Man and I thought was being a bit "out there" by considering a new hand mixer, bowls & spatulas for my mixtress ways.... Not to mention my DH building a special closet for my glass jars of ayurvedic powders & stuff.

Then I read about folks planning trips around Shea butter. Humph, guess I need to step up my game.

Hold up, @mzteaze ,
Girl, you trying to talk about me in an 'anonymous way'? :ghost::giggle:
Click to expand...

Lol nope, nothing anonymous about it. Some day I will plot a trip, just like you.

By the way, how did some person we aren't referring to, make a video and not make a peep on the hair board?. Glad my subscription came through or I might have missed it.

I told her I would do it for her, but for a price: She must learn to take care of her own hair.

That gives her about 6 months to cultivate knowledge about her. It also will allow shea butter to work its magic during that time frame.

Alright Nah "Hair Whisperer":giggle: 1st Bolded. Giving folks life learning skills & thangs.:bookworm2:

6 months:scratchchin: It's interesting you say this? I was thinking a 6 months would be a good benchmark to determine overall effectiveness.

By the way, she asked me if it were possible for her to have straight hair without a relaxer. I told her it was. She wants to have the experience of a beautiful flat iron on her natural, hair. I told her I would do it for her, but for a price: She must learn to take care of her own hair.

So, we have a tentative plan to trim her ends and straighten her hair sometime in June. That gives her about 6 months to cultivate knowledge about her. It also will allow shea butter to work its magic during that time frame. Then, she goes back home to South Africa.

There you go! Don't just give her a fish. Teach her how to fish! It would be great if she could join us here on LHCF too. Would love to see her progress.
 
Chicoro said:
How far up the ends are you putting your mix? On the last 1/2 inch or a bit more? Also, what is your frequency of application? Have you noticed a softening of your ends or less knots?
Click to expand...

I apply extra butter to the last 2inches or so of my hair. I have noticed fewer fairy knots and better retention.

@ElevatedEnergy
How much of this do you usually buy and do you buy larger quantities than 1 lb?
Click to expand...

I usually buy around 3 pounds every other month. I keep 1 pound for personal use and whip up the other 2 pounds and sell them in 4 once containers locally. (My husband takes them to work, keep them in his office on a shelf and people usually buy them from him) He's the boss, so I'm not sure if they sell because of that reason :lachen: or if people really like them so I don't order more than 3 pounds at a time. :lachen:

"Somebody" bumped up the Whipped Aphogee Two Step thread and placed the link of the video in that thread.

I will probably be doing updates. She is not likely to join. She said I could post her pictures, though. She's a totally newbie with her hair, and she LOVES taking photos - with MY camera! So, I think we got a good chance of following her progress.

I will be interested in following her progress in 2018.

I showed her your comment. She was so happy to see it and she just grinned and smiled and was absolutely delighted. There should be more photos.

Today we went to the Beauty Supply and picked up some conditioner. It's the first time she has ever bought it. Then, I took her to the grocery store for some shampoo. She has her own little jar of shea butter. She's so new at this, she's asked me to come over in January when she is scheduled to do her first wash.

Most times, I see a change in hair after the 1st wash. If the person is consistent, hair starts to visibly turn around in 1 month. After 3 months, any problems with the process or products will pop up. At the 6 months mark, if things are going okay, you've probably got a keeper in terms of products and processes.
 
:lurking:

I whip my shea butter in Ayurvedic powder infused oils. Will lurk for more ideas. I keep my hair in braids and unravel every few days to mist my hair with water followed by my whipped shea butter. I will never be without this.
 
ive been wearing my shea mix. the aloe i put in it actually turned orange lol. i was wondering if that would eventually make the whole thing go bad or if its ok? i can pick it out i guess at this point. i'll look at it when i get home .... lol

i've been wearing it though. sunday or monday, i sprayed my hair with glycerin, put more shea mix on it and put it in a new style for the rest of the week. i'm loving it (the shea mix :) )
