Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[flyygirlll2]

Well I just finished making my first henna/SB mix .

I didn’t measure anything. Just eyeballed it.
Mix includes:

Shea Butter
Mango Butter
Henna
Bringraj
Fenugreek
Haitian Black Castor Oil
Hibiscus
Black Seed Oil
Grape Seed Oil
Safflower Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Vitamin E Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Broccoli Seed Oil
Hempseed Oil

* Added Snickerdoodle fragrance oil which reminds me of Hairveda’s Vatika Frosting *





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.

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

You went in that kitchen and got busy!

I thought about experimenting with some "other butters" but I wanna be able to effectively evaluate SB (on its own).

I did buy some Baobab Oil and some Camellia Oil and will make some blends with these.

@flyygirlll2
For my Butters - Specifically SB-based ones I'll probably never buy another on-line one unless somebody is specializing in Unicorn Tears or Fairy Wings or something.

Especially when we've been able to "capture the magic"

And I maintain half the ones I've whipped up are just as good (if not better)

I’ll see how this first mix goes and go from there. I have both of these oils as well. I’ll have to do a more simpler mix next time. I went off on the oils today

This. Now that I’ve done it myself, I don’t really feel the need to purchase another one unless I get very lazy.

I was thinking about doing that too. I definitely want to grab more fragrance oils. I can see this becoming addictive

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
It is.

Especially since they turn out so well. I haven't made a bad batch yet.

Even the ones I mixed with Ayurvedic Powders have all turned out good too!

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I enjoyed the process and love the end result. Since I’m off tomorrow, I might wash my hair and just use my SB mix.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
Yep. It's Easy-Peasy!

I am really enjoying whipping them up too!

No Shipping Costs, No Wait Time. So far....No inconsistencies.

ETA: Looking at & buying F.ra.grance Oils can be a little "addictive too"

Truth.com for real.

It is lol. I love bakery scents but I want try other ones.

@flyygirlll2
Do you think you're going to like all the scents that came in your collection?

I made a mock cart with: Marshmallow, Cupcake, Cotton Candy, Sugar Cookie (just looking around).

Well so far none of the scents make me want to so that’s a good sign .

I like Snickerdoodle, Cupcake, Sugar Cookie, and Pumpkin Pie the most right now. Ooooo Cotton Candy and Marshmallow sounds good

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2
Yeah, they have some nice scents. Thanks for sharing that.

More Options other than Bulk-A and/or Pip.ing Ro.ck.

You’re welcome . I still want to try some from BA but since I have Amazon Prime and wanted something sooner, I pulled the trigger.

My Shea mix is whipped. It only took a little bit over an hour to harden. The only grainy feeling I get is from the hibiscus powder. I melted it, mix all the ingredients, put it in the fridge for an hour, then whip it. At first I was afraid I put too much power because the mixture looked dark. It lighten up after I whipped it. My only regret is forgetting to add castor oil and not having fenugreek puree on hand. My hair likes both.

My mix:
infused CP oil
Cassia powder
Amla powder
Brahmi power
few drops of Rosemary and tea tree oils
Hibiscus powder

Even with everything I've purchased so far, (butters, mixer, fragrance oils) it's still much "Cheaper" than what I would have spent on buying a couple Pre-Mix SB Blends (with shipping, size etc....)

True. That’s one of the benefits to doing this yourself. Once I venture into doing body butters ect. You won’t be able to tell me nothing

@flyygirlll2
Yeah, Imma stick to Hair/Body Buttas'.

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

That's above my Pay Grade.
