Thank you for your suggestions. I will purchase some oils. I went home last night and did my first conditioning wash. I can't believe how nice my hair came out. I wouldn't have ever thought that I could just use conditioner and still style my hair without washing. Amazing!
Again, thanks so much for the tips!!!

The trick is that you do a hot oil treatment on the hair with the shea butter and do your regular shampoo and conditon. Dry hair absorbs oil better and then you wash away whatever your hair didn't absorb. Sometimes I even do it overnight putting the oil in my hair and sleeping with it.

I used it while I transitoned and it made my hair super soft. I just melted it and then put a plastic cap over my head and used a hot towel...a friend showed me to wet a towel and warm it in them microwave real low....It worked...but now shea butter makes my natural hair greasey so I haven't done it in a while.

Thanks everyone for your tips. You ladies are amazing!
Layla, where do you get your unrefined shea butter from? Is it mixed with other things or is it the true shea butter? From what I've learned, true shea butter has a smokey smell naturally. Thanks.
Not Layla- but when i purchased shea butter last i got mine from www.agbangakarite.com and i was very pleased with my purchase. Plus the money actually goes back to the village that produced it. Hope this helps.
Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's
My mom gets shea butter from this lady's company called Traditional
Products. It's 100% pure shea butter but it has essential oils like
rose or lavendar in it.
Type: 3c/4a Natural

Refined shea butter is not good because they refine the shea butter with bleach that removes alot of moisturizing benefits. You can find it at a natural food store, I get mine at a local African food store.
