Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

Ya'll are being 'touched' by Queen Shea.

[Chicoro]

Thanks @NicWhite and @Chicoro for your responses. I think for now it is best I clarify my hair and eliminate Shea butter application for now. I have faithfully used it for years on my skin with great results and will continue to do so.

Let us know how things turn out for you, @Lissa0821 !

 

[Chicoro]

These Church .gif's entertain me, @Chicoro ! lololol...

see, the lady the bottom... I can tell just by looking at her that her Sunday dinner is ready. In fact, her dinner was ready before she got dressed for church. Collards are on top of the stove, done. The roasted chicken sittin on top of the stove in an aluminum pan with that foil covering it and the foil is stretched tight too! Not a single wrinkle in that foil and you better not go in the kitchen and lift it up lololol..... As soon as she leaves church at 4:00 and head home, dinner will be served..lololol Ole Passa will be at her house for dinner around 6....lolol

Those elders in the church don't play when it comes to their Sunday dinner. They start cooking that dinner on Saturday.

This is what I miss about being away from home. The other things I would mention would be the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream and the sweet tea. That would make it complete for me. Great visual. I can see, smell, feel and taste it.

Received a Partial Refund on that Funk Butta' I bought.

No Shade to UFD.

This is more like Great-Great-Great-Grandma Funka'.

I have left the bag open to see if the Cow Caca scent finally lessens.

5lb of pure unadulterated funk. And no amount of EO will cover it up.

That scent bleeds through everything.

Where did you get it from? I just want to know so I can stay clear of the seller.

 

[Chicoro]

OMG!! @Chicoro - I haven't had such a great laugh in sooooo long!!!


But I can't lie - 50 pounds of Shea Butter says it all!!! I've been gotten, my DGD,my daughter, niece, great niece, sister - heck , the entire family including extended family have all been gotten by that "buttery creamy crack".

Girl ... Shea got her own kitchen, fully equipped with it's own mixer, measuring cup, spatulas, spoons, bowls and measuring spoons. I don't play with my Shea!

I didn't mention it in the other thread - but I'm starting to break out in nervous hives as I think my "Shea Stock" is running low - I only have about 15 pounds left what if I run out?? Oh no - can't do than, hmmm??? I know this summer I'll order 50/50 .

Glad I could oblige you with a laugh, My Lady! Shea has her own kitchen you say?

Are you going to order 50 pounds or 100 pounds this summer? If so, maybe
@ElevatedEnergy can hook you up with her 'buyer' in Ghana!

Hi.


Wash day was the best today because of Shea Butter.

After DCing my hair melted into its own parts without me having to meticulously part it piece by piece to do my air dry twists.

My hair felt extremely soft. EXTREMELY soft. NO SHED HAIRS AFTER WASHING HUH??? joyously laughing.

This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship . .

Just wow.

How's it on your pockets? Like you, I prefer things I can get easily and cheaply. How did you use Shea? As part of your deep conditioner or some other way?

Was it someone you ordered from before?

 

[Aggie]

@IDareT'sHair please give us the name the eBay seller you got your Shea butter from so we can all stay clear of ordering from them.

 

[LivingInPeace]

I didn’t use my cocoa butter yet. Instead this morning I whipped Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, grape seed oil, dark chocolate, buttercream and sandalwood vanilla fragrance oils.

 

[bjade757]

Anyone with Relaxed hair had good experiences with these Shea butter mixtures? I really want a light fluffy in scented creme to moisturize my edges and ends.

I'm relaxed and I'm having really good results with my mix. SB, lavender essential oil (10 or so drops), rosemary essential oil (10 or so drops), and a little bit of jojoba. Whip until fluffy!

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

My hair has been in a braid out textured bun for the last 5 or so days...of course it was Shea'd up prior to being tucked away. Took the bun down this morning with the intention of starting wash day and my hair still felt amazing. My roots were a little dry so instead of washing, I sprayed my roots with rose water and applied some whipped Shea butter on top of that. Pulled hair back in a two twisted ponytails and repeated the steps on the ends. Roots back to feeling quenched and lubricated like the rest of my hair. Queen Shea to the rescue. Quenching thirst and extending wash days. *kisses jar of whipped Shea butter*

 

[Garner]

@ElevatedEnergy Do you usually use rose water to moisturize? What is the longest amount of time that you have gone between washes since you have been using whipped shea butter? @Aggie & @ElevatedEnergy... How did you like the Cleopatra's Choice ivory shea butter? Sorry for so many questions. lol

I use either distilled water or rosewater. I always have them on hand for other purposes in my beauty routine (distilled water for my steamer or soap making....rosewater for a toner).

