Shea Moisture Jojoba Oil and Ucuuba Butter Braid Up Conditioning Gel

This braid-up conditioning gel from SheaMoisture is a super-hydrating, non-greasy styling gel formulated to make it easier to create both simple and intricate braided hairstyles. It combines jojoba oil, soothing ucuuba butter and carrot seed oil to moisturise coarse, unruly hair, improving softness, manageability and suppleness to help hair resist breakage caused by the pulling and tension of tight braids. The lightweight hold also helps keep frizz and flyaways under control, making sections more workable and smooth.

💡 How to Use:
Section and detangle hair, then use fingers to apply the gel from roots to ends before braiding.
