Y’all I’m shook!! Why? Because my hair is still straight 2 weeks later and I’ve been wearing it down everyday because it still looks good! That’s a first for me. Even when I was relaxed I never got more than 3-4 days out of professionally straightened hair!!I don’t know if it’s because it’s my first time getting a silk press, or because my new stylist is bomb, or because I’ve been riding the Shea train, or because my hair is longer now. I don’t know and I don’t care. I won’t change a thing if I’m gonna keep getting results like this!
@SunkissedLife I use whipped Shea Butter to keep my straight hair moisturized before I wrap it at night. My hair does start out weighed down in the morning but it all gets absorbed by the end of the day and my hair is light again. I’m like: where’d it all go?!Its amazing really.
Thank you! I’m claiming it! That’s my rap name should I ever decide to become a rapper. 
iPhone XS Max. That camera blows my mind too.
I might just do that before I put this straight hair away for the next 3 months.
Really cool!!! Even HARVARD recognizes how amazing shea is for the skin!!!!!I just wanted to stop in and testify that the magical powers of Shea Butter are so amazing everyone must stop and take notice. It is BREAKING NEWS!!
I am on BGLH email list (one of my fav places to get pre-whipped shea butter and omg their whipped cocoa butter is my skin #1fav great for date night
Shea Butter is Harvard approved (because duh!) Excerpt from BGLH email:
Harvard Medical School just released a list of recommendations for dealing with dry winter skin. It includes
1. Avoiding harsh/drying soaps.
2. Showering in warm -- not hot -- water.
3. Applying moisturizers to damp -- not dry -- skin.
4. Using gentle skincare products.
5. Using a humidifier.
6. Using thick creams instead of lotions.
From the article;
"Ointments or creams are much more effective at moisturizing than lotions. Ointments are typically petroleum or lanolin based, and creams tend to be thicker than lotions. Additional moisturizing ingredients to look for include shea butter, olive oil, and jojoba oil."
Shea butter's recognition here is significant because, as a beauty ingredient, it is fairly new to mainstream America. While its softening, healing and moisturizing properties are well-known in Africa (where shea plants originate) the Western world is learning how incredible it really is!

I’m in the midst of washing my hair after taking down my yarn braids, so I thought I’d snap a pic real quick. I slathered some leave in spray, Knot Sauce, and Shea Butter while I was removing the shed hair.
Here’s a bonus pic: the big ball is from removing the braids, and the little ball is after I washed. I didn’t use a comb at all throughout this entire process, just finger detangled
Oops, forgot the bonus pic lol:
@ElevatedEnergy
EXCUSE, me!
Hello!
How are you...
Going to tell us you straightened that magnificent head of hair...
And there is not one single picture?
So can we see some pictures please? I understand if you say no, because if you don't share it is usually for a good reason.
It's in a twisted bun at the moment but whenever I take it down in a few days, I'll snap a few!
They have these oils at bbw that work great to scent your shea mix
mmmmm
Omg, Cinnabon probably will smell amazing.
This is for 2019!
