I Finally Found My All Day Softness Moisturizer & It's Homemade!!!

[SignatureBeauty]

Ladies I am so Darn Happy! I have been looking high and low for that ONE product to give me that all day softness, I spent so much money on products and they didn't even work for me, so at the start shea butter just did not work for me at all, Now I must say that it works like a charm when it is mixed with castor oil I got the idea from a member at Nappturality but I thought, this ain't gone work my hair will be dry by the time I go outdoors, Well I was wrong, and I have had softness for 2 days, all I did was CW and apply a tad bit of shea butter with a tad bit of castor oil and melt them together in my hand and applied, Man, my hair has so much sheen and it is Softtttt! so this morning all I did was spritz with water and added just a little more and my hair is soft.

Now if I can just learn how to whip it and then add me some Vanilla or Coconut Fragrance or Both, or maybe even some Green Tea & Cucumber like NL scented growth oil Those who have a Twa that is dry as heck should give this a try, I am not taking any pics because I am taking one when I hit my 6 month Mark to see my growth

This is really gonna save money in my pocket! I had already grew tired of buying products on line to make my hair soft then be dissappointed! But I am good to go, I hope this continues to work because I do have picky,finacky hair that changes like Texas Weather!

Congrats girl! I wonder if that recipe works on relaxed hair that is bunned? I say bunned because it sounds pretty thick and that wouldn't be good if my hair was hanging loose.
P.S. I understand 'bout Texas weather!!! Its been beautiful for the last 3 days though. Humidity will return by SUNDAY!!! boooooooo!

I mix my shea butter with Africa's Best herbal oil and it leaves my ends soft even after I take my bun or french roll down, it is still soft. I love this mixure because it's easier to apply because it has a soft consistency.

If you check out my, "EUREKA" thread. I talk about it. I myself am relaxed, and it works so well for my ends. I have only tried it on them, because that is the thirstiest part of my hair. I am not bunned, but I do wear it in a low ponytail. Actually I don't find it be that thick. The brand that I use is thick in the tin, but you only need a little bit. You rub it in your hands and as it warms it becomes creamy, a little thinner than vaseline. I haven't tried it with straight castor oil yet. I use my castor/coconut oil mix. I put it on at night before bed, and in the morning it feels moisturized, not sticky or greasy. It really does penetrate. I think it would work for wearing the hair down, as long as it is used sparingly.

The weather has been great, hasn't it?
So, this works on relaxed hair, also?

To whip it is easy, the way I do it is to melt it in a container over boiling water for about 25 minutes. I take it off and pour it into another container that has whatever you are going to mix it with (for you castor oil & fragrance). Mix it good for 5-10 min. It will still be kind of a thick liquid (opaque though) so you just put it in the fridge for about a half hour then take it out and mix it again...it will look like frosting!

How hard it will be depends on how much your proportions, so start with a small amt first to determine if you like the consistency & just reformulate if you need to from there. For a small amt, I would use roughly 2 ounces of shea butter (bout 1/4 cup) then use 1oz (1/8 cup) of castor oil.

Congrats on finding something that works for you!
