Results:  This shampoo was the beginning of the end of my love affair with SheaMoisture.  Prior to this shampoo, I had been able to detangle my hair with all of SheaMoisture's shampoos.  This shampoo tangled my hair to the point that I actually returned it after the first use.

Results:  Honestly, the performance of this product was awesome.  It left my coils silky smooth.  I wasn't crazy about the strong scent.  So perfumey.  Soooo strong.  I also wasn't crazy about the abundance of unnatural ingredients.  What became my real issue was learning that Vegetable Protein PG Propyl Silanetriol is actually a silicone and I don't use silicones.  I will not repurchase this product.

SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair Nourishing Hair Masque
Ingredients:  Deionized Water, Butyrosperum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Vegetable Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Cetearyl Alocohol (Coconut Oil), Castor (Ricinus Communis) Seed Oil, Sentrimonium Chloride, Oleth-10, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B-5), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Tiare (Gardenia Tahitensis) Flower, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Panthenol, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, Behentrimonium Chloride, Argania Spinosa Kernal Oil, Glyceryl Caprylate, Marinda Citrifolia (Noni) Extract, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Pythic Acid

Results: Good performance, but not as good as the rinse-out conditioner.  I applied a coating of masque to my hair, sprayed with water and spritzed on some of the matching oil, and finger de-tangled. Then I covered my hair and left it in overnight. After rinsing, my hair was very smooth and my coils were nicely clumped.

Unfortunately, the frizz-free effect didn't last through my styling session.   I thought about trying the masque as a styler, but the scent was so strong, I didn't think I could bear walking about smelling that all day.

SheaMoisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi Smooth & Repair High Shine Glosser
Ingredients:  Carthamus, Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Tiare (Gardenia Tahitensis) Flower, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Panthenol, Morinda Citrofilia (Noni) Extract, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)

Results:  I deep conditioned my hair using the noni & monoi masque. I used this oil to aid in finger de-tangling. Worked like a charm! The scent is very tropical and exotic AND STRONG.  I was so glad when I finished the container.  Whenever I used one of the products from the Tahitian Noni & Monoi line, my bathroom would hold the scent for days.
