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!

Mine was hard from the day I bought it until I mixed it up. This thread didn't exist when I first bought it and I almost threw it out because I thought something was wrong with it. Glad I kept it. I chose to melt mine over steam before whisking.
I see @Chicoro gave you another suggestion already.
 
Soooooooooooo, I have an idea. Not sure if it was presented in this thread, but I was thinking how could I use Shea Butter as a deep conditioner without getting into the science of Preservatives and other liquids.

Here is what I came up with. Maybe I did cover this already in this thread...not too sure, but here goes.

Two scoops of shea butter
Your favorite deep conditioner
JBCO or any castor oil
Amla Powder
Brahmi Powder
Maka Powder (Bhringraj)
Coconut Oil

Mix them alllll together and there you have it. I guess it would be similar to a Henna gloss, but the only difference is the Shea Butter. I'd make enough to use for one deep conditioning session. I'd apply it with a brush (One used for relaxers) to ensure coverage of the strands while concentrating heavily on the ends of your hair. I would let the shea butter get very soft first, then mix everything together. I'd sit under a dryer for a serious deep conditioning session and rinse when complete.

Whoever tries this method first, report back and let us know how it works out. Our hair needs all of the conditioning and moisturizing as this winter is very harsh this year.
 
@ThatJerseyGirl
Please let me know how it goes.:yep:....:up:

I am already doing this with a variety of DC'ers (JMonique's).
I take the JMonique:
Wheatgrass & Spinach
Triple Seaweed
Burdock Root & Nettle
Irish Moss & Cocoa

*She has others i.e. Raw Honey, Coffee, Charcoal, Bentonite & Rhassoul* (I have the Coffee & Charcoal ones - but haven't used them this way)

She had her DC'ers 50% off (they made a great base for the Ayurvedic Powders & Oils).

I take the above mentioned one(s) and mix them with various Ayurvedic Powders & Ayurvedic Oils and use them for an Ayurveda Mask. So far the Masks have worked very well and allows me to do a little Ayurveda at the same time.

Haven't added in the SB tho' but I'm very interested. Please report back.

I wish I would have had this knowledge Circa de' 2017.:wallbash:

I could have avoided a mini-detangling set-back.

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

I think I'm going to whip mine again. My consistency seem harder than everyone's.

Seems like Henna gloss and hot oil treatment all in one. Sounds like something I like to try.
 
Made my shea mix last night .....i added

4oz shea butter
2 tbsp castor oil
2 tbsp alma oil
amla powder
bhrami powder
Hibiscus powder
Red clove
Horsetail powder
Garlic essential oil
rosemary essential oil
tea tree essential oil

I didn't want to use too many ingredients so i tried to be minimalist and i only used half a tsp for the powders.

I did not use a double boiler rather the shea melted to room temperature once i left it out from the freezer. I added the ingredients and used a spatula to stir at first till it was creamy, then i used my hand held blender to blend it.....left it by my air conditioner overnight and this was the result!

its a little grainy, i feel from the hibiscus powder but its still so nice and creamy on my hair

I wish I had known this waaaay back. I don't think my "Circa de'" can go back that far lololol.....If I was hip to da shea game back then..chiiiillllleeee......

A Shea Intervention!!! A Shea Intervention for the Prevention of..... I like that sound of that.

Anywho, when I come out of this install, I'm going to take some of my shea mix and mix it with some conditioner. My favorite now is Crece Pelo.

I didn't think of it as a hot oil treatment as well. If you decide to try it, please let us know. I can only imagine the moisturizing possibilities. A perfect hair spa day!
 
My APB Peach Hibiscus pop-up box arrived today, and guess what the first ingredient in the Hair and Body Butta is?? You guessed it: Shea Butta! The product smells really good and it's a creamy, whipped consistency that melts pretty quickly when I rub it in my hands. Throwing this into my Shea rotation... my Shea-tation! LOL

I’m still waiting for my box :cry3:
 
So I've been pulling on my coils because they have just been so springy I still haven't washed my hair so in a bid to get it done, I decided to pre-poo with some Elasticizer on my ends, massage HOT w/ ayurvedic oil on scalp and ends, topped with Shea butter. I planned to wash my hair tonight so oiled quite heavily. Instead, after removing some sheds, I styled (the same) smoothing with Shea butter, and baggied my ends. I will wash it tomorrow night.

My hair feels so soft right now but it's also the oiliest/greasiest it's been in an age...I hope I don't regret this when I'm at work tomorrow:drunk:.
 
I've been able to go longer in between touching my hair thanks to shea butter. During my last wash cycle, I washed and air dried in Shea drenched ends. (No product on the rest of my hair, but my treatment that I did that wash day had shea butter in it) 3 days later, I moisturized, sealed with my shea mix and baggied for a few hours to help it soak in. My hair was lubricated and moist for 7 straight days after. *cheers* Goooooooooooooo SHEA!!!

You just described my deep conditioner on Saturday past. I did post it here that that's what I did hon. I had made an Ayur-Shea mix and added to my conditioner, whipped it up than put it on my hair for an hour. I mentioned that my hair was very touchably soft. It is definitely something I will be doing again. It' s okay, you been out celebrating your big B-day when I did it.

Since adding the shea butter blend to my regimen, my hair looks really good. It maintains its shine, is well lubricated, and hasn't dried out at all during this winter weather. There is no way my hair can do anything but grow with this type of care.

I concur plus my ends seem to like this Shea butter a lot. It's not curling up on itself when I use this butter.
