I use the shea moisture shampoo 2 x a week. I'm an african american male with short hair. Do I even need to use the shea moisture conditioner as well?

I would definitely use conditioner .. But because shampoo strips your hair you can lessen the use of it .. Have you tried just using conditioner?

I use the shampoo for cleansing my very thick shoulder length hair and while it moisturizes, I find the conditioner helps with detangling and leaves it more manageable. Hope that's helpful.

I think they work well together. It is a light conditioner and leaves the hair shiny and softer.

I think this product is the best. I am African American, and I have very thick/long/coarse hair. I use after I wash my hair (put a plastic cap on) and sit under the hairdryer. I leave it on overnight. Works great!

If you are african American I would not recommend the shampoo at all.. Seriously it's so strong. It made my hair shed so much... I never use the shampoo anymore only the conditioner. However I used it for 4 months and my hair grew 4 inches! So it works :)

I use the shampoo and conditioner about once a week. I shampoo with other brands the other days.

You might not be using enough product. You should use enough to have it thoroughly worked through your hair down to the roots, let it sit for a few minutes after massaging it in really well, then rinse thoroughly. Short hair should use around 3-4 pumps, then of course more for longer. My hair is halfway down my back and I use about 6-7 pumps.

Yes it is. It's from their original label but it is Shea Moisture, I confirmed it before I purchased it. The conditioner is thick and moisturizes and softens the hair. I hope this helps.

I definitely liked the one condition because of the way it deranged and conditions. My hair didn't take to the three step routine with this product and the defining gel made my hair really knotted. I started using Shea Moisture, Mixed Chicks, and Renpure Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. They're all sulfate and paraben free and they work really well with African American hair. I don't want to discourage you from this line though. I would say to find out your curl pattern and then try it for yourself. That's the only true way you'll know. Good luck!

Hi, Zirona...I usually combine it with shea butter and use it as a deep conditioner before or after I shampoo. If I use it as a deep conditioner, I do rinse it out like a conditioner. However, I do leave it in sometimes if I am doing on two-strand twist on my natural hair. I hope this helps.

I have seborrheic dermatitis and I've used both Shea Moisture's product and this. This works about the same and is much, much cheaper.

My hair is fine/thin and it feels thicker and fuller since I've been using the shampoo + conditioner. The conditioner goes a long way, so if your hair is shorter I would definitely use a smaller amount so that it doesn't over-condition and make your hair seem oily! :)

It's for both. If some ppl bought it and only got one, they should raise hell since the heading calls for both. Even the picture shows conditioner and shampoo. I got both with no problems. Hope this helps.

I got it last year. It doesn't make a difference. I'm a native women woth thick hair. Shampoo & Conditioner just shines the hair, the serum makes it greasy.

Yes, I do. I just spritz it on, and then use the blow dryer on medium to refresh the style. I have short hair, and don't use heavy hairspray, so for one or two days that works. I usually wash every 3 days unless I do outdoor work, and then I wash as soon as I come in to control allergies. I don't use as much as I do on days when I wash.

I am caucasian, I use just a few drops on my scalp and about a dime size amount on my ends. My hair is shoulder length and thick and curly. I would say experiment with it, I have really dry hair so I use a bit more depending on how dry my ends are. It is mostly coconut oil so it isn't a heavy oil at all. :)

Hello!! I use it everyday, i have around one month and i still got for a couple of weeks more... i have short hair, and i use it moderately in every shower, remember to let the conditioner for around 3 or 4 minutes.. you'll feel the freshness... and the tonic after my hair is more or less dry... But yes i always use them all together...

That sounds like a question for their product specialists... but in general, I don't think a shampoo can make your scalp more oily. The oil comes from the glands. However, as Shea Moisture products are for those with dry, frizzy or damaged hair, they probably aren't what you need. At least not on a daily basis.

I have short hair most of the time and when my hair is short I don't need conditioner. When my hair is about 3' or longer I need conditioner but only because it gets pulled by the brush. The shampoo makes my hair feel smooth, healthy and stronger.
