Hey Queens
Let's talk about our hair and share butter 😊
Okay I know we all have heard about how share butter makes our hair grow but am sure not so many of us knows about the details

Are you looking for a way to increase your natural hair growth? Do you have dry or itchy skin? If so, then you need to try raw shea butter. Raw shea butter benefits hair growth and healthy skin. Just read my post to learn why you should try this natural hair and skin product.


What is Shea Butter?

Shea butter comes from the Shea tree and is a yellowish or ivory colored natural fat. It has been extracted from the seed of the African shea tree. Some people called this tree by its French name “Karite tree” which means the tree of life due to its healing properties. The main two fats of shea butter are oleic acid and stearic acid. In its pure unrefined state, raw shea butter has been used in Africa as cooking oil, for candle-making and arthritis. It also prevent dry skin and of course it has been used for hairdressing as it gets absorbed quickly without leaving any residue. Shea butter melts at body temperature



What are the benefits of shea butter on our hair and body 

Shea butter has many potential benefits for hair and skin including moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging effects.

Moisturizing

One study tested a cream that contained 5 percent shea butter on the forearms of 10 people. The participants noted that they could feel the moisturizing effects of the cream for up to 8 hours after it was applied.
Another study found applying shea butter to skin can help treat eczema.
Shea butter is also very moisturizing for the hair and scalp. People with curly and coarse hair textures benefit from using shea butter as a sealant to keep moisture in their hair and increase softness.

Anti-inflammatory

Another study found that shea butter helps your skin react less to irritants. Researchers believe this is because shea butter contains the chemical compound amyrin, which has well-documented anti-inflammatory properties.

Anti-aging

Several studies have found that shea butter helps cell regeneration, minimizes signs of aging, and boosts collagen. Many of these benefits are also attributed to amyrin.

Hair care

Shea butter also has a lot of potential in the hair care world. While shea butter hasn’t been extensively studied or reported on in scientific journals, related butters and oils have been researched with animal and human subjects.

Prevents breakage

One human study investigated the role of miracle fruit seed oil in preventing hair breakage. Synsepalum dulicificum, a native West African fruit, also produces an oil. It has a high fatty acid content (just like shea butter), which makes it easy for it to penetrate hair in oil form. This can help with hair breakage.

Moisturizing

Filled with Vitamins A and E along with essential fatty acids, shea butter has both emollient and healing properties for the skin. Some of these ingredients, such as the high content of fatty acids in shea butter, are also thought to help add moisture to your hair.
This might possibly reduce dryness and prevent split ends. Fatty acids also help increase shine and reduce the frizz of your hair. It may also help protect hair from heat damage caused by flat irons and blow drying.

Reduces scalp irritation

Shea butter’s anti-inflammatory properties might also help reduce redness and scalp irritation by providing healing effects without clogging the pores. Additionally, as a natural product, it’s safe to use on all types of hair, even hair that’s damaged, dry, or color treated.
Raw shea butter isn’t the only hair care solution available. Certain over-the-counter hair care products (especially conditioners) also contain shea butter. The role of conditioners in overall hair health includes strengthening hair fibers, lubricating cuticles, and reducing frizz.
