Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[Chicoro]

Pssssstttt!!!!!!!!
Everybody, I spotted a unicorn in another thread.

I don't think she is a Shea-Made Unicorn, but genetically, she is of the same family. Be quiet though, and don't be scaring her. She is moving in silence and doing her thing in the Lusicious Healthy Ends thread. Try not to make any noise when you go over there, like I did. I couldn't resist asking about her hair regimen. She might hear you coming and then gallop away before you can get a good look. But hopefully, she'll continue along as is and we can get a good long look at her luscious, fabulous hair!

While lurking at work I had a 5lb Cart of 3Cayg (sp) made and getting ready to hit PayNah, before I came to my durn senses droolin' & foolin' over your SB-Blends.....

I have plenty (for now). But trust & beweave, I'm getting those 5lb's of 3Cayg(sp).

Whipped Up:
Unrefined SB (Oslove)
Wheat Germ Powder
a tiny splash of WG Ohio
a tiny splash of Pure Argan Oil
a tiny splash of Pumpkin Seed Oil

Haven't read through all 141 pages
Look y'all, I'm just using shea butter straight from the tub. I haven't been whipping it or adding anything to it. Is that sufficient?

If it works, why fix it? We’re just greedy and want as many nutrients as we can pack in lol

I've been doing an UBER low maintenance routine. I only take down my hair and wash/deep condition monthly. I flat twist/2 strand twist my hair and leave it alone. I co-wash the twists as needed between take downs. I've been slathering shea butter on my edges and ends daily. That's it. I seem to be (finally!) retaining length from the ends now. I took a picture today and I'm curious to see what my hair looks like in December 2018.

I'm still only on page 46 out of 141(!!!!) but I just finished making my first mix today! It's so smooth and creamy, like frosting. I just want to roll around all in it. I used shea butter from the BSS (this one) and one of the Hollywood Beauty oil mixes that I'm trying to use up from my stash. My hair likes that oil, but the smell is too strong so I never use it. Mixing it with the oil made the smell a bit lighter.

Now I'm filling my shopping cart with more butter, and more oils, and ALL THE SCENTS! I'm about to be a shea fiend! Hair butter, body butter, cuticle butter... It's lit! And then later today I'm going to Dollar Tree to get some glass jars. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas?

Congratulations and Welcome!!! You will find this thread an interesting read with very supportive people. You are going to enjoy the empowerment in making your own mixes.

Thanks! The thing that finally convinced me was that I "borrowed" some shea body butter from my mom and my skin has been so soft and smooth and buttery and glowy... Even after I shower/wash my hands. And as a restaurant worker, I wash my hands a *lot*. So I took a look at the ingredients and what do you know? Shea butter! Then I remembered this thread and I started reading and I just couldn't stay away!

Lemme know when you do the announcement. I got her golden pail right here. I’ve been itching to make one for a while now.

@Chicoro I think this word should be added to your Shea dictionary

We should get a commission on all the business we send to 3cayg! I’m happy they’re so popular though. I want them to win!

Mayne, I bought a couple of pails and some other butters. Someone would’ve made a nice commission off me

She doesn't use Shea butter. She stated in her post that she hates oils. She's a cousin and fellow unicorn, but not a Shea made unicorn. So, no pail.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Bought Pure Mafura Butter to Blend in with my S-Butter Blends,

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Straightened on low heat (320) using Queen Shea right out the pail. Postpartum shedding is really killing me softly...I just wanted it straight enough to pass a comb through it.

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

Ooh, girl you fine!

 

[sarumoki]

Yesterday was wash day and I used my mix for the first time when I put it into two strand twists after. My hair is feeling super smooth this morning and my ends are actually coiling together instead of going every which way. Shea is officially staying in the regimen!

 

[ItsMeLilLucky]

I finally got my package from 3cayG

Cocoa Butter smells like I should pop a piece in my mouth, muru muru is so moisturizing, cupuacu smells like a drank, the ivory Shea is softer than the yellow, but they’re both pretty dang soft. Here’s a family photo:

*excuse the toes.

It's them toes that let us know it's real. 'They' cute, too -the toes!

I didn’t know my toes were out until I literally about to post the pic. By then, I wasn’t about to do any editing lol

I just have so many questions!

 

[kupenda]

I haven’t been using my shea butter lately. The level of lazy I’ve exerted is shameful. But I’m back on it today! Before I spell out my weekend hair plans, ladies can I use Shea butter if I’m also planning to use gel? I’ve done a top bun with some hair added and although it’s super cute, gel can be quite drying. Should I apply the Shea butter then apply the gel on top before my scarf to set overnight?
