I have some advice for those people who have to separate their curls by shingling. If you have long hair (meaning long enough to swing when wet) the easiest thing to do is swing/shake your hair into curls. You have to do this in the shower. Drench your hair with water while your conditioner is still in, after shampooing. Drench it, but do not wash the conditioner out at all. Drench it fast the start swinging your hair, using your whole head, from side to side in an arc, then side to side like you’re saying “no” and then back in forth like you’re saying yes. You have to swing the full motion, like you’re throwing your hair with your head and you have to swing it fast. Full motion though. As you swing your hair you will be able to tell which part of your hair is being swung from each particular swing movement. If you feel that a part that is not curled (feels like an afro), put more conditioner in that area, drench it again, and use the particular swing motion that moves the hair on that part of your scalp. I’ve had natural hair for over 20 years and I’ve shown many people how to shake their hair into curls. It doesn’t matter what texture your hair is, it just matters that you use a good conditioner for your hair type and that you drench it enough to make it swing. I always wash my conditioner out with cool water because hot water dries my hair, so you can try that if you’d like. The only other thing is do not comb through those curls that you just swung your neck off for. You have to detangle before you swing. Do not put a comb in your hair again until those curls have lasted for the days that the curls are wearable. As long as you don’t comb through your curls, they will stay. It will be your own curls, not sections that you helped to separate into curls. If you use product move it down your hair like the girl in this video, but swing it after you have the product in. If you do it right, you won’t have any frizz. If your hair is already drying from the product, it may swing but it will not eliminate frizz. Done correctly, the curls will be so separated and tight that you’ll have to pull through your hair upwards to get your hair big, if you like the big hair look. Wish I could show y’all but I don’t do videos. Hope I was clear if anyone tries it. Good luck.

Maui moisture to me looks better. But both sides look good

I’ve tried both brands but Maui is always better because it makes my hair feel more moisturized. The Shea moisture is good but it gives my hair a weird feeling while applying it, although it dries very moisturized.

Maui: better definition, tighter curls, pump volume, and it doesnt look dry. I prefer the Maui Moisture. Shea: less definition and frizzy at the roots, flat to me, and the middle top looks dry. I do not prefer the Shea Moisture but I definitely say go with your gut and overall beginning to end results. Thank you for your review. One day I will try the Maui. Meanwhile, I do use SM on my kids.

How could we Naturals EVER use a relaxer on our BEAUTIFUL NATURAL HAIR?!?!?!??? Your outcome: Sooo pretty! 👍🏽😍

Maui moisture side looks better but still in all your whole head looks good

Don’t know if someone’s already mentioned this in comments but Maui often has buy 1 get one half off at Walgreens

Hello Takria great job on the two hair products. I enjoyed your video and please have a blessed day.

I'm a bit late finding your video. I still enjoyed it. Finally, a person with my curl pattern. Just subscribed 🤗🤗🤗

I like the Maui moisture side. But I do think they’re pretty comparable since your curls are superrrrr defined either way. I never bought anything for Maui moisture, I should now!

I have never tried SM but i promise that maui moisture has worked WONDERS for my hair, my hair just loves this stuff .. btw the maui side looks better

I have a couple products from Maui Moisture and didn’t even notice it was a different company lol I thought it was Shea Moisture and they came out with another collection

I’ve always wanted so badly for Shea moisture products to work but everything I’ve ever tried from any of their lines left my hair dry and undefined. I always hear people raving about it and so I keep buying it only to be pissed I wasted so much money.

Both look good on you. I have tried the Shea Moisture and I like it a lot but I’m looking forward to using the Maui tomorrow and see how it comes out.

Your hair is GORGEOUS!! 😍😍

I Love Shea Moisture! I have never tried Maui moisture....but I will now. On you the Shea moisture looks more moisturized and defined. But the Maui moisture looks more voluminous. I love volume so I will try it. Thanks for the review 💛

I like the Maui Moisture side. I loved the more volume. I love this video; SM products don't penetrate my hair, so I will be trying the MM. Thank you.

honestly the maui moisture looks more defined while having more volume, but you are probably a better judge in person

Great video! I think the Shae moisture curl and style milk made your hair hair really shinny!

I am giving you a thumbs up for the jam playing in 4he background!

Hey new subscriber !! I love the way both sides turned out.

I enjoyed this comparison video. I saw the shine immediately after applying the Shea Moisture milk. I like the Maui end results for day 1 hair...the volume and definition is everything to me. The Shea side just looks flat which has its own benefits to make the wash N go last a little longer. I love the packaging designs of Maui.. too cute. Great video!

