Most people believe that shea butter is best used only on the skin. It has a magical effect on the skin. It is a natural healer because it contains vegetable fats. It also has natural anti-oxidant compounds that provide the body with moisturising and restoring qualities. Interestingly, Shea butter can also do awesome things to the hair.

Shea butter is a creamy beige solid and fatty oil extracted from nuts of shea-karite tree that grows in the wild. It revitalises dry, dull hair, transforming it into lively tresses and is a rich source of moisture and vitamins for the hair. Typically, it is not a hair conditioner but contains nutrients that keep hair from becoming dry and brittle.
