My Review:
I love this product! I seem to say that about a lot of products don't I? Well it smells great and I love how thick the product is. The first time I used it, I used too much- so my hair wasn't how I wanted it to turn out. I can tell I used too much because I have read that using too much shea butter can cause your hair to feel "coated". However, I can tell this product works because it SMOOTHED my hair down. Thats a miracle ya'll! I have the hardest time with frizzies in the front of my hair. So this product allows me to lay down those stubborn strands. My hair also feels very moistuized and nourished.
 
I washed, conditioned and then deep conditioned my hair. Then I used this product to detangle and twist my hair. I wore a beautiful twist out on Sunday - and of course forgot to take pictures! So this weekend is my husbands graduation so I will use this product again and take pictures. I plan to look pretty fierce :) That is if my hair cooporates!
