Review (5/5): Very impressed with the quantity, quality and effectiveness of this butter!
Wow! After all of these years buying Shea Butter lotions and potions -- I did not realize how different this 100% pure butter would be. First of all - it smells totally different than I thought it would, it is less like the commercial "shea scent" and much more smoky/nutty... the scent does disappear pretty rapidly though after it is absorbed. It comes to you like a HUGE stick of butter and it is pretty solid. I have been taking a small amount and melting it between my hands before applying, but I do plan on making a more spreadable lotion by whupping it up with some coconut oil. So far it has surpassed my expections for everything that I have tried it on. I have very dry/frizzy curly hair and it is very effective and taming the crazy without making my hair look greasy - I just use a very small amount after my shower - mostly concentrating on the ends. I am a bookseller and that means that I am handing books all day everyday which really dries out my hands and cuticles - this Shea Butter has been the best thing that I have ever tried to stop and reverse what normally just gets worse as we head into winter. My hands are so much better after just a couple of applications at night before bed.
