Iniece, as those two products contain shea butter, I was wondering whether your hair usually liked shea butter, or if they are an exception.

Also do you generally find it easy for products to penetrate your hair? I am having trouble finding products that absorb well, as my hair barely even absorbs water, far less other stuff.

TIA!

Sounds like you are having the problem I was having a year and a half ago.

My hair does not like shea butter in high contents…it cannot be one of the first 5 ingredients…lol….my hair always ends up drier w/ too much shea butter

But I did find out that it works well if it is combined w/ other butters & ingredients my hair likes like water, aloe vera, & essential oils …always need water first though..

Another thing I had to learn was that if my hair is not twisted or something the moisture evaporates quickly no matter what I use…

With that said…. I wear my hair in twists & twisouts 100% of the time because my hair is always moisturized, healthy, and very much no fuss this way.. I can work out, love my man..lol..& it’s like so what if you messed me up just twist me back up & I’m ready!

Also the big plus is that I have alot less breakage & literally no hair woes, not to mention the fact that people are always in awe that my hair is natural…it feels good…

PM me if you need more info…HTH

I usually wash my hair and let the conditioner sit on a couple minutes while I do my shower thing, then comb…then rinse. That works great for me. 😉
