One of my favorite parts of being a natural hair blogger is that I have the opportunity to try new products. I was contacted by Jarrai, the owner of Pretty Curls, to see if I would like to try a sample of their shea butters. Of course I agreed and within days I received a package containing a jar of White Orchid scented shea. The ingredients include unrefined shea butter, coconut oil, vegetable glycerine, jojoba oil, orchid and musk fragrance. Also in the package was a tiny sample of their Vanilla Cream whipped shea butter.
Jarrai told me that they are still working on the packaging to improve the appearance of their products. I really like the jar and top and I think whatever they do to the labels will only enhance the current look.
The texture of the shea is much like other whipped sheas I have used before. It melts easily into both my skin and hair.
The scent of the Vanilla Cream is not what I expected but is still nice. It is kind of sweet and a tad strong. The White Orchid, on the other hand, is not as pleasant. Again, I like the texture and I think it would make a great sealant or moisturizer for twists, but I don't like the smell much at all. They have a bunch of other scents that sound more appealing like Lavender Spice and Tropical Twist.
So, overall I think this is a nice shea mix that is worth another try. If I were to order, I would probably try one of the other scents.
Thanks to Jarrai of Pretty Curls for the chance to check them out!
