Shea Butter review

I love this stuff. I would recommend to go get some. I had bought some shea butter a yr ago or so and forgot all about it. On youtube I was watching fgrogan and she had made some whipped shea butter. So I went digging in my closet and found my shea butter and whipped me up some! lol. Anyways I added Evoo, JBCO, Tea tree oil and Coconut oil. I'm in love with this stuff, I put some on last night and woke up this morning with nice soft hair and I didn't need to moisturize this morning!Go and get some you will like it plus its organic, non processed. You can get it at amazon, costalscents.com, butter-n-bars.com. It is a good investment for your hair!

Comments on my hair!

So I have been receiving alot of comments on my hair! A few would say your hair has gotten long! im so happy because I dont remember the last time I got a comment on my hair. I did a braid out a few days ago and it didnt turn out the way i wanted it to, but still sported it. And got compliments on it! I will do it another time and I will take pictures.
