Hey guys,
TBG here with some good news. So I broke down and bought a transitioning hair kit by Shea Butter Moisture. It cost me $24 and came with a deep conditioner, shampoo, a deep treatment masque and argon oil spray.

The deep treatment masque is also a leave in that made my hair feel like heaven.  What I did was apply a liberal amount to my fingers as I was twisting and words can not describe the  moisture. I swear my hair was thanking me.

Here’s a pic of bantu knots without the shea butter:

They look alright but trust me my hair was sooo DRY. It’s kind of scary because my hair started breaking and shedding due to the rough treatment I was putting it through. Olive oil hair moisturiser is NOT enough lol. I was using Jamaican black castor oil and olive oil hair lotion (typically comes in a green bottle) for the bantu knots and it’s not enough.

This is the transitioning kit and it’s constituents:

And individually:

And my two life savers:

Deep Treatment Masque

Reconstruction Finishing Oil

I used the masque while twisting and sprayed the finishing oil on my scalp when I was done before putting on a satin cap. My hair feels light, fluffy and looks well moisturised. I’m very pleased.

So I will definitely be purchasing a larger version of these products. My natural friends told me to try Cream of Nature, but my YouTube hair idols use Shea Butter Moisture so I tried that instead.

Remember, everything doesn’t work for everybody. Try different things and see what works for you.

As always,
your friend TBG!
