is supposed to hydrate, condition and help hair strands retain strength and elasticity to resist breakage. It leaves hair soft and manageable. SheaMoisture provided me with two of these 1 fl oz bottles.

I don’t do hot oil treatments often. Although I probably should be. This is probably the first time I’ve done a hot oil treatment since going fully natural over two years ago. This treatment definitely helped my wash day go smoother. I didn’t find myself struggling to detangle my hair throughout wash day after letting the oil sit in my hair. SheaMoisture recommends leaving it in for 3-5 minutes, but I’ve left it in overnight and loved how my hair felt after.

 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Styling Gel

Honestly, I don’t use gels in my hair regime because some leave your hair flaky and very stiff. This gel, however, is very lightweight but also provides a good hold. I like using it during the summer because creams are typically too heavy for my hair during those months.


Skincare.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Glow Priming Moisturizer

This moisturizer says it’ll deliver an instant glow with lightweight hydration as it prepares skin for smooth makeup application. It provides long-lasting moisture, leaving skin with a fresh, dewy glow.

I’m honestly not savvy with makeup, so I can’t attest to how this moisturizer works when applying makeup. However, I can say that this priming moisturizer is great to use without applying makeup. The shimmering glow ? you get from this primer is insane. I got a little too heavy handed the first time I applied and had a caked face. The second time, I made sure to put a modest amount on my face. I’m honestly in love with this moisturizer and am really considering keeping it in my skincare routine, especially during colder months when my skin is dry.

It’s like a cream, which I love because I don’t need to use a lot to keep my face moisturized.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Face Lotion

I’m unsure why, but this lotion makes my face feel oily during the warmer months. So I really only use it during the colder months when my face is dry since it provides amazing hydration. This lotion doesn’t irritate my skin, and like the rest of the collection, it smells great.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Face Lotion

Love, love, LOVE these facial wipes, especially when traveling! It does an amazing job cleansing my skin, literally I can see the impurities on the cloth after wiping. Great for taking off makeup, these facial wipes definitely leave your skin feeling clean and hydrated.


Body.

100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Bar Soap

This is the go-to bar soap in my household, it leaves my skin clean and soft. I also love how big the bar soap is, it can last for a few weeks. Like the rest of the collection, the soap has a coconut scent that I love.


Overview of the 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Collection

  • My favorites from this collection are the treatment masque, bar soap, and styling gel.
  • The smell of this entire line smells like coconut, which I love and get many compliments on. For me, the scent is just enough to make me feel like I’m somewhere tropical.

I love the 100% coconut oil bar soap from this line, the lather is like no other its so silky and leaves your skin feeling super clean and smelling great. I used to use the olay facial moisturizer but i have been wanting to switch over to products with less crap in them. Thanks for the honest review!