I usually wash between the 10 and 14 day mark.

I like Ms. Cleo's Shea butter. I mostly like that you can order in bulk and get free shipping. Her Argan oil is also pretty nice too.

@Garner Plus the Shea always seems to be on sale. LOL

 

[Garner]

@ElevatedEnergy I have used the yellow shea butter from Ms. Cleo (for body care mostly and to mix for Deep treatments) and it melts in your hands w/o problems. Do you find that with the Ivory?
I have ordered Argan and Rose hip seed oil from her site as well, both with positive results. I love sales too!!!

On my pockets, great. It was $4.99 for an 8 once tub. I used about three tablespoons melted and added to my DC. It added great slip to it! I also spread it all over me after my shower instead of vaseline this time, awesome! I picked it up from the Beaty Supply store 3 minutes away from me. And they are well stocked. I gets my stuff on the ground.

I subscribed just so that I could thank you ladies for reminding me of the power of Shea butter. I’ve been fumbling through the busiest time of my life and neglecting my fine 4b/a hair too much. I finally found myself with a free 2 hours this morning and did the unthinkable... I began washing my hair 2 hours before going to an 8hour shift in a professional setting. A generous amount of a Shea butter and a few minutes under a satin scarf was all I need to weigh down two pigtail braids to create a passable hair style. My scalp and hair are happy and I’m able to get to work!

@Garner,

I usually go anywhere from 1 - 2 weeks between washes but in between, I would do a very warm water rinse in the shower to take some of the butter out of my hair if I take as long as 2 weeks however.

It can get very oily if I take longer than a week to wash my hair. I have about 12 wig caps that I use daily under my wigs. I constantly shampoo them, allow to dry and wear again later.

I have not yet used my cleo patras butter. I am still using up my current batch and won't be ready for making another one for at least another 2-3 weeks I'm sure. When that's done, I will mix another batch using cleo's shea butter.

Welcome to our Shea World @Sarabellam. You will not regret it.

 

[Aggie]

Just used some SSI Marula Hemp Hair Cream and sealed it all in with my diy shea butter mix. I really love this SSI Cream - I need to reorder more when there is another great sale.

He "claims" it was just this particular batch that had an offensive odor and that each batch is different.

And this was my 1st and LAST Purchase from him.

GOOD Customer Service would have said: "This stuff stank and I can't sell it to anybody" but he sent it. Even though he refunded me 1/2 my money.

Thanks love. I am definitely not interested because that batch may be a very large batch that could last 2-6 months or longer depending on how much he bought from his supplier and how fast he gets them sold. So No , I'll pass on this one.

@Aggie
I'll never repurchase from him again. And I have 5lbs of Pure Funk I am working through.

 

[Sarabellam]

Thanks @Aggie!

Right now I’m using a Shea/jbco mix. It’s buttery and super protective. It has been working out perfectly for winter protective styles.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this but maybe you should just stick with cleo patras choice, Oslove Organics, New Directions Aromatics, or one of the other Ghanaian or Nigerian suppliers discussed in this chat.

Sorry I’ve been absent from this thread for a little bit. After watching Black Panther it’s got me all in my feelings and I’ve been spending all of my time in the Black Panther thread as a result. I’m very emotional right now. If y’all haven’t seen this movie, go see it! I did wonder if Wakandans use Shea Butter.

Hey lady!!! How are you using your batches above? Are you applying them and leaving them on?

 

[ilong]

I use yellow shea butter from the beauty supply store. Whipped with a hand mixer with a teaspoon each of JBCO, Avocado Sunflower oil mix and Alma oil until light and fluffy. My hair gets dry and ashy looking after a few days and my scalp is greasy. I usually cornrow my natural hair and wear wigs but on days I don't feel like wigs I will wear two braids. I am happy with the overall products I use for my hair, shea butter has been the only new addition to my regimen since Dec 2017. I am fine with removing it to see there is a difference in my hair.

@Lissa0821 - it may be the type/brand of shea butter you're getting from the beauty supply store. You should look at the container to see if any ingredients are listed. I purchase large blocks of SB from an African Dealer who has it shipped from Ghana. The yellow SB I have had the borututu bark added and the whites is pure.
