Product Review- Body Shop Buriti Butter



I discovered Buriti butter one day when I was passing the Body Shop before our curly girl joined our family.  It was a newer skin care line and smelled great.

Shortly after our curly girl came home, I ended up trying this in her hair.  I had read that pure shea butter was a good option for curly hair so I thought I'd give this product a try.  

Here is my review:

Summary:
Overall this is a wonderful body butter.  Smells amazing, moisturizes beautifully and gives long lasting moisture to the skin.  May be a good option for some hair types as well.

Price: $$
($18).  This is a somewhat pricey option.  But if you are careful and go in on a sale day you can often get a deal on this product. (often buy 1, get one 50% off, or buy 2 get 1 free).  We find one container generally lasts 4-6 weeks with daily use on the entire body.

Scent:

An earthy and clean smell, not overpowering.



For Hair: 
Moisture: Helps to define curls by providing moisture.  Good for "thirsty" dry hair.
Hold: None.  This product only helps to define curls, they will frizz or "fly away" if not used with another product.
Other: this product can make the hair greasy, so it can make it more difficult for other curly products to provide hold in the hair.

Who should buy it:
Children with 3A,3B, or 3C curls
Children with short hair
Children with thirsty hair who need moisture, not hold
