Well I just finished making my first henna/SB mix :).

I didn’t measure anything. Just eyeballed it.
Mix includes:

Shea Butter
Mango Butter
Henna
Bringraj
Fenugreek
Haitian Black Castor Oil
Hibiscus
Black Seed Oil
Grape Seed Oil
Safflower Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Vitamin E Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Broccoli Seed Oil
Hempseed Oil

* Added Snickerdoodle fragrance oil which reminds me of Hairveda’s Vatika Frosting :drool:*

ETA- I used the double broiler method and left it in the fridge for about 3 hours. I whipped it for 7 minutes or so and afterwards I use a seive like the lady did in one of the videos posted in this thread. End result is very creamy which I love.

Girl, that jar is the one I got from Spranz that came with that detangler Lol.

I bought the fragrance oils from Amazon. They’re pretty good quality. So far I love the Snickerdoodle and Cupcake :2inlove:

For my Butters - Specifically SB-based ones I'll probably never buy another on-line one unless somebody is specializing in Unicorn Tears or Fairy Wings or something.:yawn:

Especially when we've been able to "capture the magic":infatuated:

And I maintain half the ones I've whipped up are just as good (if not better):look:

I thought about experimenting with some "other butters" but I wanna be able to effectively evaluate SB (on its own).

I did buy some Baobab Oil and some Camellia Oil and will make some blends with these.

I’ll see how this first mix goes and go from there. I have both of these oils as well. I’ll have to do a more simpler mix next time. I went off on the oils today :giggle:

This. Now that I’ve done it myself, I don’t really feel the need to purchase another one unless I get very lazy.

Do you think you're going to like all the scents that came in your collection?

I made a mock cart with: Marshmallow, Cupcake, Cotton Candy, Sugar Cookie (just looking around).:drunk:
Click to expand...

Well so far none of the scents make me want to :censored: so that’s a good sign :lol:.

I like Snickerdoodle, Cupcake, Sugar Cookie, and Pumpkin Pie the most right now. Ooooo Cotton Candy and Marshmallow sounds good :lick:
 
My Shea mix is whipped. It only took a little bit over an hour to harden. The only grainy feeling I get is from the hibiscus powder. I melted it, mix all the ingredients, put it in the fridge for an hour, then whip it. At first I was afraid I put too much power because the mixture looked dark. It lighten up after I whipped it. My only regret is forgetting to add castor oil and not having fenugreek puree on hand. My hair likes both.

My mix:
infused CP oil
Cassia powder
Amla powder
Brahmi power
few drops of Rosemary and tea tree oils
Hibiscus powder

Even with everything I've purchased so far, (butters, mixer, fragrance oils) it's still much "Cheaper" than what I would have spent on buying a couple Pre-Mix SB Blends (with shipping, size etc....):twocents:

True. That’s one of the benefits to doing this yourself. Once I venture into doing body butters ect. You won’t be able to tell me nothing :giggle:
