Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo — Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil, 24 oz, Sulfate-Free Deep Moisture for Extra-Dry Coily Hair

Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo with Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil is a sulfate-free cleanser that deeply moisturizes and helps restore softness to extremely dry, coily type 4 hair.

This updated formula produces a creamy lather that cleanses without stripping natural oils, combining manuka honey, mafura oil, baobab oil, fig extract and fair trade raw shea butter to deliver concentrated hydration. Designed for hair that needs extra moisture and improved manageability, the shampoo pairs best with the Intensive Hydration Conditioner for enhanced softness and shine. Free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and petrolatum, this shampoo is formulated to nourish textured hair while supporting SheaMoisture’s community-focused sourcing.

How does this shampoo hydrate extremely dry, damaged coils?

The blend of manuka honey and mafura oil attracts and seals moisture into the hair fiber while baobab oil and shea butter add emollient richness to smooth rough cuticles. The creamy lather cleanses dirt and buildup without harsh sulfates, preserving the hair’s natural oils so moisture stays put after rinsing.

• Manuka honey for moisture retention and a soft feel
• Mafura and baobab oils to replenish lipids and shine
• Fair trade shea butter for nourishing slip and detangling
• Sulfate-free cleansing to prevent over-drying

Will this shampoo help detangle and reduce breakage?

The formula increases slip and smoothness, making it easier to run fingers or a wide-tooth comb through wet coils, which can reduce mechanical breakage during styling. While no shampoo can guarantee breakage elimination, improved hydration and smoother cuticles support gentler detangling and handling.

• Silk-like detangling for easier finger-combing
• Reduced friction from emollient oils and butters
• Paired-conditioning yields better manageability

Is this shampoo safe for my curl routine and scalp?

Formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil or petrolatum, this shampoo is intended to be gentle on textured hair and compatible with many curl-care routines. It cleanses effectively while leaving enough natural oil to avoid scalp dryness for most users, but scalp conditions vary, so monitor how your scalp responds.

• No sulfates for gentler cleansing of coils
• No silicones—compatible with co-washing and deep treatments
• Cleansing plus hydration suited to weekly or as-needed washes

How should I use it to get the best results?

Apply to wet hair, massage gently into scalp to lift buildup and work the creamy lather through lengths, then rinse. For maximum moisture, follow with Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Conditioner and occasional deep conditioning treatments to maintain elasticity and shine.

• Wet hair thoroughly, apply a dollop to roots, lather and rinse
• Follow with Intensive Hydration Conditioner for optimal results
• Use weekly or as your hair’s moisture needs dictate
