Reviews
I initially liked this after
"I initially liked this after receiving as a freebie with purchase. However, it needs to be used more sparingly, as it can leave your hair greasy looking, like you need a good wash. It seems to work better for me if I spray my hair with water first and then use it. Otherwise, I look like I haven’t washed my hair in days. It also needs to be shaken frequently to keep the ingredients emulsified."
Shake & Shine
"I’ve been using it for about a week and my hair feels a lot softer! This gives my hair a nice refresh for when I want to make my curls stretch another day. Highly recommend!"
Shake and Shine
"I love this spray. I got it as a free gift with my purchase and I will be buying it again once it runs out. I don't follow the instructions. I spray it on wet to damp hair after wash day and I get perfect curls on my 2b/2c curls"
Nice but not for my curls
"I love the fragrance and the concept of biphasic product, but for my 3c curls it doesn't work good enough as refresh styling method. It adds a little nourishment but it's too light for my dry frizz hair which need a cream based styler even for refreshing."
Not really impressed with weight
"Not really impressed with weight was find the smell not that great and my hair didn't seem any more hydrated than usual. I'll give another go but now as pleased with this as with some of Curlsmith's other products."
Must have!
"2c/3a curly wavy medium length hair . Prone to frizz and dry. An absolute must have for next day refresh and top up during day for me. Greatly reduces frizz, not too heavy, moisturises hair,helps hold curl pattern, sprays eveningly. I've tried alot of refresh sprays on the market, some are nothing but watered down gel, this is by far the best I've came across."
This one im not a
"This one im not a fan of or at least haven't figured out how to use properly. It smells great and the idea is great but it doesn't refresh my curls."
My new holy grail product
"First off, I’m a HUGE fan of Curlsmith products. I always get complements on my hair and other curly hair girls are constantly asking me what products I use. Having said that, I have my routine and am always nervous to mix it up. I do struggle with refresh days though. Feel like my normal products give me mixed results…sometimes turns out okay, some days I’m throwing on a hat. Tried the new shake and shine the day before wash day thinking not a huge deal if it didn’t work, because it was just a day before I would do a whole reset. I was absolutely blown away. No product I’ve tried, and I’ve tried dozens, has made this much of a positive impact on my hair this far from wash day. It calmed the frizz, didn’t weigh my hair down, didn’t have to load a ton of product on (which usually have to on refresh days), gave my curls definition…seriously my new holy grail product! I have used it several times since with the same results. It is so easy, and it just takes all the work out of my refresh days. Absolutely love this product and it has become a staple for me!!!"

Q&A
- Does the shake and shine leave hair crispy?
- Hi Rachel! No this product shouldn't leave the hair crispy :)
- I’m considering purchasing the hairdryer and diffuser and this product is in my cart as a free sample however I am allergic to floral smells, is it possible to substitute something that does not have any flower smelling scent?
- Hi Amy, Thank you for your question. Shake & Shine does have a light floral scent, so it may not be suitable if you’re sensitive to floral fragrances.
