I have been using the product during my wash days religiously over a time span of nine months, and it has contributed immensely to the overall health of my hair. Therefore, without hesitation, it was only fitting that I got my hands on the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo to try out and present to you an honest product review.
SheaMoisture: Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Hair Shampoo $11.96 (CAD) | 384 ml
w/ Fig & Baobab Oil
Similar to the Intensive Hydration Masque, the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo is ideal for all type 4 hair (4A, 4B, and 4C).
This sulfate-free shampoo is designed to cleanse the hair follicles while infusing hair with intense moisture and nutrients—softening, revitalizing, and enhancing shine for easy after-shampoo manageability.
Benefits
The Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration shampoo contains essential ingredients such as Certified Organic Shea Butter, Baobab Oil, Manuka Honey, and Fig, which aid to moisturize, protect, and restore hair.
In my Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Masque post, I outlined how three essential ingredients (which remain consistent throughout collection) work together to improve the health and condition of the hair. Just in case you missed it, I got you covered below:
Manuka Honey:
Acts as a humectant, drawing moisture from surrounding air to the hair to increase moisture content.
- Contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants.
- Improves scalp health.
- Promotes hair growth.
- Strengthens hair follicles and strands.
- Increases hair shine.
- Hydrates and restores.
Mafura Oil:
Serves as a conditioner and moisturizer, which soften and promotes healthy hair.
- Restores and strengthens dry, brittle, and damaged hair.
- Boosts the over condition of the scalp.
- Hydrates and moisturizes.
Fig:
Acts as an antioxidant (rich in Vitamin C), which protects the hair.
- Promotes hair growth.
- Moisturizes and strengthens hair.
- Keeps hair looking vibrant.
- Prevents hair frizz.
Application
The application of the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo is straightforward. Apply the shampoo to thoroughly wet hair, massaging it into a lather while focusing on the scalp. The lather will work itself into the strands, cleansing both the scalp and hair.
My Thoughts on the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo
The Truth
Prior to using the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo, I had used two main shampoos during my natural hair journey: (1) SheaMoisture: Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo and (2) Mixed Chicks: Gentle Clarifying Shampoo. Both shampoos gently cleanse the scalp to remove product buildup; however, they lacked moisture for my hair, causing my strands to stiffen. On the contrary, my experience with the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo has been overall a positive one over the course of using the product for more than a month.
Unlike the Coconut & Hibiscus Curl and Mixed Chicks shampoos, this formula enhances shine, cleanses, and moisturizes—providing intense hydration to the hair.
What I like about this shampoo is that you can bypass applying a rinse-out conditioner, eliminating a step in your regimen. It is so rich in moisture that it does not strip the hair of its natural oils. Wash days are already a full day’s work without pay—therefore, using a product where you can cut corners is an incentive in itself.
Also, you can expect it to give you a rich, luxurious lather instantly without needing to use a ton of product.
For my kinky, tightly coiled, low-porosity gals & lads like myself, I truly believe you will benefit from this shampoo! It is worth noting that contains shine-enhancing nutrients. As a result, it may appear as if there is still product on your hair even after a thorough rinse—however, that is the shine-boosting effect this shampoo promotes.
Finally, I enjoy the Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo. The lather feels rejuvenating for a luxurious at-home hair experience, providing a healthy, clean foundation that sets the tone for the next step in your wash day routine.
