Sounds super moisturizing. Do you add any essential oils to it?

I wanted to drop into this thread for a moment to share two things.
- First, I want to exonerate Queen Shea. I had lots of problems with clogged pipes and in retrospect, I erroneously blamed it on Queen Shea, thinking she had plugged my pipes. I put a strainer over my kitchen sink. It turns out almost every night I have a tablespoon of food particles that have been caught that I throw in the trash. The culprit was the food in my sink, not Shea butter. So, I wanted to give her a public apology.
- The second thing is that I am hitting 26 inches in length on my braids in the crown area. It's still just strands. But I always say two things. I count strands. And, if one strand can get there, so can the rest.

This is why I love this place. For some reason, I never figured that shea butter + aloe would be combinable. When I ran a search, tons of information popped up on it. Even though, I'm going to look for it ready-made, @curly.123, I'm glad you're learning how to make and mix your shea!

If you have fine hair, I would just place it on your ends. Otherwise, it’s a go!

My hair was getting a bit dull every time I applied my whipped shea butter. It took me a while to understand, as hair would get nourished with shea butter, right? The thing is, I whipped my shea butter with ayurvedic oils and it is a bit too much! It is too strenghtening as I also use henna once a month, I ll stop using my whipped shea butter for a while until my hair feels better. From today on, I'm gonna seakl my hair with cocoa butter

No, they've just been out of stock for a while. The Benin shea I think is supposed to restock this week but no ETA on nilotica.

I’m taking a break from queen shea. I love what she does for my hair but I’m fairly sure that full length application isn’t that good for my high porosity hair... I started noticing that I couldn’t really moisturize my hair midweek because it seals future moisture out as well as it sealed any in. So for now, I’m going to focus her just on my very ends.
