I need an easy shea butter recipe
I bought some raw shea butter from a vendor and I don't know how to use it. Any body have an easy recipe for leave in or deep conditioner? Is it ok to melt it a little and mix it with a deep conditioner I already have? I'm afraid my hair will be super oily if I dont use it right.

Re: I need an easy shea butter recipe
Here is an easy recipe for whipped shea butter. You could just melt a bit and mix it in a deep conditioner, but raw shea is so hard in its natural state. I find whipped shea easier to add to other stuff and use. You can use the whipped shea on your skin too. You can use it lightly in your hair, for your cuticles, feet, and if you want to mix it with something else, the whipped shea is right there.

What about a recipe for making a body butter? I can't seem to get the shea to work with my hair. Looks all ashy...

Simple mix
You can melt shea butter and (olive,sweet almond or jojoba oil, in a double boiler, pour in a bowl, let cool then whip until creamy, then add in a few drops of essential oil such as tea tree or lavender. I hope this helps.
You will have to play around withthe measurements to get the consistency you want- Oh and you can also include glycerine or castor oil.

Here's a super easy recipe. I get some raw shea butter, a little bit of coconut oil and a few drops of essential oil to mask the smell and whip it up until it loos like cake frosting. I then let it sit or hardnen in te fridge for a few hours and thats it.. Works well as a moisturizer and makes my hair super soft. Use it as a pretreatment also.

After I melt it down I mix it with different oils and water. I use it to twist and on my body.
