I have been trying and trying for two year now and I finally got it….. Shea Butter is thee best moisturizer for my curls !

So now what I do is I melt the shea butter down and I’ll mix it in with a few random conditioners, and I’ll add a bit of olive oil, and I’d shake it up and viola !

Thank you !
