The Real Thing


Since I've gone natural  I hardly ever needed to go to the local afro hair and beauty shop. This directly relates to my determination to stick to natural products free from  damaging chemicals.  Also as I come to accept my hair in its natural form I no longer need to buy hair extensions. As a result I had not visited the local Beauty Queen Cosmetics shop in over 12 months.

I usually buy my natural hair ingredients on-line and this lasts about six months. However, a couple of months ago I run out of Shea butter and did not get round to order a new one. So I decided to pop into Beauty Queen Cosmetics to see if they sold an 100% unrefined Shea butter. I found it under the skin care products isle.  I was sceptical that it would be real unrefined Shea butter, as many products claim to be unrefined when they are not. But as desperate times called for desperate measures I bought it. I was not disappointed as Aviela's Shea butter was indeed 100% unrefined Shea butter of fairly good quality. The price was reasonable at £5.00 for 100g. I am pleased that in the future should I need Shea butter I can just pop to my local shop and get it.

Can you get good quality Shea butter in your local hair and beauty shop?
