Palm oil and/or coconut oil and/ or palm kernel oil and/or olive oil, vegetable glycerin, organic shea butter, mineral pigments or natural colorants, blends of fragrance, natural oils and essential oils.

It's a soap bar that i use for my body and it causes bubbles but it says 100% vegetable oils so I thought id ask

No. The palm oil, Coconut oik, and olive oil, as well as the glycerin are all going to condition your hair. That's something you obviously don't want for locks. Some african textured hair needs more conditioning, but that's even too much for that hair type. Plus, "blends of fragrance" means nothing. You can mix certain chemicals together to get different scents. That fact that they don't specify what is used, you can assume that it's no from a natural source.

all i like to use is just a touch of shea butter but be careful that it is pure and unrefined... i am a bit spoiled as my sis travels to Ghana ,Africa every week and is able to get me unrefined shea butter rite from the shea nut mmmm !

the combination of oils and fragrance could leave residue as it conditions your hair. I wouldn't use it in my hair.
