Since I've been wearing 2 pig tails as a protective hairstyle I haven't applied my daily Shea Butter mix to the hair shaft, but only to my edges and roots. Meanwhile, my ends are wrapped in saran wrap. Surprisingly, this protective style has lasted me 4 days and hopefully 2 more to go before wash day.

Added melted shea butter to some Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque for my deep conditioner and putting on my Hot Head.

Used kinky kashmere as a leave in and Valanalana whipped shea butter. So in love with this combo.

Even though I've somewhat neglected my hair this past week by not putting my Shea Butter on it daily; I did, however, kept it in a protective hairstyle all week. My hair has yet to be washed and doesn't look too bad. So, 2 more days 'til school is out for work & Grad School. Looks like Friday is hair day.

I've been experiencing breakage. I'm trying to determine whether it's from protein overload or raw Shea butter. I'm going to take a break from the raw Shea until I figure something out.
I'm going to clarify and deep condition tonight.

I'm totally in! My newly found regimen uses shea butter for sealing. But does anyone know where I can find decently priced cold pressed organic shea butter? I am currently using Terressentials' but I can only get 4oz for $16 and I go through that pretty quickly

Bunnyhaslonghair,
I have been having breakage for a while now as well. I welcomed this challenge because I felt that the shea would help protect my hair. However, I continued to have problems. I thought that it was heavy shedding until a week ago, when I realized that I was seeing short broken hairs in the sink.
I moisturize and seal twice a day , so my hair should be moisturized at all time, but it was still feeling dry and snapping. So, i decided to cut back on my protein by discontinuing using Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructorizing spray. I was only using the spray once a week, so when I washed my hair Saturday, I didn't use it. The results were almost instantaneous. My breakage has stopped. My hair feels better- softer, moister, there is less snapping.
All of this is to say that protein may be the problem. If you can easily discontinue a protein product, I would recommend that to see if it does make a difference.
Meantime, I'm continuing to use Shea Moisture JBC leave in.

Pennefeather, I have been doing some reading and I'm hoping the protein in my reggie is the problem. I can fix that. Tonight I went to Sally's and bought some products with little to no identifying protein ingredients. The thing is, I didn't think I was using strong proteins in my reggie in the first place which leads me to question the Shea butter. I did recently do an aphogee 2 two step. So maybe that along with moisturizing with mild proteins daily pushed me over the edge. I'm crossing my fingers hoping these product changes stop my breakage.

I washed my hair a few days ago and did a henna treatment as well. My hair was little dry after, but I layered my DC on top of shea butter (and a bit of mango butter) which brought back the softness. Really enjoy doing my DCs this way and will continue on in the future.
After applying my leave-ins, I twisted my hair up with my shea butter mix, which now includes both castor and olive oils. My hair is very happy.

Thanks so much! These prices are great, a pound of shea-butter and shipping is still cheaper than what I pay now. Excited to try them out.

Washed my hair yesterday, applied shea butter mixture heavily to my ends. I don't mind the weight on my hair since my hair is in a bun.

After washing and DCing last night I set my hair and sealed my ends with my shea butter mix (have to whip a new batch). I will be bunning my hair during this cold spell.
