Hey Curlies,
A few days go I used this product as a a pre-shampoo treatment.As you all know, I recently did a giveaway, in which I actually gave away a jar of Shea Moisture’s Purification Mask. At the time of the giveaway, I had not tested the product out myself, but now the review is here.

My thoughts:
I really like the smell. For the last couple of days I’ve been trying to find a smell to relate to it, but I can’t. It sort of has a lemon, mint smell. I will say that as soon as you open up this product, the smell will hit you. One thing that I was surprised with was the texture. For some reason I expected it to be thicker, similar to the smoothie and deep treatment masque, but it was the exact opposite. The texture was really thin and water-like almost.
I wet my hair and then applied the product to my scalp and hair, then let it sit with a plastic cap for about an hour. Soon after I rinsed I found my hair to be very clean. I normally do not experience a flaky scalp, but because of the cold weather, my scalp was very dry with buildup. Everything of that such was gone and I was left with clean,soft hair.
Overall I give this product a 5 out of 5. It got the job done. My hair was clean, soft and moisturized. If you have problems with you scalp, such as it being too dry or flaky, this product may be for you. Especially during the winter months.

While searching google I found your blog and I must say I agree with your review. I applied this product to my dampened hair and massaged throughout my scalp, let sit for 30-40 minutes (without a cap), rinsed and detangled with my denman and man o man what softness my hair achieved. Prior to using, my scalp felt tight & itchy which happens every year about this time. I did not wash my hair prior to application (my five day twist out consisted of the SM Curl Enhancing Smoothie and EVOO) nor did I shampoo my hair afterwards. I like to retain as much moisture that I can get! Detangling was easy, very nice slip! I plan to purchase again. Thanks for your review.

I love this product…my daughter was having some scalp issues and I tried this masque no more issues. Her hair is soft and clean. I think it smells like rotten bananas but in a good way lol
