Shea can be applied to the scalp if it has become irritated, dry and sunburned. When shea butter is applied to the scalp you are adding vitamins that have the ability to stimulate the hair follicle. In turn, will overall stimulate natural hair growth. The vitamin in shea allows the hair to grow faster and stronger. Generally, you’ll have a head full of healthy, shiny hair that is noticeable to all.
Secondly, shea butter is very dense so when it is used a little may go along way depending on what hair type the user has. For example, hair that is thin yet curly can become weighed down if too much is applied at one time.
