Since I went natural in 2012, SheaMoisture has been a staple brand in my natural hair-care routine. Though I've switched out a few products in my regimen over the years, SheaMoisture's conditioners have always worked well on my 4a/4b curl texture. It comes as no surprise then that the brand's Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Conditioner is an Allure 2018 Best of Beauty Award winner.
This conditioner is made for extremely dry and brittle strands, so if you’re always fighting to keep moisture in your hair (as with most kinky textures) or you just have a lot of damage, this stuff should be right up your alley. It also contains reconstructive proteins that rebuild and strengthen hair, which is great for me because I like to include a protein treatment in my regimen. Some treatments are too harsh for my hair, but this conditioner is the perfect in-between: It's not really a treatment, per se, but more a shot of protein to hold me over until the next time I'm ready for the real thing. I used this conditioner on wash day after taking out a protective style and immediately noticed a difference in my strands. My hair felt stronger, with more elasticity, and without that dry, hay-like feeling you can get with full-on protein treatments.
The only drawback is that this conditioner doesn't give my hair enough slip. With kinky-curly textures like mine, detangling is a huge part of keeping my hair healthy. Even after working this conditioner through my ends and leaving it on as I moved to the next section, I still struggled to run a wide-tooth comb through it. If your hair has a kinkier texture, I recommend doing some serious pre-poo detangling (DevaCurl's Wash Day Wonder is a good one) so that this conditioner isn’t doing all the work. Beyond that, Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Conditioner definitely fulfills its purpose to help repair your strands. It smells amazing and the manuka honey leaves a natural, healthy shine. And the best part? It'll only cost you around 10 bucks.

This sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner set is designed for extremely dry and brittle hair. The shampoo's formulated with shea butter, manuka honey and yoghurt. It aims to restore and transform coarse hair by improving smoothness, texture and manageability. The matching conditioner claims to instantly detangle the hair by smoothing the cuticles, so preventing breakage, reducing frizz and leaving the hair looking healthy with restored strands.
The shampoo comes in a large rounded bottle with a push-up dispenser, whereas the conditioner has a pump dispenser. Both have a light honey and milk scent, but the conditioner also boasts notes of floral berry too.

GHI EXPERT VERDICT
Almost all our testers were impressed with how smooth this shampoo and conditioner combination left their hair. Many commented on how luxurious the formulation felt and liked that it left their tresses very soft, shiny and feeling well-nourished. This was true in our lab test too, where it impressed our experts with a 4/5 score for how well it smoothed and untangled hair. The panel was happy with the lather of the shampoo too, which was pleasant in texture and left the hair feeling clean. The conditioner's pump applicator was also handy for dispensing the thick formula.
