Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[Aggie]

Thanks Aggie!!!

@Garner
You're welcome love. Hope the answer helped.

Onion oil. Interesting! What does it smell like? I just watched a video about the power of onion juice for edges and general thickness.

@YvetteWithJoy

I have had onion oil - geesh that thing is pungent!!! It was so bad, it overwhelmed everything I put it in. It was like an essential oil and maybe that's why it was so stank. I will never use it again. I dumped it after I couldn't make it work. Smell is critical for me.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

My Oils came from Pi.ping Ro.ck today:
Cameilla Oil
Baobab Oil
Avocado Oil (b/up)
x2 Fra.grance Oils

*got supplements and some other miscellaneous stuff too*

 

[Aggie]

@YvetteWithJoy
It just shipped.

I did buy "Garlic Oil" from Hemani and it smells really good beweave it or not? Not a "trace" of garlic in the scent. Same with Black Seed Oil (surprisingly good).

The Fenugreek Oil I used last week was interesting smelling, as well as the Carrot I used last night.

Curious about Linseed Oil? I haven't opened it to smell it yet.

Hmmm,

I might get this garlic oil you speak of @IDareT'sHair

Lawd...I hope it don't stank that bad.

If it smells that bad, no amount of "Fra.grance" is going to over that mess up!..

 

[Aggie]

This looks very nourishing to the strands. Looks good enough to eat. lol Do you add the powders themselves in the Shea mix without placing them in an infusion? If so, does it cause the Shea mix to feel gritty? If so how do you resolve this?

@Garner,

I will eventually be infusing an ayurveda oil blend to add to my Shea butter but for now I am using the herbs in my shea butter. When I do, I will use it on my scalp as well as my hair.

So true @IDareT'sHair . If you got a Hemani brand, it may not be so bad.

@Aggie
Smells very nice. Hemani Brand (Ayurvedic). I'm sure it is mixed because I pulled out their brand of Argan and it also had Black Seed & Coconut Oil in it.

The Garlic one smells very nice and it's "Pink"

Whoa, I just ordered some supplements from vitacost.com including my beloved MSM. I'm running low so it's my back up supply. I didn't get any oils though. I am thinking about picking up some fragrance oils from newdirectionsaromatics.com for my SB mixes though.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

So true . If you got a Hemani brand, it may not be so bad.

@Aggie
I smelled the Linseed today because I was "curious" Fenugreek the same.

Bad but not overly offensive.

But don't NOTHING - I repeat NOTHING smells worse than Neem.

@IDareT'sHair, I didn't see any B4G1 so I will wait until you can tell me who the seller is.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Aggie
hemani_herbal

I don't see the B4 G1 Free anymore? I wonder if that was just for Christ.mas?

Yes that's the vendor I was looking at a minute ago. Thanks, I will have to save that vendor as a favorite to go back and look some more later.

 

[cravoecanela]

I've been putting some butter on my dry hair every day since wash day last Sunday. My hair is NOT greasy, and it's unbelievably soft. It's a miracle.

 

[Sally.]

Sorry posted in the wrong thread! lol

 

[Sosoothing]

I made my shea butter mix with coconut oil and olive oil. I wisked the mixture instead of using an electric mixer. This resulted in a thick, light/ airy cream. I like it.
I put a good amount on my hair after my curl activator.

Oh you’re just now saying that? I bought some a few weeks ago but I haven’t open it. That’s my only powder I haven’t used.

 

[Honey Bee]

I don't think the powder is as bad (or at all). It's the oil that's funky.

Ms. @Honey Bee is right. I'm talmbout the Oil....

@mzteaze
Hope you're better.

I can get "reactions" from stuff quickly a Ben.adryl usually helps, and then I hafta' back-track on what I used.

Thanks!

As it turns out, nettles tea has a similar effect without the drowsiness of Benadryl. My doctor's office suggested that and I already had it in my stash.

At least I don't look like I need an eye patch. My eye was crazy red for a minute.

Neem oil has a nutty smell to me.

Yeah. It smells like somebody's "Nuts" alright.

[ElevatedEnergy]

@ElevatedEnergy Your recipe looks good also. How much oats need to be soaked to make an adequate supply of oat milk?

For the recipe I posted: I used a large mason jar; poured the oats to the 8 ounce mark, then filled the rest of the glass with boiling water.