Both sides look beautiful! Have you ever used the Maui Vanilla Bean Butter? It's really good!! Great video 😊

The Maui moisture doesn’t have as much “slip” because it doesn’t have silicone like most natural hair products

I've been using the Jamaican Black Castor leave-conditioner (4 months or so) in the steam room. It smells amazing and literally penetrates my hair leaving it moisturised, shiny and quite defined. Paired with the curl enhancing smoothie. My hair growth was insane (for me). It grew by 4/5 inches in that time - double the average rate. The only thing I was annoyed about was how thick it is when applying to dry hair. I'm now going to try out the Shea Moisture Curl & Style milk, after extensive research. I hope I can apply it easier, especially when my hair is majority dry. I'll be using it as the daily moisture top up .Thanks girl.

I hate that Maui moisture my hair. For me it is drying. I think the shea moisture has better ingredients, at least my hair responds well to it. With that being said the Maui moisture side is fluffier I personally like fluffier hair, but the SheaMoisture side looks more moisturized to me. Great video, like when you compare the products.

The Maui moisture side came out better. But the overall hair looks great.

Maui moisture side looks better.... I have the same texture as yours and Shea moisture does not do it for me lol.

While wet they looked the same to me! However dry it appears Mai has more volume. Shea moisture looks like it held longer. It looks good to me on both sides

I have Shea moisture I just started using it my hair is so dry and damaged I have to give it time to get my curls completely back

I've never tried Maui Moisture products.. Been spoiled by Shea Moisture lol... But i need to give them a try.. They are way cheaper.. With my luck ima end up liking them and stocking up on the whole brands line lol

The Maui moisture side is a bit more frizzy but I like the volume!

I got maui curl milk. It is really great to tame the frizzy hair. I love it

Your curls are beeeautiful

I way prefer Maui...so much shinier, slippier (the shampoo and conditioner especially, not so much in the milk I prefer Cantu milk overall if I had to choose), moisturised beyond belief...I use the conditioner as the leave in too, works great.¡, have you tried the shampoo and conditioner? Dramatic difference in the result for me too my curls are finally poppin and holding! Not as greasy as Shea at all, I'm caucasian 3a so I guess its way different for everyone depending on your hair type and needs, just keep trying things and you find what your hair loves huh! x

Maui Moisture looks good to me and i luv the volume. 💕🔆

Which Shea Moisture Smoothie were you using? They have three versions: Shea Butter, Vegetable Oil or Coconut OIl as their primary ingredient after water. I need a new Shea Butter product since Shea Moisture did switch and bait on us with Coconut Oil!

the shea moisture curling smoothie always makes my hair really dry and frizzy I was really disappointed in that product :( but I was also told that the formula changed or something so maybe that’s why it hasn’t worked for me. just got the maui curl smoothie I hope it does me good 😩

Yes both sides looks good, but I agree with you, the Shea Moisture side looks better.

I used to love the coconut and hibiscus line from Shea Moisture but they changed the formula. I don't get as much definition as I used to.

Both are lovely 😊

Never used the Maui line! I’m a huge fan of Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil line 😩 especially their deep conditioner does wonder to my hair. But I will give them a try

I left shea for maui and my hair that didn't have a curl pattern did a whole 360

Hi I'm a new subscribers I bought Shea milk and style and I have live in conditioner and curl keeper but I tried thousand times my hair is not getting curly I don't know why can you advice me please 😭

@03:33 girl I agree. I don't even play with those bottles once they get half way empty. I cut them open with scissors and transfer the rest of the product to a container where I can scoop it. For both the shea moisture milk and the Maui moisture milk, lol. They are in the wrong type of containers in both cases in my opinion.

Both sides look pretty much the same to me. Both a good result. Good to know that Shea Moisture applies better. Although, Maui is cheaper. Which smells better?

The Shea moisture Side looks so much more shiny than the other side

Hello Takira great job. Please have a blessed day.

Omg your so gorgeous!💖

I think ktighy have been helpful to compare some of the ingredients. Maybe the first 5. Your hair looks great on both sides.

I can’t do shea moisture, my hair hates coconut . Do they have a curly smoothie without coconut?

Both side looks great

maui moisture gave you hella definition girl but either way you’re gorgeous omg

I hate shea moisture products it does ZERO for my 4a/3c hair

I loveeeee the Maui Moisture side! It’s been on my list to try. Tfs 💕

like the Maui moisture side better. never tried them yet...really want to but got to use up my Junkie stash first LOL

I like the Maui moisture side . But it just depends on everyone hair textures . Their both cute .

Such a beauty✨

Question: what hair type do you have cause mine looks exactly the same and I need help lots of it

The Shea Moisture side looks better. I prefer Maui Moisture in my hair though

I started my natural hair journey in November and it’s been a challenge with trying products and learning how to use them. My latest purchase were the Maui Moisture products you used. I’ll apply the same way you showed tomorrow when I wash. I tried both like you did but I wasn’t feeling the MM smoothie so I just applied the MM milk. I prefer how Maui results look on you over the SM which makes your hair look much less voluminous. Have you tried TreLux? So far it’s my absolute favorite!

