Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Treatment Masque

Today I took out my twists, applied a hot oil treatment for half an hour with a conditioning cap on. I then proceeded to apply shampoo to my hair, after this i applied Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Treatment Masque. I put my conditioning cap on and applied heat for half an hour. when i removed the cap my hair felt soft and very moisturised.

overall i am happy with the product but I'm unsure if  the moisturising effect was from the hot oil treatment or the masque. Either way i will purchasing this product again as its reasonably priced at £14.99 for 340ml.
