Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[IDareT'sHair]

*gets up and start jumpin around and wavin my hands like the church mothers do*
*sits down and fan myself with my popsicle church fan...u know da one...with MLK on the front and Pope Funeral Home on the other side*
*starts hummin an ole spiritual*.....

@ThatJerseyGirl
After gettin' Mother-Blessed a Glass of Wata' and a Peppermint Life-Saver, after she done stepped on everybody's feet in her pew getting her shout on, Pastor calls Mother-Blessed up to the Pulpit to leave her two hour Shea Butter testimony....

Another Usher hands her another Fan after she broke the MLK one tryna' fan & beat her tambarine at the same time - this one with JFK, RFK and MLK on the Front.

Mother-Blessed gives a shout out to Popes Funeral Home for their nice Selection of Fans!

After two hours and 13 babies cryin' at the same time, the Choir stands up and sings Mother-Blessed down and back to her seat.

My Colleague is back from Nig.eria and called me this a.m. to tell me he had my SB. I also asked him to try to find me some Chebe - I guess he disregarded that request cause he only mentioned SB.

He probably thought - "No this PJ ain't 'bout to have me on the plane with 50-11 hair products!"

He's going back in a few weeks - I'll have him get me Chebe on that trip (if I can explain to him what it is?)
I wonder what they call it in Ni.geria?

My bulk shipment of shea butter and black soap arrived yesterday!!! We are snowed in and I'm about to whip up a hair mix and a body butter.

You got snowed in too??? Lol We just got snowed in and I'm going to be whipping up a few butters with my extra time....

Shea butter update...
I've been using ABP hair and body shea butter and I am in love with stuff. I lost a lot of hair due to tangling and being impatient with trying to get them out. I can only finger detangle because running a comb or brush through it would take every strand on my head. I see a big difference now the sheabutter helps to stretch my tight coils and keeps it it from doing this..

Which Ayurvedic powders/oils do NOT deposit color? I don't want to mess with my blonde highlights. @ThatJerseyGirl @Chicoro

 

[ThatJerseyGirl]

@sgold04 -- I'm not sure as I do not have any highlights.

I'll defer to @Chicoro.

I don't want to give out the wrong information, however, I do know that HENNA will leave color deposits and your hair will be a bright orange/brassy color, which I KNOW you do no want.

Henna for sure. I only use henna on my glosses and oil. Anything else, I use cassia. Hibiscus powder also deposit colors but that's temporary. I'm still not messing with it. I bought a $2 bag to test. I won't be adding it to my regi.

Try brahmi, bhringraj, neem, shikakai, tulsi, triphala, aloe Vera powder, moringa powder, and rose petal powder.

And oh if you can get your hands on some calendula and chamomile powder that would be great for your highlights as well. These powders are not considered ayurveda but they are awesome for hair growth and blonde highlights.

@Aggie Have you ever used moringa powder on your hair, and how? I take it in a tea but I've never used it topically.

Thank you!!

 

[Chicoro]

I'm in

This may be just what the doctor ordered. I've stalled on retaining length and my ends are super dry. I colored 6 months ago (blonde+chocolate mix)--overall minimal issues, but lately I have been neglecting my moisture

I am inspired to shoot for waist length again. I'll measure tomorrow.

Shea let's you think YOU chose 'to be in'.
Once you in, it's FOREVER. ​

It's like the Hotel California, you can never leave.​

Wait!

I thought rose petal powder and hibiscus both deposit color?

 

[Aggie]

I have it in my stash but haven't used it yet. I plan to use it the same way I use my ayurveda powders plus I plan to infuse some and make my own moringa oil with fractionated coconut oil. A moringa shea butter is sounding pretty good to me too but this one will be mixed in my deep conditioner as a treatment along with aloe vera powder.

I was told to NEVER accept candy from old people because the candy has probably been at the BOTTOM of their purse for a long, long time, covered in lint. I see this is not an Urban Legend as you have cited an example, textbook I might add, that supports this.

Carry on. Shea on!

Nope. Not on my hair. It just smells wonderful

 

[mzteaze]

The powders that we purchase from the Indian Grocers or the powders that CP purchases?

The stuff sold under her line of products by Belle Bar.

 

[NappyNelle]

Massaged NW21 into my scalp and spritzed some on my length. Slathered on the Shea, concentrating on my ends. I'll be bunning again tomorrow.

@ThatJerseyGirl
Or it's so "old" it's now "chewy" instead of a hard mint.

Gurl...don't let Mutha'Blessed dunk your head in the Baptismal Pool and break that Shea Butta' Blend outta her purse. She got it wrapped in plastic wrap with a rubber band around it, in a grocery bag.

She prolly got some good recipes too. With some Prayer Oil (EVOO) added it in and had the Growing Hands Sistas' lay hands on & pray.

 

[TopShelf]

sprayed my ends with water and put my shea butter mix on the ends. Then sprayed my braids and put my castor oil on the roots

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

I can't wait to see your creations!!

@victory777 The rose molds turned out to be a hit. Good, sturdy and holds around 4 ounces per cavity. My soaps just slid right out.

I'm still here, still shea sliding. Just putting my life back together after a whirlwind visit from my niece. I realize how old and tired I am whenever she comes.

I'm 'bout done with my SB blend, but I liked it so I think I'll just add more ingredients instead of re-formulating. And work on the texture, cuz this round was a bit grainy (but that wasn't my focus). So... shea butter, broccoli butter, mahabhringraj oil.... and what else? What are yalls fave ayurvedic powders to add and why?

Oan, which eo's are good for hair, not the scalp, the actual length of hair?

Eucalyptus is a good one too. Ceramides on steroids. @Honey Bee

As a child...after sitting in service for a billion hours with a growling stomach, I accepted some mints from the mother of our church. You know the little sugar squares that melt upon contact?! I was tearing them joints up...lint and all. She had them loose in a little pouch and I was killing them. And then...I hit a moth ball.

What is that delicious brownie or cake looking thing to the left of the pretty rose moulds? I see even your soap moulds are doing the Shea slide! Your soaps are just sliding on out the moulds!
