Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If he has dry scalp I would probably try switching to a moisturizing drugstore shampoo - Pantene, Dove, Aussie, Shea Moisture, etc.
  • I've had success with Shea Moisture or Tresemme Botanical products.
  • Shea moisture the goat
  • Use better shampoo less drying like Shea moisture and some mousse, let air dry and finger brush.
  • Just switched to Marc Anthony strictly curls 3X moisture shampoo and conditioner from Shea Moisture(I noticed my curls are much bouncier, softer, and my hair looks healthier)

Cons

  • Almost any gel on the planet is going to be more lightweight than anything by Cantu or Shea Moisture - those are both made for hair with very strong curl / kink patterns (and the weighing down is helpful sometimes) and are known to weigh...
  • Thin hair usually doesn't do well with heavy products likes this or Shea Moisture
  • I’d ditch the shea line. Nortoriously not great and probably too heavy for you.
  • My hair will also have issues with too much moisture (I had to actually chop off about 5 inches this summer because I had overloaded my hair with Shea Moisture products for too long...)
  • I know she’s used kinky curls and shea moisture before, but I’m not 100% if she’s still using one of those or switched

Almost any gel on the planet is going to be more lightweight than anything by Cantu or Shea Moisture - those are both made for hair with very strong curl / kink patterns (and the weighing down is helpful sometimes) and are known to weigh down hair.

I was using heavier products like Shea Moisture for about three years, without clarifying (big mistake).
