Walgreen’s BOGO Sale on Shea Moisture

Posted on July 18, 2015 | 3 comments

I took advantage of the buy one get one free sale Walgreen’s had on Shea Moisture products.

This is what I purchased.

Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Leave-In Conditioner
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow & Restore Treatment Masque
Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo
Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner

I stuck with the Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Restorative Conditioner. I didn’t feel the need to try a different shampoo and conditioner at this time.

I started using the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Leave-In Conditioner during the Winter. It’s been a great addition to my haircare routine.

I’ve had my eyes on the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Growth & Restore Treatment Masque for quite some time. I’m glad Walgreen’s had this in stock.

I attended the International Natural Hair Meet Up that was held in Pittsburgh, PA. The Pittsburgh based natural hair group It’s a Natural Thang sponsored this event In addition to having wonderful vendors, this event concluded with a special presentation. The presentation was called “International Hair, The Diaspora Edition: The drum, the braid, the dance.” The presentation documented the story of African descendants and gave an account of hairstyles/headwraps and dance traditions.
