My daughter has very curly (3c) hair. One day I ran out of her regular hair products and decided to put a bit of the Buriti butter in her hair instead. It was FABULOUS!!! It works like shea butter on the hair, with gentle moisturizing hold and a great smell. All my curly haired friends and their kids have also started to use this product. I find in fact, that I prefer it as a hair product than a body cream. So all you curly haired Momma's, give this a try, you won't be disappointed.
