My Verdict: 5/5

I got a request on twitter from @Safi_HairCare to follow me and I was a little skeptical because I didn’t know who it was or what they were possibly trying to sell me lol. I’m so happy I accepted or I might have been pulling my hair out right about now. In "Here's my story", I mentioned that I thought about slapping some creamy crack back on my hair simply because I knew what products my hair wanted and needed. My natural hair is nothing like my relaxed hair. Lemme say that again my natural hair is NOTHING like my relaxed hair. Coconut oil works just fine for my relaxed hair but my natural hair is dry and needs something heavier to keep it moisturized. Here’s where Safi’s Avocado Shea Hair Butter (ASHB) comes in. I found her Etsy page via twitter and decided to give her product a try because honestly I’m too lazy to attempt to whip something up myself. When I received it in the mail, I smiled because it smelled so good through the mail packaging.  It passed the first test, "How does it smell?" with flying colors.

It’s made of all natural ingredients like Avocado & Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera Gel. My hair couldn’t be happier. It found curls that I didn’t think I had. I don’t know if it’s the combination of my Cantu as a leave in and ASHB as a sealant but my hair is much softer, not greasy or waxy, and has a bounce to it. I can pull a curl and it springs back lol (I do have a few on my 4a/b head.) It's heavier than just using an oil without weighing my hair down.  Plus it smells amazing. I definitely caught myself smelling my hair while I was on line at the bank the other day (I hate how long my bank’s lines are by the way & how the tellers will carry on a conversation with their coworkers like I don’t have things to do… GRRR) I can go an entire day without having to apply anything else to it. Back when I was just using coconut and olive oil, I walked around with a small jar of coconut oil in my bag just in case but I know when I walk out the door after applying my ASHB, I’m set for the day. I got the 4oz jar which sells for $10 but trust this is well spent. This will easily last me 4-6 months maybe more. I do feel a little bad that I’m using it on my twists but my hair will thank me for it when I take them out later. This is definitely a HG product and I’m happy that I found one so early on in my journey.
