I don't think this is for me. We all know that shea butter is a natural girl's best friend. At least my best friend. It's the base for all of my favorite hair products, I use it to make my own mix for twisting and to create lotions and body butters. As for oils, I still make half-hearted attempts to use the oil cleansing method, and I generally moisturize my face with jojoba oil, and my hair with coconut, olive, and castor oils. I also believe in good oral hygiene and beautiful smiles.
BUT...I have just come across an article about the Sengalese practice of tattooing one's gums with a combination of burnt oil and shea butter. Apparently the combination makes one's teeth look brighter and whiter, protects the gums, and is even supposed to improve one's breath. It is a tradition that has been done for generations. It seems like a painful process, but people often say (or said) "no pain, no gain".To read the article, click here.
It does make me wonder about other uses for shea butter. Have you heard about it as a toothpaste? Check it out and let me know what you think!!!
