The 5 Best Shea Moisture Shampoos

• Also available at Walmart, $8

Behold: The shampoo that saved me from static hair hell. The Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo is like a miracle product for treating dried-out hair — and all the frizz and static that goes along with it. This formula is loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, and nourishers (including baobab oil and manuka honey), which work to restore moisture and softness to your hair. Expect increased shine and less unwanted frizz as well — plus generally healthier-feeling hair. And as a fan of this particular shampoo, trust me when I say you'll see the difference in just one wash.

Rave review: “The scent is heavenly and nothing has made my hair this nice, not even oil treatment, truly magical stuff. I use the conditioner as well, they're both amazing and very affordable.”

Formulated specifically for curly and wavy hair, this is another Shea Moisture shampoo that works overtime in the moisturizing department. Key ingredients include neem oil, hibiscus flower extract, and silk proteins. That decadent (but surprisingly lightweight) blend works together to restore hydration, enhance shine, and reduce the hair damage for healthier, bouncier, more defined-looking curls. With over 10,000 five-star ratings, and counting, this is one of Shea Moisture’s most popular offerings — and one of the most-loved shampoos for curly hair, period.

Rave review: “This curl shampoo enhances, like a curl cream or other styling product, and makes my wavy hair curly almost immediately- I wonder if it's the neem oil or hibiscus but the effect is darn visible! I love it because the look I get right after I shampoo and air dry my hair is natural, healthy, curly, and more tamed than other [...] products have gotten me.”

If repairing damage is your main concern, Shea Moisture's Strengthen & Restore Shampoo was created to do exactly what its name suggests: Strengthen hair to restore it to its healthiest state. The formula contains a blend of rice proteins, shea butter, and black castor oil, while apple cider vinegar and peppermint oil rebalance your scalp’s pH level — so not only does this shampoo help prevent and repair damage, but it can also increase thickness and promote healthy hair growth. Thanks to those targeted scalp benefits, this formula works wonderfully for oily and itchy scalps, as well.

Rave review: “Absolutely love this shampoo!!! Cleanses build up and residue from my locs and helps them remain strong and healthy looking. Also aids in growth!”

All Shea Moisture shampoos work beautifully on curly hair, but this Hi-Slip Detangling Shampoo is formulated specifically for tight curls and coils. In here, red palm oil, cocoa butter, and flaxseed oil work to soften and moisten curls, melt through knots, and define curls that are prone to shrinkage. “It's great for hair that's tightly coiled,” one Amazon shopper confirmed. “The smell is AMAZING!!! I wish I could use it as a perfume!”

Rave review: “I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I have 4b hair, and it detangles my curls/coils effortlessly. I would definitely recommend. Buy now!”

Though Shea Moisture’s Intensive Hydration Shampoo is my personal favorite hydrating formula, this Hydrate + Repair Shampoo is another amazing option for nourishing and revitalizing dry hair. This formula uses mafura and baobab oils, in addition to manuka honey and yogurt, to quench and plump up brittle strands. It’ll also make hair smoother and generally easier to manage, in addition to detangling and adding a healthy dose of shine.

Rave review: “Excellent gentle cleansing shampoo. Really softens and moisturizes hair. [...] Works great with the matching conditioner. Smells very pleasant and detangles hair. Highly recommend.”
