I just twisted my hair up it took a little over an hour. I used tgin leave in and a Shea butter mix I made a couple of weeks ago. Mix included Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil and orange oil. I didn't measure anything.
I'm heavy handed so I may have used to much my twists are white I hope they don't stay white. Good thing I'm off tomorrow. I hope to keep these twists in for at least a week. I hope they are decent enough to wear out.9D922CD4-02A2-4395-80DD-94688F2BC986.jpeg7069111C-D179-4FA2-AA3E-9EA469079633.jpegF3588EF1-9A95-414F-B2C5-2FC5ADFE4881.jpeg72A956E1-FE1E-448E-8696-3C008F942D76.jpeg

ETA- I used the double broiler method and left it in the fridge for about 3 hours. I whipped it for 7 minutes or so and afterwards I use a seive like the lady did in one of the videos posted in this thread. End result is very creamy which I love.

THIS LOOKS GOODT!!!!!! Your hair is going to thank you. The recipe looks delicious!!! You sound like me in that I do not measure either. I just eye ball it. Are you going to two strand twist your hair and apply your mix? Will you use it on your scalp also because I use my mixture on my scalp and use my growth oil on alternating days.

Yeah, Imma stick to Hair/Body Buttas'.

Highly doubtful if I'd ever venture into DC'ers, Soaps, Pomades/Grease etc.....:nono:

That's above my Pay Grade.:spinning:

I was thinking the same thing, however, I'd love to make my own African Black soap shampoo. I've been watching youtube videos, so I'll only make enough for a washing. It's very easy to do. Melt the black soap down and add some oils. That's it from what I can tell.

I will tell you this. I will NEVER purchase another leave in again. The shea mix is really all that I need.

Girl, that jar is the one I got from Spranz that came with that detangler Lol.

I bought the fragrance oils from Amazon. They’re pretty good quality. So far I love the Snickerdoodle and Cupcake :2inlove:

I forgot to mention that I have that same type of jar, but I got them at Big Lots and the dollar stores. They have them and they are not expensive at all. Plus, it seals in all of the goodness and doesn't allow for air or anything get into them. I love those jars. Dollar General and Family Dollar carry them in my area.

Thank you. So far it melts into my hair :2inlove:
Yes, I will be applying it to my two strand twists. I don’t plan on using it on my scalp since I didn’t add any essential oils to it. I do have my CP oil though that I use on and off.

@trueheartofgold -- pls tell me that you also used a coupon and got it for like half? OMG.....I have a new found love for argan oil. Argan, coconut oil and some shea mix among other oils, that is a winning combo for dry ends. No one in this thread should have dry ends if using shea mix.

@IDareT'sHair - do you only mix enough to use when you are doing your hair regi? Your recipe sounds delicious too!

I'm in the process of making more shea mix.....i think it's almost an addiction. I want to add Illipe butter to my stash. I already have Kokum, Mango and Cupuacu. Very moisturizing when combined....

YASSSS!!! Shea has got me, been had me. My name is ThatJerseyGirl, and I am addicted to Shea lololol.....my new creamy crack!

I can't wait to remove my install at the end of this month. I could remove it now, but it's cold and it is serving its purpose of keeping my head warm lololol....

And let me just say that I have a TON of new growth, thanks to that ayurvedic growth oil with the fenugreek. My new growth is soft, moisturized and very thick. I can''t wait!!!

After my first use of whipped SB, I think I want a batch with Chebe. I'll wait a free weeks to introduce Chebe. I don't like to introduce too many products at once. I started with CP tea last week, I don't think I have the desired result. Need to tweak application and recipe.

Coily-how did you get that 'airy' whipped texture?
Click to expand...
I used my electric mixer and it came out creamy looking at first. I poured it into the container closed it up and put it on the shelf because I wanted a fluffier consistency. I was just going to use it on my skin since it came out creamy. I planned to get an electric wisk as suggested. I decided to use it for my hair regardless of the texture last night because I hadn't gotten the wisk yet and I was surprised by the fluffy texture. When I mixed it I mixed it for like 15 minutes so maybe the got enough air in it to make the fluffy consistency.
