Thank the bees for the base, I find that honey is a great moisturizer and conditioner. I also created a natural oil base with essential oils, to compliment the twisting base. I wanted to create a twisting butter that created a firm hold, setting like glass for no build up, and promoting rapid hair growth. I had transitioned from eco-style gel, beeswax, other mainstream twisting butters, because it never gave me results without dryness, itchy scalp, and build up. Being that I too have locs, I use and promote my products, standing firm behind the results. So, if you are looking for a firm hold for cultivating your locs, without the hassle of itchy scalp, build up, or dry, and brittle hair, this twist butter is perfect for you!
