Everyday Shea Moisturizing Conditioner in Vanilla Mint Review

I'd been using a drugstore conditioner for a few months, it worked well, but when I ran out I decided to buy a new conditioner with less silicone and preferably more natural ingredients. I went to Whole Foods and checked out their hair care products and saw conditioners by Everyday Shea.

They piqued my interest because my hair is naturally dry and I tend to go through a lot of conditioner, and these come in huge 32oz bottles. I also liked that they contained shea butter, so I bought a bottle in Vanilla Mint.

Texture of
Everyday Shea Moisturizing Conditioner in Vanilla Mint

At first this conditioner felt like it was going to be slightly watery, but once I rubbed it in it felt a bit thicker and more buttery. But I'd say overall it has a thin consistency.

Scent of
Everyday Shea Moisturizing Conditioner in Vanilla Mint

I bought the Vanilla Mint scent because it was the only one that was slightly sweet. But it mostly smells like spearmint, with a little bit of vanilla frosting mixed in. It's not at all my favorite hair care fragrance, because it's a bit blah, but it's not horrible. I do like how it makes me feel refreshed once I step out of the shower though, I feel like I can breathe a bit deeper after it mixes with the steam.

Results After Using
Everyday Shea Moisturizing Conditioner in Vanilla Mint

I have really thick, dry coarse hair and I initially thought that the conditioner would be too light to make an impact on it. It is light and it doesn't weigh my hair down, but it really does make it feel much softer and more moisturized. I also have tightly curled hair that gets quite tangled, and I've found that it detangles more easily once I've used the Everyday Shea. It's also less frizzy and shinier. My hair really loves this stuff.

Sometimes though, when my hair is feeling very dry this conditioner is not enough and I do have to use a heavier conditioning treatment. But for most days it's all I need.

In the End...The Everyday Shea Moisturizing Conditioner is a no frill's conditioner but it's great. It really moisturizes and makes my hair feel silkier without weighing it down. I think it would work for fine and medium textures too. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
