Here's a couple. They can be used for both hair and body. Just remember, if you are using shea as a base, and it's not fluffly, or like whipped cream when you are done, add more oil(jojoba,almond,hot six, whatever oil you have on hand) and try again.
Whipped magic
Ingrediants needed:
1/4 cup shea butter(unrefined preferably)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup jojoba oil or almond oil
your favorite eo's(essential oils)
1 heaping tbls honey or use 1/2 teaspoon glycerine as a substitute
2Tbls favorite hair conditioner
Take the shea,coconut oil put into glass measuring cup. Set to the side. Then get a pot fill 1/2 way w/ water, put the cup of shea and coconut in the middle of the pot,turning up the heat to let the water in the pan come to a boil, then turn the heat down to a 2 or 1 on the stove. Stir the mix till it all melts. Take the cup out of the pot carefully and set on the counter. Stir while adding the jojoba or almond oil. Put in the fridge or freezer(freezer is faster if you are pressed for time) Let it cool for approx 15 min. You are gonna want to see it look cloudy. Like how oil that's been used for frying cooled? That's what you want it to look like. Take it out of the fridge or freezer, set on the counter. Get out your favorite eo's. I usually do bitter almond, chamomile, and rose. What ever you want to use.
*TIP: for a great cooling foot cream, use peppermint, and a little bit of tea tree eo's. It's refershing, and it will tingle your feet really nice*
Get out a fork, and start to whip/beat your mix. Just like you do w/ scrambled eggs. Whip it till it looks like cool whip, and you are done. I usually transfer the mix to single serving yogurt cups. I will let each cup of mix be a different flavor, so to speak. You can omit the eo's as well if you like.
This stuff will melt upon the touch, and it looks like cool whip too!
I use vanilla/bitter almond for my skin. My hair and scalp loves it too! It will work like a grease, but won't cause build up, and smells wonderful for days! I do store it in the fridge, when I don't use it. It's not nessary, but I do.
Pre-wash Deep conditioner
1/3 cup coconut oil
4 heaping Tbls of Honey, or 1 tsp glycerine as a substitute
1/2 cup of favorite conditioner( you can use a deep conditioner as well)
Mix well, Heat for 10 seconds in the microwave. You want it to be warm to the touch. Add to hair in sections,detangling as you go. Wrap w/ hair cap, or plastic wrap, or aluminum foil(whatever you choose) then apply warm towel, or heating cap for maxium benefits. You can even sleep w/ it over night if you want. Rinse throughly, then shampoo or no poo.
My hair is just so soft for days after!
HONEY
*Natural humectant, and it's great for the hair and skin! I put it in all my mixes. It can also be used :
1Tlbs of honey, or use 2 tsp glycerine as a substitute
12oz of water
1 Tbls favorite conditioner
several drops of favorite eo
1/2 tsp of jojoba or almond oil
mix and shake in a spray bottle. You are ready to go. It can be used as a "hair gel or spray" and there are recipies for it.

*OH YEAH TIP*
If you have put in too much honey, when you refridgerate the body butter, it will seperate. Just reheat a bit and whip again. If the mix, doesn't look like cool whip, add more shea/coconut, or jojoba or almond oil, and friderate again, then whip again. If you have used too much honey in the leave-in, it will act like a hair spray, and it my leave your hair stiff. Add more water, and it will be fine. Honey can also bring out curl definition
erplexed Don't use it at all, or if you do, omit the honey in the recipe. Veg Glycerine is also a humectant. You can substitute that! I go into anaphaxis( throat closes, hives among other unpleasant things) just don't even go there. Use the substitutes instead, and it will still be just as fabulous!
I looked like an alien until I healed up. Now I just use the milk
