Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[Chicoro]

I made another small batch of Rose Powder, Rose Hip Oil and Unrefined SB.

Nice Blend.

Where are the pictures of these blends? I know they look yummy!

No problem and no pressure! I'll just keep imagining how things look. I have to do that for they smell anyway, right?

Night, night, everyone!

Yeah I'm imagining that your mixes are so awesome @IDareT'sHair . You are giving us ideas so carry on

 

[Aggie]

Too late! I already bought some a long time ago. I don't remember why, but I know it had to be because of LHCF. Now I want to see what all the fuss is about!

Yeah girl @sunnieb, come on over. I am enjoying this thread so much plus it is definitely challenging my creative side .

I just twisted my hair up it took a little over an hour. I used tgin leave in and a Shea butter mix I made a couple of weeks ago. Mix included Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil and orange oil. I didn't measure anything.
I'm heavy handed so I may have used to much my twists are white I hope they don't stay white. Good thing I'm off tomorrow. I hope to keep these twists in for at least a week. I hope they are decent enough to wear out.View attachment 421857View attachment 421859View attachment 421861View attachment 421863

Girl @Coilystep, Dem twists look so juicy. They remind me of @Saludable84's Heavy sealed twists .

 

[Aggie]

Thanks. I'm just trying to absorb all of this good knowledge you all are giving in this thread. It really should become a sticky.

Yasssss I think so too!

Horsetail herb was in one of my orders that arrived today so I will make my own oil from it by infusing it.

I haven't washed my hair yet. Instead, tonight I dampened my hair by wetting my hands and smoothing in hot water. I slathered on my Shea butter mix and put it back up in a puff cuff.

Nice Blend.

I did the same except I added mango butter, Argan oil, and sweet almond oil. It came out like a sorbet, because of my impatience. I couldn’t wait for it to warm up to room temperature. No worries though. It will “creamify” eventually once it warms up.

 

[NappyNelle]

I finally washed out my conditioner and slathered my damp hair in SSI Seyani.

@IDareT'sHair and @Aggie What rose powder are you two using?

Yall are making me want to get to mixing...

 

[NappyNelle]

And how is it that I won't be on the hair side for ONE DAY and yall add 3 pages to the thread?! lol You guys are shea-nuts.

Believe it or not I am using Hesh Rose Petal Powder and it can be acquired at www.myhenna.us or www.khanapakana.com. I got my last stash from the latter vendor and have not been disappointed. However, I like them both for my ayurveda powder purchases. This powder has a fresh, subtle, lovely rose scent that makes my mixes smell awesome .

All I can say @NappyNelle, don't snooze on this thread .

I got to snooze on this thread because the of the time difference! That's okay! I catch up when most of ya'll are still sleeping.

 

[Jade Feria]

@Chicoro, you are TOO funny!

I DC'ed today, then did a LCB
L(eave-in) - Kinky-Curly Knot Today
C(ream) - SSI Moisture Pro Triple Butter Heavy Cream
B(utter) - Blended Shea mixture

This was a great combination. My hair feels maximally moisturized! And I'm not sure if it's just me, but is my hair looking thicker these days??

My hair, when dry in twists, is now super springy. Like, if I pull a twist down and let it go, it SPRINGS back, harder than ever. Anyone else experiencing something like this?

 

[Chicoro]

Yes, @Jade Feria ,
My braids spring harder and farther, too. The 'tensile' strength has maximized. My braids sway and hang heavier since I've been using Shea butter, as well. I never had that before either.

What's a puff cuff?

 

[GGsKin]

What's a puff cuff?

I have two junior sized clips. They are like a more gentle, new school ring-comb.

 

[Chicoro]

Thank you @AbsyBlvd ! I've never seen this before. I would use the mini!

 

[sunnieb]

I left my shea butter out all night, but it's still hard.

I guess I should spoon it into a container???? I'm a rookie!

 

[GGsKin]

Thank you @Absy! I've never seen this before. I would use the mini!

I actually wish I'd bought some minis when I placed my order. U don't remember shipping being kind, or fast at the time.

You can add your oils and break it up with a fork and whip it. Whip it, good!
