[chebaby]

i know i posted this already but i have to make it clear

a bit hit: african shea butter and coconut oil mix (this mix is crazy moisturizing. so moisturizing that i can go days without using it again. omg my hair has been in hair dream land since using this product. and its so cheap to make. an 8oz of african shea butter is only 5.99)
essential balms black soap.(i washed with this again today and it cleaned my hair while keeping it soooo soft. my hair feels so thick and cottony with this stuff)

Chebaby: I just started mixing coconut oil and shea butter (have a ton of both as I get the good stuff cheap here at the farmer's market and African store) less than three months ago and crazy moisturizing is exactly the right term for it. I use it from head to toe.

Do you actually combine the ingredients in both all together or follow up w/ one treatment after the other?

I actually smush them all together - but only use the amt of yogurt that you'd use for one.

HIts:
Avon Naturals almond and avocado oils poo and conditioner. Both are very moisturizing. The poo was better than CON on my head and the conditioner was thick and creamy- I put a plastic cap on for about 30 minutes and rinsed and loved the softness. My hair hardley gets soft.
