As promised, I will now announce the Naturalness in the States give-a-way.  I am giving away two products that I have been using the whole five years that I have been natural: 100% pure unrefined black soap & 100% unrefined shea butter.  These products are a permanent part of my hair and body care regiment.

black soap: http://benefitof.net/benefits-of-black-soap/ (You can also check amazon.com for black soap reviews: Raw African Black Soap from Ghana – 1 Lb) I use black soap for my hair, face and body.  Black Soap was a hair saver when I was dealing with scab hair after my first BC.  I also used black on my son’s hair when his hair was dry.  I make sure to keep a container of black soap around!

Black Soap comes in a plastic container, no labels, no factory packaging

shea butter: http://www.vitaminstuff.com/supplements-shea-butter.html (Here is a link to amazon.com shea butter reviews: Raw Unrefined Shea Butter Grade A From Ghana 2.3 Lbs 15% MORE) I do not like shea butter in my hair, although some people swear by it.  I use shea butter for my dry feet, heels and legs.  It has done wonders.  This is another product that I keep on hand.

The black soap and shea butter that I will be sending does not come from amazon.com.  I purchase my black soap and shea butter from a local dealer, Mama Africa.  Click here for more info on Mama Africa: http://cbpublish.com/myhairjourney_files/?p=260 (Both will come in plastic containers like the one pictured above.)
