Product Overview
This is a three-product regimen from the “Raw Shea Butter / Moisture Retention” line by SheaMoisture, comprising:
- a shampoo (13 oz)
- a conditioner (13 oz)
- a deep treatment masque (12 oz)
The line is specifically designed for hair that is dry, damaged, over-processed or transitioning (for example moving from chemical treatments to natural hair). The core idea is: clean → condition → deeply treat, using raw shea butter plus botanical oils/extracts to replenish moisture, restore lipids, improve manageability and support healthier hair. The official product page for the shampoo states: “Fortify & Restore DRY, DAMAGED OR TRANSITIONING HAIR. This deeply-hydrating shampoo blends together fair trade shea butter, argan oil and sea kelp. It is designed to replenish and seal in moisture to dehydrated strands.”
The conditioner and masque likewise emphasize hair that has lost moisture, is rough, porous or in need of repair. For example, the masque page for the Raw Shea Butter collection states it “deeply motorises and repairs dry, damaged or transitioning hair.”
Key Features & Benefits
Here are the standout features across the three products and what benefits they offer.
Features
- Raw (Fair-Trade) Shea Butter: High in lipids and rich natural butters help restore moisture and softness.
- Sea Kelp Extract & Argan Oil: These botanical oils/extracts support cuticle smoothing, shine, elasticity and restoring hair surface. (Shampoo ingredient list includes Macrocystis Pyrifera (Kelp) Extract, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil)
- Sulfate-Free / Gentle Cleanse: The shampoo is described as “sulfate-free” in many listings, thereby gentler on hair that is already dry or fragile.
- Full Regimen Approach: By using shampoo + conditioner + masque, you’re adopting a system that cleans, conditions and deeply treats — which often yields better results for damaged hair than just one product alone.
- Targeted for Transitioning / Damaged Hair: Frequent mention of “transitioning chemically treated hair to natural” or “dry/damaged” hair ensures the formula is geared toward more intensive needs.
Benefits
- Improved Moisture & Softness: Hair that feels dry, rough or brittle can regain softness, smoother texture, more manageable strands.
- Better Manageability & Detangling: With improved cuticle condition and moisture, less tangling, easier styling, fewer breakages during combing.
- Repair Support: The masque portion especially supports deeper repair of hair that is over-processed, weakened or brittle.
- Smoother Appearance & Shine: Smoothing of cuticles + rich oils help hair look healthier, less frizzy, more lustrous.
- Simplifies Routine for High-Need Hair: The set gives you a clear regimen for high-need hair rather than picking disparate products.

Why Choose This Set?
You Should Consider It If:
- Your hair is very dry, brittle or damaged — possibly from heat styling, colouring, relaxing, or environmental stress.
- You are transitioning your hair (e.g., moving from chemical treatments to natural) and need stronger support for the shift.
- You have textured, curly, coily hair (which often has higher moisture needs and is more vulnerable to dryness).
- You want a complete routine rather than just a single product — one that covers cleanse → condition → deep treat.
- You value natural/ethical formulations — the use of fair-trade shea butter and “no nasties” claims make it appealing.
Things to Be Aware Of / Potential Drawbacks:
- Because the formula is rich and heavy on moisturizing agents, it may be too heavy for fine hair or low-porosity hair (hair that doesn’t absorb easily) — in such cases you might feel weighed down or slick-coated. For example:
“I have wavy hair, about 2A-2B … the shampoo left my head and hair feeling heavy and stiff …”
- Deep treatment masque may require proper rinse and occasional clarifying to avoid buildup, especially if hair is fine or low-porosity.
- Results will vary depending on your hair’s porosity, texture, condition and how you use it (amount, frequency). Some users report less favourable experience.
- Since it’s a set, cost and quantity are higher; you’ll want to ensure you actually need such a “heavy duty” routine rather than a lighter one.
