BAOBAB OIL : UNREFINED
BAOBAB OIL : UNREFINED
Here are some images I took when I visited the Volta region of Ghana in April 2011. The baobab seeds were so refreshingly tasty to snack on after a long warm journey travelling upstream.
Baobab tree is another amazing tree. Standing majestically in front of my "residence" whilst I worked in Northern Ghana in April 2011, it bears the hairiest fruit I have ever seen. Known as towa in Dagbani, it is revered for its medicinal use.
Why is it amazing? Well, it is quite rare to find a tree which has many uses:
* the tree produces gum which is traditionally used to numb tooth ache
* the leaves are edible and can be used in soup
* the fruit can be used in ice cream
* the roots can be used as potash for soap making
* the casing of the fruit can be used as a musical instrument
...... the list goes on :)

Okay, i gave this bar 5 stars as that is the limit. In actuality Ii would have love to give it 10 out of 5 SERIOUSLY. This bar is a GOD SEND for me. I initially used it while doing my undergrad in UK (Cambridge) about 5years ago. I received it as a gift from a giveaway Auntie (Owner of SheabutterCottage) had in which i won this bar amongst many other lovely gems. I loved it soo much that it was the ONLY thing I would use to wash my hair.
I graduated and moved back to Zambia and never got the chance to repurchase before i left; however the bar left such an impact on me that i repurchased it and had it shipped ALL THE WAY TO ZAMBIA (AFRICA). I decided i wanted to quit using sulfate shampoos and decided to repurchase this one. As soon as it arrived, i used it on my hair. I...
