Around where I work, you can practically buy it on the street corner. An African store about two and a half blocks up has big tubs of it. I bought some for my hair buddy who lives in the suburbs (smile), but I only purchased one pound for $7.99, but when I go back, I will get the three pounds for $15.00. I find that of all the oils and butters that I add to my conditioner for a DC or a mid-week CO wash, shea butter leaves my hair feeling the best -- silky and non-greasy. It is also the best sealer for me and, it is matchless as a hand cream. Mine is usually creamy in the summer and starts to harden as the weather cools. I just usually melt it down, though, and add an oil -- passionfruit, almond, grapeseed, whatever is on hand, to keep it soft and creamy all year round.
