I’ve been hearing so much about this product via Youtube or the various message boards that I frequent but had never cared to try it. I found it in Walmart for the low low of $4.89 plus tax. I must admit that this product just might become a staple.

How I used Cantu Shea Butter LIC: First I washed with Organix Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner and followed with a 3 minute hair mayo treatment using Africa’s Best Organics Hair Mayo. After rinsing my hair completely I applied the Cantu Shea Butter LIC, sealed with Castor Oil and braided 2 French Braids. That’s it. After just one application I’ve noticed less breakage and over all stronger hair. I would like to add that I’ve also recently upped my protein so I’m sure that has a lot to do with it as well.

Bottom line: Good product, great price, not so great smell.

Ciao for now!

Hey Yall,

My my my, has it been a while.  I got a comment on my Beauty 4 Ashes post about the website being down for maintenance for fall updates.  This is true and if you have an impending order with B4A, you can contact customer service via email at: customerservice@discoverb4a.com.  Any new customers should just check the website in within the next few weeks.  Their website still remains: www.discoverb4a.com .

What’s up people.  I came across this really great site on Jojoba oil and just wanted to post the link here.  Very informative and well written.  Enjoy!

According to my research, hair grows at an average of 6 inches a year or 1/2 inch each month but is it possible to increase that growth? Some say Yes and some shout NO!  I say yes.

Various healing properties can be derived from nature to cure many ailments of the body, so why not hair growth?  If you aint up on the Essential Oil game, I suggest you visit the Essential/Carrier Oil page to discover what Mother Earth has for you.

Before opting for growth aids I suggest you build a “hair care regimen” that your hair responds positively too and test it for approx 2 months.  Measure your growth at the start of each month with a tape measure and at the end of the 2 months you should have a pretty good idea of your growth rate.  From there you can start to give an honest test of the ‘wonder tonic growth aids’ you’ve been itching to try.  If your hair averages the same rate as the control growth rate, then you can be sure that growth aid didn’t work and you should move on. 

Various things from Rosemary Oils to Sulfur are said to promote hair growth but hair care is no one-size-fits-all area.  It’s all about trial and error. 

I’ll add more to this after my 2 month “control period” to illustrate what worked/ didn’t work for me.
