I know this thread was for 2015. Much of what was said within this thread, held true for me in 2017 as well. I learned that I have to whip shea butter in order to make it work for me. The benefits have been amazing!
- no tangled hair
- fewer to no single strand knots
- super shine
- buttery soft hair
BUT...
Phenomenal growth and retention were the biggest surprises. I started using these butters
because of the growth and/or retention I saw on women with afro-textured hair who use it faithfully.
Although I have afro-textured hair, what works for most people, rarely works for me. Shea butter has proven to work for me as well.
In addition, now, I can spot who uses shea butter in their regimen by the health, and most importantly to me, usually by the length of their hair. I will continue to use shea butter in 2018
