Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo for Dry, Damaged Hair — Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil, Sulfate-Free 13 oz

Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Shampoo with Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil is a sulfate-free cleanser that delivers deep moisture and gentle detangling for extremely dry, damaged coily and type 4 hair.

This updated formula produces a creamy lather that cleanses without stripping natural oils, while a blend of fair-trade shea butter, mafura and baobab oils, fig extract, and manuka honey helps replenish moisture and improve manageability. The shampoo is free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum and silicones, and pairs with the Intensive Hydration Conditioner for amplified softness and shine.

How will this shampoo help my dry, damaged curls?

The concentrated hydrators in this formula work to smooth cuticles and restore flexibility so coils feel softer and less prone to breakage. It cleanses buildup while retaining moisture balance to prevent the tight, brittle feeling that follows harsher shampoos.

• Manuka honey attracts and holds moisture for sustained hydration
• Mafura and baobab oils penetrate to soften and add shine
• Fair-trade shea butter nourishes without weighing hair down
• Sulfate-free lather cleans gently to protect fragile strands

Will it detangle and make styling easier?

Yes — the creamy texture and emollient-rich blend reduce friction between strands so you can detangle with less pulling. That silk-like slip helps minimize knots and breakage during combing or finger detangling.

• Improved slip for smoother finger-combing and comb-throughs
• Softening oils reduce snagging and split ends during styling
• Use with the Intensive Hydration Conditioner for best detangling results

Is this shampoo safe for color-treated or chemically processed hair?

The gentle, sulfate-free surfactant system is designed to preserve natural oils and color integrity better than harsh detergents. While it’s safe for many color-treated and chemically processed textures, always patch-test if you have a recent chemical service or consult your stylist for personalized advice.

• No sulfates or silicones to accelerate color fade
• Formulated to cleanse without over-drying processed hair
• Recommended pairing with matching conditioner to maximize moisture

How should I use it for the best results?

Wet hair thoroughly and apply a small amount to the scalp, massaging to build a creamy lather. Rinse well, repeat if needed for heavy buildup, then follow with Shea Moisture Intensive Hydration Conditioner to restore softness and shine.

• Apply to wet scalp and roots, lather gently, rinse completely
• Repeat if hair is heavily coated or very dirty
• Finish with Intensive Hydration Conditioner and a leave-in for added moisture

Who is this for: This shampoo is formulated for people with coily, very dry, or damaged type 4 hair who need intense moisture without harsh detergents. It’s a good fit for those who prefer natural-derived ingredients, support fair-trade shea sourcing, and want a cleansing product that improves manageability and softness when used regularly.