My Shea Moisture curl and style milk look basically the same as yours. Don't feel bad. LOL. I love both of them. They both are moisturizing though. I think both sides are going to come out nice. I was right. Both sides look really good. Thanks for your video.

Should I be worried my Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie is brown. I just bought it a few hours ago

I like maui..i'd use maui..i hv tried shea moisture...id say not all of them work for me..so i got maui shea butter shampoo..n conditioner..the shampoo is strippin..didnt like that but the conditioner..works great

I've never heard of Maui products.. But we have Shea Butter over here. I do like the Maui side better tho, I'm gonna have to look into Maui because Shea Moisture is Expensive 😭

I like the MM!!

But which feels better and lasts longer? Does the Shea Moisture side feel more oily to the touch than the Maui side? Thanks for sharing!!

I love Maui moisture.

Maui moisture seems like it gave you more volume they just need a gel to take the frizz 😊

i know this is hard to answer w/out a pic, but I have thick, poofy, naturally wavy hair - which one should I try first -- maui or shea?

The fact that the maui took a while to penetrate means its better to me and it will have a more moisturizing effect and the moisture will last longer

Wow, it did a 360 from dry to wet. Shea moisture side is better. I prefer less frizz and more definition

I prefer moisture and definition so shea moisture is the winner for me

A lot of people say that Maui moisture is drying to there hair and my hair is already very dry. I switch shampoo and conditioner once a week. I use shea moisture Jamaican black castor oil leave in conditioner and it does wonders to my hair

Shea Moisture side looks better to me. It's flatter hence more defined, less frizz and much shinier but they both look really good. Almost a dupe.

🤗 GOOD JOB DOING YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR 👍 💞

I think that the shea moisture side will come out the best bc the SM smoothie has a bit more weight than the Maui moisture side which will control the frizz better.

I can't believe I found a KZfaqr with hair like mine

I absolutely love these products but am I the only one that realise the curl milk 8oz and curl smoothie 12 oz have the exact same ingredients in them?

Maui moisture looks so good

the only product i love from maui moisture is their conditioners because i feel like w all their other products i ain’t getting the promised moisture🤦🏽‍♀️. after using their products my hair always feel dried out and that’s never the case w shea moisture

You should try the Sally Beauty Generic version of the leave-in Milk and Smoothie, they are both nice and thick and work really great because of their thickness

Shea Moisture side😜!!!

#1 thing, Shea Moisture all the way, Ur hair looks sic both sides, volume fukn golden from maui and at the same time it looks like the color of ur hair is also less rich on the maui side. That is also my experience from maui, beach style volume but a dry, beach look somehow and it fkd w/ my scalp just a tiny tiny bit. I loved the volume so much and detangling I wished it worked but the dryer side and ingredient list was where it was a No for me. They use coconut based surfactants that are not yet regulated or proven as some other coco based surfactants in other “natural” “clean” products. The coco based products in the maui shampoos are still test tube unverified coco surfactants that are maybe close to being as bad as sulfates, kinda figured why I was getting the cool detangling and volume but also the natural color sucked out of my hair with this kinda unnaturally awesome feeling of beach style dryness. The unnatural part made me question the product and glad I did so I could research the “plant based “ sulfate acting ingredient list thanks for the review I’m reading today for the first time, I was thinking about actually using maui again from a bottle I saved but ur self lookin all awesome with ur hair reminded me how much i loved that maui awesomeness but not to go for it considering their products are not truly that clean and a far cry from the cleaner ingredient list of shea moisture, which has been my go to for that reason

Maui didn’t work for my hair at alll it made it very frizzy abs have white residue all over the plwce

Maui Moisture looks much better... but both sides do look similar... I love Maui Moisture...super hydrating 💕 Great vid

everyone’s hair is different but for me i’ve gotta say maui just works way better for me

Maui moisture looks better to me! It's more volume on the maui moisture side due to the fact your part is not even and there is more hair on the maui moisture side than there is on the shea moisture. Your definition is more on the maui moisture side and the volume fits your face more with maui moisture than the shea moisture side. Target and Amazon sell both products for a very reasonable price than what Ulta is selling them for.

Me *listening to the Maui moisture slip* Takira: “Not much slip.”

Maui moisture has propylene glycol in it so I stopped using it

I love maui better

Maui Moisture looks better

The Maui side looks better looking like Kiki Palmer sure this isn’t the first time you’ve herd that

I love how maui products smell but they not 100% natural so I don't use

Maui works better for my hair , shae moisture products just dry me out for some reason

Wow it’s crazy bc I’m torn between the two of these products 🙄

😍😍😍😍😍😍

Maui moisture

Maui moisture looks better

to me shea moisture looks better to me :)
