essential oils for dreads and scalp health

Would putting shea butter on once every other night be enough or should I go every 2 nights?

In your locks? I wouldn't. Some African textured hair might need a bit more moisturizing, but If you're not African American, it's not worth it

yeah, I'm black and I do notice my hair gets dry.

I'd ask Heather or Eagle, but I feel like Aloe from the plant would be better.

shea can buil;d up alot aloe or jojoba might be a better option or a soap that contains shae instead of straight shae

That's what I was thinking. I know Soap with it is good. I wasn't sure about it straight. Aloe will wash out easily. Shea doesn't. And Jojoba oil is always good. It's the closes to the actual oils your scalp produces

Ok. thanks.

where does everybody get there oils from?

I get mine from Whole Foods. They have the best in-store selection around me. Trader Joes has a few. But there is a great link somewhere on this site that Eagle can point you to. They have everything and good prices. I haven't bought from them yet, but I have checked them out. I can't find the link now, but they are great too

Thanks to you guys for this great information! I have to bookmark this!!!
