Hair Store Snob

After peeping lots of pics of women with dope twists in their hair, I am (once again) deciding to try to rock twists through the month of August. Yesterday, after conditioner washing my hair I noticed I was all out of my usual twist stuff, Elasta QP Mango Butter. I have had a love affair with Mango Butter since I've been natural (for about four years) so it is always in my cabinet...

...but never in the hair store! Every other time I go to the hair store to buy it, they never had it. So I had to buy something new. And I am a hair store snob. I have spent hours in the hairstore, looking at product ingredients and asking the owners why they don't carry certain stuff. A hair store in a black community is the eqivalent to a corner store: nothing remotely healthy, everything is overpriced and lot's of bootleg ish. The only thing seemingly good for my hair, natural shea, was grossly overpriced. So after combing each aisle with a fine toothed eye, I came across this stuff...




Cantu Leave In Conditioner Repair Cream made with real shea butter. The ingredients check out...nothing too crazy, with real shea...

I twisted my mop and it smells really nice, my twists are really soft and plump...so far I'm happy! The next set of twists I do, I may invest more into the product line...but so far a great product!
