Well here’s a happy accident… I mistakenly bought this product when I was looking to buy Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Instead of taking it back, I decided to try it and talk about it. So here’s my review of Shea Moisture’s Deep Treatment Masque:
Shea Moisture’s Deep Treatment Masque $9.99 (12 oz.)
Ingredients: Deionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), argan oil, cetyl esters, sea kelp extract, panthenol (vitamin B-5), ammonium salt, essential oil blend, avocado oil, lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower (and) lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) flower extract, tocopherol (vitamin E), hyssopus officinalis extract, salvia officinalis (sage) leaf and equisetum arvense extract, soybean oil, daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed oil.
The directions on this product state that it can be used as a deep conditioner, and that you should apply it to damp or wet hair, leave on for 5 or 30 minutes and thoroughly rinse. OR you can leave it in your hair and style as usual. Well, since I’m always trying to cut down on the length of my routine, I chose the latter option. I washed and twisted my hair using my usual routine. Then I damp dried my hair with my microfiber towel. I two-strand twisted my whole head in medium sized twists using about a dime sized amount in each section. Then I pulled back the twists and wore them around for a few days. About 3 days later, I untwisted and fluffed and this was the result
My hair was incredibly soft and moisturized, but I like a little more definition in my twists. Next time, I’ll use a little dab of gel in each twist, and I think it’ll give me the definition that I want. As for the conditioning. My hair felt great! It was soft, my scalp felt great, and the next time I washed, it detangled well too! I like the fact that this product is a multi-tasker, and can be used for more than one thing. The ingredients are good too. It’s my first product with argan oil, but I’m researching it and I hope to review more!
RATING*: 5=Savvy! – Good product, good ingredients, multi-tasker and great price.
As always. This product is available in the Savvy Shop

I have to admit that this is one of my staple products. I use this mainly as a deep conditioner, and despite whatever shampoo mishaps I’ve had, this product has straightened it out. I have used this product for twists, but I prefer the curl enhancing smoothie for that.
It would be great for me to find products that I love for my hair. I don’t have a favorite product yet, so I’m going to give this one a try and see if I love it as much as you do. )
I love this product! I’ve been using it for almost a year now. It’s my staple leave-in conditioner–It makes my hair super soft and keeps it moisturized for days. I stocked up during the BOGO so I’ll be good for a looong time.

I’ll have to give this a try for me and my daughter. Her hair tangels so easily and mine can get pretty dry. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been looking for a new moisturizing product. I may give this a go!
This product did not work well for me at all. It didn’t really make my hair soft or anything.
I love the argon oil deep conditioning packets instead, it works way better and I can feel the difference in the 1st use. I have african american curly hair and this just did nothing for me.
So far, I’m on the fence with Shea Moisture’s Deep Treatment Masque. My hair is pretty dry, so I bought it hoping it would work wonders with my hair, but it leaves my hair feeling like hay. I’ve never tried it as a styling agent, so I’m going to do that today with my two strand twists and see if it works. I should probably give up on the Deep Treatment Masque, but I’m trying to get my 10 dollars worth! =)
Your twist out looks soft and pretty! I love it. =)

Thanks for the review savvybrown,
For those who say the masque made their hair dry, I find that it works best with a water-based moisturizer underneath like KBB Hair Milk/Sweet Ambrosia. When I put the KBB in first, I find that my and my daughter’s twists have a brilliant shine and are very soft; without something underneath, our hair looks and feels dull and dry.
[...] asked me had I tried their reformulated shampoo and I got curious. I’d already tried their Deep Treatment Masque, and I really like it. So I thought I’d check the shampoo out for you guys. Here’s my [...]
