Shea Growth and Retention Regimen 2015

I haven't read through the entire tbread yet but how are ya'll whipping the shea butter, with a blender?

No. It is best to use and make your shea mix with electric whiskers.

Anything else will create a guaranteed 'failed' batch.


Walmart should have these for 10 dollars.

I know this thread was for 2015. Much of what was said within this thread, held true for me in 2017 as well. I learned that I have to whip shea butter in order to make it work for me. The benefits have been amazing!

• no tangled hair
• fewer to no single strand knots
• super shine
• buttery soft hair

BUT...
Phenomenal growth and retention were the biggest surprises. I started using these butters because of the growth and/or retention I saw on women with afro-textured hair who use it faithfully. Although I have afro-textured hair, what works for most people, rarely works for me. Shea butter has proven to work for me as well.

In addition, now, I can spot who uses shea butter in their regimen by the health, and most importantly to me, usually by the length of their hair. I will continue to use shea butter in 2018

I can totally relate to the bolded text. I tried shea butter on top of my stay sof fro and I was shocked at how well it worked! I used it a second time last night and it worked even better. My hair is so soft! I wasn't expecting that because whenever I jump on one of these bandwagons I end up with drier hair and emptier pockets lol.

You are welcome! I am adamant about that whisker for Shea butter because not having it was number reason my shea mixes never turned out right.

You are doing better than me. I've been throwing out batches for years because I had every kitchen aid EXCEPT that whisker. Looks like you saved some time, money and headaches! Time for some Shea Power!

Yeah! Glad it worked for you.

I am sealing my leave in conditioners with Shea butter and cornrowing my hair for wigs. I am expecting good results of moist healthy ends.
