Shea is the natural hair care app and hair growth tracker made for Black women with Type 3 and Type 4 hair: 4C, 4B, 4A, 3C, 3B and 3A.
Generic apps do not understand natural hair. Coily, kinky and curly hair needs different products, different routines and different timing. Shea is built around exactly that.
KNOW WHAT IS IN YOUR PRODUCTS
Scan any product's barcode or its ingredient list and Shea reads it against 2,300 ingredients, then tells you how it fits your hair. Not a generic score. Your porosity, your curl pattern, your goals. It flags protein when your hair is protein sensitive, drying alcohol high on the label, and buildup you will need to clarify. Tell Shea what your hair hates and it watches every label for you.
CHECK YOUR WHOLE SHELF AT ONCE
One product tells you almost nothing. Shea reads your entire routine together and finds what no single scan can: protein creeping into everything, a shelf that is all moisture and never holds a curl, buildup with nothing to lift it.
A COMMUNITY OF WOMEN WITH YOUR HAIR
Ask a question and get real answers from women whose hair actually looks like yours. Over 5,000 black women so far. Wash day wins, product disappointments, length checks, and the questions you would not ask anywhere else.
HAIR GROWTH TRACKER
Monthly progress photos, side by side then-and-now comparisons, and length measurements from TWA to waist length. Real proof your routine is working.
WASH DAY AND ROUTINE
Build your wash day and follow it step by step. Pre-poo, co-wash, deep condition, leave-in, style. Shea reminds you when the next one is due.
PRODUCT SHELF AND RATINGS
Track every product you own, rate it on moisture, slip and hold, and find your holy grails. Stop spending money on things that do not work on 4C, 4B, 3C or 3B hair.
STYLE LOOKBOOK
Log every style you wear. Knotless braids, twist outs, wash and go, faux locs, bantu knots, mini twists. Save install and takedown dates, photos and notes. Learn which styles your hair keeps and which it does not.
DAILY HABITS AND STREAKS
Moisturize, silk bonnet, scalp care, water. Small things, tracked daily, are what actually grow Type 3 and Type 4 hair.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Blur faces in your progress photos with one tap. We do not sell your data. We do not run ads. We do not track you.
WHO SHEA IS FOR
Black women with 4C, 4B, 4A, 3C, 3B and 3A hair. Whether you are transitioning from relaxed, growing out a big chop, or keeping a routine you already love, Shea was built for you.

I love this app. It’s been soo nice to have. Keeping track of all my hair habits and what it needs and learning new methods to help has been a struggle but this app helping me with all of it has lightened the load cuz 4c hair is a challenge to begin with (for me at least lol) but cooperating with it and learning it brings so much more kindness and grace. I saw an ad for this on instagram and got it immediately cuz an app that’s for ME ..and not clickbait ?! Almost unheard of today. I’m a pretty forgetful person but the reminders I get and remembering all my little accomplishments are sweet and just pushes me to take care of my hair more. I’ve literally never done an app review in my entire life so that’s how you know the app is GOODT! I truly have nothing bad to say about this app, I just hope it sticks around!
This apple is near perfect! But it still deserves 5 stars!

This is truly a teacher. Something that lets you look at your routines and style changes overtime. A very user friendly wash day setup too. And I love it has it set to wear you can chat with other users. The 2 things I wish it could do is back log. If you miss a logging m for the day just from being busy even though you did the task, you can’t go back to it. The other thing I wish it had was a journal section to free write, but that’s just me. But the app is phenomenal!
Developer Response
Ceilleaux, thank you so much, this made our whole team smile 🧡 The happiest part: both of the things you wished for are in Shea v.3.2 now.If you did your care but got too busy to log it, you can go back and add it. Open the Care Calendar, tap the day you missed, and log it after the fact.And there's a free-write journal too, it's called My Journal, where you can write anything you like. We just put it right on your Today page so it's easy to find (just scroll at the bottom).Please make sure you're on the newest version so you have both. Thank you for seeing what we're building, it means everything 💛

I could say so much but I want to keep it short. This app provides community, accountability, and actual help. On top of that you are able to see how consistent and track how said advice helps with your hair goals. I want everyone with natural hair to be on here!
My 4c hair is loving this app!!

First, this is app is really beautiful, I really love the lil mascot, she’s adorable. The features I love the most are the daily log care thingy and the personal journal. I have not yet tried the shelf features but so far the app keeps me consistent daily. I recommend and will share with my 4 c friends
A smoother Shea. We've polished a few things and fixed some bugs. Thanks for growing with us.
