I've been using Shea Moisture hair products for years now, and I'm usually a coconut-hibiscus person. Last month I was at CVS looking for a replacement tub of my old standby, and they didn't have quite what I was looking for. I tried a new-to-me product line, the Jamaican black castor oil.
It's not a fabulous name, to my ear -- I associate castor oil with sad children's literature characters from the 1950s and earthy-crunchy moms trying to kick-start labor. But it is a fabulous cool-weather hair product. This is today's zero-effort hair, curl definition courtesy of the smoothie cream.
With any product for curls, there are tradeoffs: crisper curl definition usually means more residue. That's true of this one, too, but I like it anyway. And this is probably a niche issue, since I don't know how many people with fading red hair read this blog and also buy curl products, but I find that thick and opaque curl products like this one mute the color of my hair. I'm a fan, though. I'll definitely buy it again.
