back to basics: shea.
In hair care, product reviews on 11.21.09 at 11:55 pmi think shea butter is going to be added to my list of staples. i just got my very first package of nasabb shea butter, and i’m so glad i did. i’ve completely forgotten the benefits shea butter has for both the hair and scalp. needless to say, i’m going to keep using nasabb’s shea butter. i used to use sher essence shea butter, which is equally amazing but only available in small 4 oz containers. definitely check her store out if you are looking to sample shea butter, though. sher essence also provides with east african shea butter, which is extremely hard to find and VERY SOFT.
i massaged some into my hair may be four or five hours after co-washing my hair with avalon organics olive and grape seed conditioner. my hair was twisted in many buns and still damp. i took out the buns, applied the shea butter, and twisted my hair in large two-strand twists. i took the twists out later on, and my hair felt like heaven! the shea butter also left my curls looking effortless, soft, and healthy. i love the smell of nasabb’s shea butter, and i love that it is creamy– not too soft, but melts and absorbs easily into the skin and hair. A+!
other updates? i just realized that avalon organics’s lavender conditioner contains silicones! shame on me. it’s still great at moisturizing and detangling, but i prefer the moisturizing olive and grape conditioner (which is silicone-free).
