@Chicoro I Just wanted to take a moment to say that you are the best thread host I've ever seen! :lol:

Also, I relaxed on Friday but I'm still using my Shea butter mix daily. I'm bunning so I dab some on my edges and ends and slick it all back. So soft and shiny! :cool2:

My hair is naturally coarse and dry. I've finally found a natural moisturizer that works for me! Relaxed heads that lurk in here...... don't sleep on Shea butta baby!

I second the bold italicized! :toocool:

@sunnieb - would you share the name of the natural moisturizer?

I'll take that compliment and thank you, too!

Was your relaxing experience different this time around, due to the use of Shea butter? Or, you didn't really notice too much of a difference?

I haven't used Shea butter long enough to see the difference just yet. I'll know by my next relaxer though since I'll have used it everyday.

However, I'm out here converting my natural family and friends to the Shea butter club. I've shared my mix and the ladies love it! :) I only share a little to get them hooked. Then, I'll share the recipe so they can make their own and join in the fun!

I washed 7 days ago and skipped the deep conditioner. I applied sta-sof-fro and Shea butter. My hair is still so soft and tangle free. I am 16 weeks post and it doesn't feel like it. My new growth is soft and manageable.
Since I added Shea butter, I have sincerely seen more length retention than any other time. My regimen is simple too.

I’m glad our words could bring you a little happiness. I don’t know what you must be going through right now but I can sense how much pain you’re in just by reading your words. Sending you a virtual hug. :bighug:If you choose to make a thread about it I’ll go in there. Otherwise know how much we all love you and have your back if needed.

I'm late to the party but I'm here! I realized that I have a terrible time moisturizing and getting to my scalp when my hair is in its natural state. My plan of action is to straighten every two weeks ( I have never gone this long between washes before.) and to lightly coat my entire head with shea butter mix and braid down at night. In the mornings put monoi de tahiti on my hands to take down the french braids. Sulfur oil on my scalp nightly as well either CP oil or Njoy oil.

It's never too late.

I've been super busy. Ended up getting my hair twisted in an up-do a few weeks ago, took it down over the weekend. I spritzed with water and slathered the twists with shea about every other night. When I took the twists down my hair was super soft and shiny and the shed hair literally slipped out. No knots or tangles. AMAZING

Never got a chance to make my own mixes but my Mother heard my cry and sent me enough of her shea mix to get me through mid-May. I should be in a better place at that point and can get to mixing myself - finally! Congrats to all of the new Unicorns. Big hugs to everyone going through something.

Keep shea sliding ladies :toocool:

Three (3) Shea-Made Hair Unicorns in one day! Amazing. But, we're talking about hair unicorns, so it is to be expected.






I think we are going to need a bigger venue for the
Shea-Made Unicorn Hair Hall of Fame Extravaganza!

Let's Go, Unicorns!
8+ Months
to go!​
