Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo 24oz — sulfate-free deep moisture

SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo is a sulfate-free, nutrient-rich cleanser formulated to deeply moisturize and soften coily, type 4 hair.

This updated 24 oz formula produces a creamy lather that cleanses without stripping natural oils, combining manuka honey, mafura oil, baobab oil, fig extract and fair trade shea butter to replenish dry, brittle strands. Designed as the first step in an intensive hydration routine, it prepares hair for easier detangling and improved manageability while avoiding sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and petrolatum.

How does this shampoo restore moisture without drying curls?

The formula balances gentle surfactants with richly emollient ingredients so it lifts dirt and build-up but leaves the fiber hydrated. Manuka honey draws in moisture, while mafura and baobab oils help smooth the cuticle for softer, more resilient curls.

• Manuka honey: humectant to attract and retain moisture.
• Mafura oil: richly emollient to soften porous strands.
• Baobab oil and fig extract: nourishment and improved manageability.
• Fair trade shea butter: helps seal hydration and reduce frizz.

Will this shampoo help with detangling and curl definition?

Yes — by restoring moisture and smoothing the strand surface, the shampoo reduces knots and makes fingers or a wide-tooth comb glide more easily. It’s formulated to work best when followed by the Intensive Hydration Conditioner for enhanced slip and definition.

• Creates silk-like detangling for less breakage when combing.
• Prepares hair to accept conditioner and styling products evenly.
• Helps curls look softer and more defined after conditioning.

What makes this SheaMoisture variant different from other shampoos?

This intensive hydration shampoo avoids harsh detergents and common synthetics while focusing on nutrient-dense botanicals tailored to very dry, coily textures. The combination of mafura and baobab oils with manuka honey targets the needs of type 4 hair, which benefits from heavier emollients and humectants.

• Sulfate-free cleansing that minimizes moisture loss.
• No silicones, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, or petrolatum.
• Contains ethically sourced, fair trade shea butter handcrafted by women in Africa.

How should I use this shampoo for best results?

Wet hair thoroughly and apply a generous amount to the scalp and lengths, working into a creamy lather. Rinse and repeat if needed, then follow with SheaMoisture Intensive Hydration Conditioner to lock in moisture and finish your routine.

• Use on wet hair, concentrating on the scalp to remove build-up.
• Rinse well and apply conditioner for optimal hydration and slip.
• Use regularly or as needed depending on hair’s dryness and styling frequency.

Who is this for: This shampoo is formulated for people with coily, type 4 hair and especially for those experiencing extreme dryness, brittleness or damage that needs intensive moisture. It’s a strong match for anyone seeking a sulfate-free cleanser that supports detangling and prepares hair for deep-conditioning treatments, and for shoppers who prefer ethically sourced shea butter and cleaner ingredient profiles.
