I just washed my hair with the Shea and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner. I have used many different brands, but I have honestly never seen my hair look and feel like this without going to a salon. And really it feels better than salon products. I can't stop looking in the mirror. It is shiny, bouncy, and looks VERY healthy. Usually, after I wash my hair, I have to put some type of product to moisturize, add sheen, and just make it manageable, but I can't believe I don't need anything else! I am definitely going to be a regular customer. I have to try your other products. It's great that I can achieve this look and at the same time I know I am using ingredients that are good for my hair. I'm also happy that money goes to the community! I am going to spread the word with all my family and friends. Thank you Olowo-n'djo! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! I just washed my hair with the Shea and Honey Shampoo and Conditioner.

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to find the perfect combination of body care products to match your skin's balance and needs. It sounds like you're really in tune to what your body is telling you, however. That's a good start. As for finding this soap in a bar, our product offering differs from store to store. So, I encourage you to reach out to your community's Whole Foods Market to learn if they offer this product in a bar or can suggest something similar and complimentary. Follow the link to identify your store and their contact information. Cheers to clean, happy bodies. :) http://wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/ @Amelia Thanks for reaching out.

I only hear people speak of the liquid. Does this line come with the bar . To me it's normal that the soap dries my skin out a little. Its just stripping that layer of skin that needs to shed. I just follow up with Shea butter because black soap is very strong for my skin. I can only use it once a day. If I use it twice it makes my skin raw. I really want a bar soap.

No chemicals, no hype, no "organic" bells and whistles, no essential oils, just the real thing. I like that it can be used as an all-in-one face, body, and hair soap too, which makes it more economical. Reading the company description makes me feel even better about their products. Love it!

I just wanted to say that i LOVE the shampoo & conditioner i just bought a few days ago. I was looking for a shampoo that would not dry out & make my hair hard. I am a Black woman & i wear my hair in its natural state (no relaxers) so finding good moisturizing products without all the harsh chemicals has been a little hard for me. I've just started shopping at Whole Foods and i'm so happy to find all of these natural, organic products. While in the shower using the Alaffia shampoo i could instantly tell the difference. My hair did not feel stripped of all its oils and yet it was very clean. I also love the conditioner. (btw, i purchased the Shea & Honey infused products) My hair felt really good with just the conditioner, but i also added coconut oil to my hair and left a cap on for an hour. My hair has NEVER felt so smooth & soft & MOISTURIZED. I think i'm in love. (lol) I love the products so far. I will be going back to check out the other products. I did get body lotion, but have not used it yet. I really love the idea/concept behind the product line. That is really what made me want to buy the product. Just knowing that my small purchase in some way is helping other women provide for their children & communities. Thank you for this product. Hi.

I hear even in its pure form its great for skin and hair. I am very sensitive to smells therefore I would love to buy raw shea butter. Does Whole Foods also just sale unrefined shea butter from Togo?

Over the past two years, I have probably tried every single hand and body lotion in the store, and I have to say that the Alaffia products are the only ones I would spend $10 a bottle on. They rub in completely, without residue, which is really important for your hands. I have purchased the Cocoa Butter Intensive Lotion, and the scent is absolutely delicious.

After reading about their fair trade work, I decided to give Alaffia's shampoo and conditioner a try, and I'm so glad I did. Not only do I feel good about supporting sustainable and ethical businesses, my hair looks and smells wonderful (always a plus). Their Shea and Red Palm lip balm is also delightful, and smells like tangerines and cloves!
