Oh boy I used to be a huge Nubian Heritage soap fan.  I used to buy it in Harlem and get six bars for ten dollars and some free incense.  I went to the actuall nubian heritage store in Jamaica Queens and they are very helpful, and the bars are 3 dollars each.

 

That soap did total wonders on my skin but when I moved I was a bit miffed because other places sold the soap for ridiculously high prices. If you go to a mom and pop beauty store they sell varied kinds for 3-5 dollars a bar.  I never thought of trying that on my hair!  If I could remember which brand did wonders for my skin.  I remember it had wildflower bits and came in a brownish box.  By the way they sell liquid soap too.

i mean its mostly conditioners so it would prevent or reverse progresss and  what would you look for  them coming completely untangled

once thwyre mature its probly fine to use  every so often when u need conditioning maybe everytime if u tend to be really dry

bu t b4 theyre a year old that will loosen 4em up alot maybe nmake em fall apart depending how far along u are

SE has a point.  I use that stuff for acne, I have never heard of it being used for hair.  But they do sell liquid soap so maybe that won't have as much butters and oils.

 

To be honest I have actually been getting into making my own soap.
