All buttered up and ready to go!

The other day my friend and I were talking hair, of course, and she told me that Shea Butter works really well for her. Her natural hair is long and healthy so I thought I'd give it a try. Following her instructions, I washed my hair with my organic Olive Oil and Aloe Vera shampoo, and conditioned with my Pantene Hair Mask - which is fab by the way - and instead of drying with a towel like I used to do, I simply lightly patted my wet hair to remove some of the water so I wouldn't be a walking faucet, and while it was still wet I applied the Shea Butter directly to my scalp and to my hair, braided it up, and let the butter work it's magic. Surprisingly, like the Kinky Curly Custard, the Shea Butter absorbed the water and my hair stopped dripping and it didn't take long to dry.

This morning I woke up with soft non-oily curly hair that looks and feels better than when I simply used olive oil after washing.

So the verdict is in, Shea Butter has made it on my list of jams!
