Shea Butter!

I love, love, love this mix. I got it from Oooop2, a curly on this forum.

3 tablespoons shea butter
1 tablespoon castor oil
1 tablespoon EVOO
1 tablespoon EVCO

I use it on my two and three strand twist...Here's a pic of my latest set of twist using the mix

wow your twist look great! , thanks for sharing this and the mixture is really simple!

Thanks. If you hair loves oils and butters like Roxie (my hair's name) does, then this mix is a winner!

I hear everyone talking about Shea Butter all the time so I finally went to get some for my DD and I can not stand the smell! Even when I mixed it with coconut oil it was so smelly to me. Do you think if I mixed other oils in it it would smell better?

I love to mix lemongrass essential oil with my shea butter. Hubby says my hair smells like lemon cake. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I love the smell of shea butter

i was going to mix up the whole thing but i decided to do what you did and use 2 scoops , so happy i did cause now i can have more to try it with different stuff.

I mixed mines with

2 scoops of shea butter
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of coconut oil

a squirt of aloe vera gel
a squirt of kinky curly knot today

& wow my hair has never been this shiny and moisturized in my life , the only problem i had was it was a bit clumpy =|

if you want it to be totally clump free you can melt it out (mostly or all the way), or (if you don't already) you can whip it with a hand mixer. I whipped mine for a good ten minutes last time (without melting) and it looks like cream cheese frosting

-8 ounces shea butter
-3tbsp coconut oil
-2tbsp aloe vera gel
-10-20 drops of tangerine oil

I love my shea mixture!

Includes:
Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Honey
Aloe Vera Gel
A light conditioner, like Suave or Hello Hydration
15 drops of lemongrass EO

Youtube has tons of different mixtures for whipped shea butter. You just put your own spin on it for you!

thanks ladies , ill try to whip it up so it won't be clumpy
& adding honey sounds interesting

my hair loves butters its 4b 4c , im thinking about trying mango butter or cocoa butter in the future

My shea mixture has shea butter, coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, avocado oil, rosemary essential oil, lemongrass essential oil. I made it such a long time ago. I can't remember the exact amounts.

My mixture is about the same as Ms. Fenty. I love love love it (*touching hair right now*). I usually melt the shea butter (not all the way) then mix the other ingredients. If it gets too liquidy I just stick it in the refrigerator.

however many scoops of shea butter im feeling like adding
1 tblsp olive oil
1 tblsp coconut oil
1 tblsp glycerin
1 tblsp africas best oil
1 good squirt of hello hydration

and i might be the only one, but i LOVE how my shea butter smells (even pre-addition of the oils). i delight in moments when i move my head really fast and catch a whiff of it in my hair....oh bubbles and sunshine, good time feelings!!! lol

I find that when my shea butter is a little on the harder side I mix it with my food processor.. Here is my mix

Shea Butter
Aloe Butter
Coconut Oil
Honey
Aloe Vera Juice
Avocado Oil

Last batch I made I melted my Shea butter down and then when it was ready it was right back hard again so I plan to put that in my food processor and add some more coconut oil to it or hemp seed oil.

I bought a tub of shea butter last summer and i have half a tube left because i Whipped it up and it went a long way.

My Mix shea butter
Vege Glycerine
MSM Powder
Castor oil
Aloe Vera Juice
My hair is way to soft and moisturize sometimes.
