bumping
Just searched for lanolin . Was hoping to see some experiences with it.Hey @Kurlee, what made you bump a 15 years old thread?
I've thought about this (lanonin for hair) on an off for years, but never followed through until today. This thread came up on a google search. I'm just starting to research the topic -- It's a good start.
Will be back when I have more info.
I've been using this for a while and it is amazing. My ends are supple and stay moisturized for almost a week. When I use this as a sealant consistently, my retention is insane and no SSKs. I use it on damp hair after my leave in and before any stylers.
I use 1 part lanolin (melted), 1 part Sunny Isle JCBO pure butter, 1 part avocado oil, EO for scent. I try to make it a "hair grease texture. I also find that my curl pattern is more defined.
not any different, tbh. I'm loving the supple ends.Thanks for the update! Do you find that it's difficult to wash out?

It's heavy on its own and the smell is a little strong, so that's why I dilute it and add EO. I like the mix as a sealer. Is your body butter like a shea whip or a store-bought one?Glad to hear it has been working for you. I use lanolin in my body butter and use it on my hair as well. My hair has been happy with it.
How do you like the Sunny Isle JCBO pure butter (never heard of it)? I am looking for a pomade/sealer.
Hmm, I may have to try it. Sounds good. I make my own body butter - a shea whip - with shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, grape seed oil, olive oil, and lanolin. It too easy to make to justify buying.It's heavy on its own and the smell is a little strong, so that's why I dilute it and add EO. I like the mix as a sealer.

Oooh! I'm gonna add lanolin to my shea butter mix. Thanks for sharing. My mix is similar, but the only difference is that I swap out the GS oil for avocado.Hmm, I may have to try it. Sounds good.

Almost any place you get butters from has it. I get the anhydrous one and not the liquid one.Where are you ladies getting your lanolin from?
