Ok so this is what I got going on.
I used Orapex #3. I got busy and for got it on my hair for about an hour. I rinsed it off and since today is my pamper ME day I went into the freezer and got out 2 henna bars and 1 Oat milk bar. (My my my "smh") I heated it up into a creamy mix. Then I added Tresemme Natural to my mix to make it sort of a conditioner. Baby I started to add this to my hair in 4 sections. Before I got through with the first section my hair was smooth, and my strands were clumping together like a perfect wash and go. Smh I mean I love my hair. There's no tangles at all. Not even when I took down my twist. Not after the Oraplex Not never. My hair has been sooo moisturized. Now I am just sitting here for the next hour or so with a head full of henna and it just makes me smile. Even though I'm tired and I still need to rinse and deep condition tonight.... But can I just say I LOVE MY FREAKIN HAIR. SHEA IS BAE FOR LIFE!!! (I know I'm a bit extra but yall have no idea how long its been that my hair has looked and felt this good).

So how did you like the oat milk treatment? When you were making it, did you feel the slippery mucilage on your hands?

Welp....just getting back online after losing my sister...hardest thing to deal with. I had to go to a local salon before her services for a quick flat twist updo as I didn't trust anyone straightening my hair. I think I still had a setback as I saw lots of hair on the floor.

I plan to take this style out by the end of the week and love on my hair. Just ordered the hot head cap to help with deep conditioning.

My deepest condolences for you and your family.

Are you on the Shea train, yet?

Or, are you going to be like me after being on LHCF for years saying,

" I could have been a contender."


Don't miss out! Join the LHCF Shea Butter Crew! What crew is that:

Shea-Made Hair Unicorns 2018 Hall of Fame!!!!!

We users of Shea butter have more in common with these women then on might realize.



So, the question begs:

Are you going to be attending
the Shea-Made Hair Unicorns 2018 Hall of Fame Extravaganza in December 2018?




Or, will you be ending your year yet again, like this:



Hop on board! Because we don't want you to be screaming in frustration about what could

Because if not, you may become just another hater.



So...Let's get greasy,

Thanks, @ElevatedEnergy and @Chicoro.

That's what the hair dresser said. The fly aways first showed up after I used a steamer straightening brush. I'd never seen them before that and was like

:eek:

:thud:

:cry3:.

I won't worry about them, especially since lots of people have them.

I often hear people talking about how much hair sheds. We often forget that those follicles that shed the hair will push out new hair. Of course the hair will initially be short "looking like fly aways" but it will continue to grow and flourish as we treat it with the same love as the rest of our hair.

My oldest daughter was starting to get some dark dry marks on the top of her hands (she has eczema). Her usual medicated cream just didn't seem to be working so I made a body butter for her and my twins. I used shea butter, cinnamon, coconut oil and vanilla extract. 2 to 3 days later those dark marks were gone! Now I can save some money on creams by making my own.

Ooo! What does cinnamon do?

I loved the Oat milk! It had great slip and it made the henna more full and fluffy. I mean it was still thick but richer. If that makes any sense at all!
Click to expand...

So glad you loved it! I swear that oat milk treatment put every conditioner in my cabinet to shame. (I threw them all away after my first treatment LOL) The moisture and slip is just ridiculous...and then adding more slippery Shea butter?! Slip & Moisture on steroids!

So mixing it with henna works good too? I'm due for a henna treatment next month. So did you mix the henna with water first and then add the oat milk? Or did you just mix the oat milk and henna? Tell me more!

I think there is a better if used by time frame and an assumption that you are going to probably use up the product within 2 years. If not, you'll probably throw it out. But really, I don't know.

Interesting, though! Thank you for posting that information and example!

Thanks ladies for your condolences... she is safe in His arms. I will definitely look into B-complex vitamins @Chicoro.

I used my African black soap shampoo on my daughter along with my Shea butter mix to style her hair in ponytails. They are so cute and moisturized! Can't wait to do my twists!

B-complex Stress Formula. It's not the same as B-complex.

:yep: I can attest to this. I used the SB I mixed on Saturday for a friend's eczema on my left thigh that has dry keratosis pilaris just above the knee and can I tell you, this morning, that patch is greatly diminished. I am very happy with the many benefits of shea butter. Now I want to use it all over my body. Time to get to mixin' some other concoctions with this stuff.

I got an inch cut off my hair this morning and will be having another 1 inch trim in 8 weeks. I sure hope this SB helps to get my ends on track.

I have been using the comb to detangle and my new stylist told me to use my fingers as much as possible to do so.

Thing is I hate detangling with my fingers but I have to at least try this time around :sad:. How do you ladies do it? It is so laborious.

My Hors.etail Oil and my Gin.ger Root Oil 'should' be here tomorrow.

If it arrives, I will make a small batch of each using either Matcha Gr.een Tea Powder or Che.be Powder. Or maybe x1 blend with one of each of the powders and each of the oils.

I have: Emu, Li.cor.ice Root, Apricot Kernel Oil(s) on the way for my SB Blends.

Yes, it works well with the henna. I just melted the bars of henna x2 and when they were almost melted I added the frozen Oat milk bar x1 and melted them together. It was very smooth. Once it was all melted I added just a little conditioner (2 tbl spoons) mixed well and put out on my hair. Left it in for about 2 hours. The results were amazing!

This is the BEST long video [documentary] I have EVER seen on Shea Butter! It is EXCELLENT!

One more. You get to see the tree bark of the Shea Butter tree, up close and personal! Her grandmother has a Shea Butter tree farm. Her grandmother appears with her @18:00 minutes.



https://www.hamamat.com
Her business and website is above.

This woman...she's very elegant and pretty. Her skin is very beautiful, too.

It is so good to see an Ghanaian woman controlling the end product, a final product, made from Shea Butter. She is creating wealth for herself.

Hair Bonus: Check out the gorgeous little girl with her hair threaded. She's so cute. She appears at around minute 12:00, in the video.
