Awww, it happens lol. That’s why I cut my hair.Hi everyone I’m sorry I got my haircut short again because I’m lazy!
I made mine into a body scrub by grinding them down via blender
great idea I have three bottles sitting there collecting dustMade a new (and small) batch of the ayurvedic shea last night. This time I put in a silicone squeeze bottle I got from Target. Now I can use it in the shower w/o worrying about contamination.
I don't know what I did differently with this latest mix, but it's really dense, like frosting that's been left in the fridge. Usually I just whip everything together without melting it. This time I melted the butters then added the oils and put it in the fridge for a bit before I whipped it. Maybe I didn't whip it enough? My hand was hurting so I didn't do it for very long.
Yeah, should I use something different?Are you using a wire whisk?

I used the whisk attachment of an electric mixer but by hand because I was too lazy to get out the whole mixer.Are you using an electric one or a hand mixer?

or what about an imersion blender. They're small and i think cheap... @ElevatedEnergy recommended one that was pretty cheap.I used the whisk attachment of an electric mixer but by hand because I was too lazy to get out the whole mixer.

I have both but I have never used the stand mixer for Shea butter. Thanks for the suggestion! I will try it out.I see in your post you have a "whole mixer". Does that mean a standing mixer? If so, I'd use that next time.
Also, my braids are so much longer now. I'm not sure if they are just elongated from all this Shea Butter or if my hair is going through a growth spurt. I'm really excited about my fall length check. I may be able to call Classic sooner than I expected.
