@mrsneetje okay, so I watched the vid again, you have 2 daughters with longer hair right? Make sure to use deep "leave in"condition the hair at least once a week. Any black deep creamy conditioner from Walmart will do. I swear by the satin pillow cases, it keeps the hair smooth and shiny. As for the Shea butter, I'm not sure but my family loves it and it smells good too ;)
@mrsneetje try V05 non sulfate conditioner and Shampoo(really cheap!) I'm insanely curious about mix chicks conditioner b/c of the recommendations, it defines your curls and tames the frizz. They have it for kids as well! It's pricey but maybe the kid's products are cheaper? Check online. Hope this helps?
@mstriplechoc I understand that it's afro hair but I thought people of African descent often applied shea butter to their hair to emoliate it (I'm not sure if I'm making into the correct verb, but "to add natural oil") because they want it softer-feeling. Is that correct or are they doing it for another reason? I use it on my husband's dry hair when it's dry and it works well without having to wet it first.
Shea butter is a sealant it block moisture out of the hair, it does not penetrate hair. Eventually the hair will become dry through the use of shea butter without using anything else first, like a water based moisturising conditioner. Check out moisture and sealing videos from other videos on youtube, the best way to care for our hair is to learn from the people who have the same hair.
That is hardly coarse :P his hair will probably grow morenof an Afro but very curly and fine. Go to an Ethiopian barber or Somali or Eriteran. The boys have similar hair and looks, he looks alot like my youngest nephew. Have tried a good non sulfate conditioner? It will be great when his hair get's long :D
How cute. He looks like my son. You are doing good. I only wash my son's hair once or 2x a week and I use hand made natural soaps I buy from WF. He has soft curls.
you should talk to an african american beautician and ask her or him how to care for our kind of ethnic hair, becuase the scalp and hair should be moisterized dailey especially if you had him in a pool full of chlorine.
Thank you. That's really helpful for us to know. When I put the ingredients together, it was after watching many YouTube videos produced by African American women to learn what they do (since I know that shea butter is used for hair in Africa, and now the Americans are catching on to that and using it too).

His hair doesn't look coarse or dry to me, that a negative word to be using in reference to your son's hair. He has afro hair that is all!
Actually shea butter doesn't moisturise, it acts as a sealant and therefore you should only use it on wet hair or after a proper moisturiser.
