Shea Butter!!

[Black Hoya Chick]

Just got mine in the mail today! I am so excited to use it tonight. I am gonna rinse my hair, moisturize with my Garnier, and then seal with the butter. I'll let you all know my results, but until then..how do YOU feel about shea butter?

I love Shea Butter. I get mine from Nasabb.com and use it all over! Just finished up a jar this week!

I need to start using this some more.
My mom got two HUGE tubs of it from a friend of hers.
She gave me less than 1/2 of it and I have so much.
She wanted to give me some more!

I'm going to melt some this weekend and add some EO's to them.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. My hair soaks it up, so for e it does double duty. Try melting some down and adding a scent- I placed a sprig of fresh peppermint to mine to let it seep in and now its cool on my scalp and smells good. I just replace the peppermint when it starts to look icky.

Love it. I use pure, unrefined. I use from my hair follicles to my toenails.

i mix my sheabutter with coconut oil. it melts extra fast and it goes on the hair smoother.

I like it a lot, and I also use it for everything. I would like to try to East African version, but it is suppose to have a lighter scent, lighter in color, and smoother application. There was a thread about it not to long ago:

Ditto!

It's to the point where, if a local vendor is selling shea butter, and it doesn't look like Nasabb's shea butter, I refuse to purchase.

LOL! And, I like to mix mine with coconut oil sometimes.

Be careful how you melt it down. Try a double boiler method. I wouldn't expose it directly to the heat source, or put it in the microwave - that breaks the shea butter down and then you'll lose all those good qualities.

Oh-em-gee! that was the greatest thing i have ever used. why did i wait so long?! my hair feels so moisturized, sealed, and...great. and its heavy so there is some weight on my hair, which i love because its so thick and hard to tame sometimes. this has def just replaced my olive oil so sealing, and gel for setting. wonderful!
