Glad you tried the Double-B method and had good results doing this.:up: I have some powders. I may make a couple with Powders to see how it turns out.

I'll prolly just stick in the freezer for about an hour.

Not sure what Powder(s) I'll use? I have: Amla, Bramhi, Tulsi and Kalpi-Tone oh and some Rose Powder. It will probably be Amla or Brahmi. Those two seem to be the one(s) I am most familiar with.

I want to get some Brahmi and rose powder. I also want to get some ylang ylange essential oil. I'm chomping at the Unicorn bit, wondering if the beauty supply is open tomorrow so I can go and get me some more Indian powders to copy off @ThatJerseyGirl !

All y’all get on my nerves. I just ordered whipped shea butter with olive oil and I’m poking around on Kindred Butters site. I’m not about that mixtress life so I bought two moisturizers I’ve used and loved in the past (bekura Honey Latte and Hairveda Whipped Creme) to help out. I’ll see what this shea butter thing is all about. Back into lurk mode...

I have my hair drying in chunky twists right now (today was wash day). I used the Shea Mix that I made yesterday as my butter. My hair feels and smells heavenly.

When I add scent to my shea mix, it's like I'm pouring it down a black hole. It NEVER keeps the scent. Except for when I use 1 specific essential oil, which name escapes me at the moment...

Just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE this thread and have been lurking from the beginning. I started using Shea Butter a few months back when I read the rave reviews from the long hair unicorns and have been hooked ever since. I have more on the way and can’t wait to play with the blend to see what I can get. Thank you for all the wonderful information

Okay..so it was @BlessedXs2 who first called the unicorns into this thread, eh? :eyebrows2::grinwink::grin:

Anybody getting build-up with shea butter? Are you using your regular shampoos to cleanse your hair or does the hair require something different to wash out the butter?

My shea mix comes out with regular baby wash. So far, no buildup.

I prefer to apply shea butter on dry hair.

I hate the feel of too much product on my hair?

Am I the only one who feels that way lol?

My favorite hair is right after I wash it. When it gets too oily, yuck!

I think I should just apply shea to my ends or just before I wash as a prepoo.

I added a ridiculous amount of fragrance to my mix by accident (I didn't realize that it was just an "open" top instead of a dropper-type top when I turned it upside down.... :look:). Like, I was planning to add a few drops and poured in 1/3 of the bottle. I was a little scared, but decided to leave it since it wasn't an essential oil. It ended up being a good thing. The amount of scent is perfect.

On the hair. I ordered some to mix with my henna, trynna recreate the burgundy color you see in my avvy (obtained through pre-mixed Surya brand henna cream on relaxed hair, good product).

NERP!!!!!!

That's cute on you, but not on me.

I'm glad this was mentioned. I was going to get some rose and some of the hibiscus, too. I don't want ANY color on my hair. I like my plain, jet black, hair. I had no idea that hibiscus and rose color the hair.

Have not had any noticeable problem(s) with Build-Up.

I decided to ask the group if they got buildup because I saw this article yesterday:

7 REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO STOP USING COCONUT OIL & SHEA BUTTER ON YOUR HAIR

https://blackdoctor.org/470909/7-reasons-to-stop-using-coconut-oil-and-shea-butter-on-your-hair/

  1. They're heavy
  2. They lead to dry hair
  3. They cause frizz
  4. They do not moisturize the hair
  5. You're using way too much
  6. They're not water soluble
  7. They cause buildup

Yep! The day after I apply it to my dry hair, it's soft to the touch, not greasy and gleams in the light. I also use it as a sealant during wash day, but for follow up it's going on dry. So far, so good!
