I wish I found this thread before my trim in December :cry3: I ordered some Alikay naturals Shea Yogurt because my colorist recommended it, 2 nights in to moisturizing and sealing and I can already tell a difference in my ends. I have to figure out a twist out regimen where I can still incorporate Shea because it does make my twist outs look stiff. Perhaps I'll try whipping up a light and fluffy blend of my own, or I'll order one of the brands recommended here.

Please let me know if you u do! This is my thing keeping me from shea-greatness I LIVE for twist outs. Like seriously that's the only thing I do to my natural hair lol

I was thinking maybe a 50/50 shea/cocoa or shea/mango mixed with sweet almond oil and whipped to death so it's really fluffy could help. I also saw someone on yt whip her shea butter with aloe vera gel that or maybe like a flax seed gel (I keep wanting to try naptural85 new method) might work

I find if oil and wait an extra day and use oil to take down. sweet almond oil is fairly light (my hair is quite fine) and helps break up and soften the strands

Will "whip" up a quick blend of Shea Butta' Ggreatness with:
Unrefined SB
Maka Powder aka (Bhringraj Powder)
Gar.lic Oil *that actually smells pretty good - Hemani Brand*
Onio,n Oil *stanks - but also Hemani Brand*

**hoping the Gar.lic Oil masks the scent of the On.ion Oil in this Blend

Thank you Chicoro!
I've had faster gowth with Xcel 21, while Scurl + shea butter have kept my hair moisturized and detangled.

We need to clarify 1 point about the Shea:

Attention, everybody!

Shea Butter doesn't speed up or increase hair growth!

What Shea Butter does is help you to RETAIN the growth you get.

So, we gone give XCEL the credit for your growth,
and give Shea Butter its due for your retention.



Therefore, @lalla

Your Shea Unicorn Hall of Fame Status Still Stands.
Contributing your growth to XCEL and contributing your retention to Shea Butter
is consistent with the
Shea Butta Board Findings.

Ruling: @lalla
and her results are consistent with the Shea Unicorn
Hall of Fame Induction
Guidelines.

LHCF about to have me spend all my money! Again lol.

That Shea/mango mix sounds delicious! If I can find some mango butter at one of my local stores, I'll whip up a mix this weekend. I also need to get another hand mixer and some jars.

Ain't nothing wrong with skipping 7 days worth of meals to buy hair products. Shea Butter is truly worth it. What's food when you can have long, afro-textured hair and VALIDATION in the Shea Butter Unicorn Hall of Fame?

Go on, spend all your money! We couldn't hear your growling stomach anyway.

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

@Chicoro - you might be right, because I have been thinking about it and thinking about it wondering if I have reached WL. In my dream, I was doing a length check after the removal of my weave and was absolutely shocked that I reached WL!!!! I couldn't believe it. Very emotional lololol...the sides and back reached around to the middle of my stomach lololol.... Laws of Attraction. But in all honesty, I'd much rather have health over growth. Also, my hair thickens before it actually grows out, so we shall see.

I scheduled to get it removed next Tuesday! Had it in since Nov. 7 and the new growth is out.of.control!. It's hard to detect because I have the Extensions Plus Zig Zag curly installed with their closure. I've been using that CP Fenugreek infused growth oil along with my shea mix in between my tracks.

Let me also mention that I used my shea mix on my hands today because with this winter weather, my hands stay chapped when I'm doing yard work. Anyway, I washed my hands with Dial soap, and I could not believe that my hands did not get dry. I was outdone. So I was thinking, if this is what it does to my hands AFTER I washed them, imagine the hair strands. Even my cuticles look goodt! It was the equivalent to having a silk veil over my hands.

So take what I've just written and imagine your ends and edges getting the nourishment. Imagine them getting that same Veil of Shea. Consistency is key here in order to achieve excellent results.

This shea mix is truly amazing and a blessing. Meanwhile, I have a huge chunk of African Black soap, so I plan to make a shampoo so that I am fully prepared for the detangling and good washing session next week. I will use my shea mix as a pre-poo/conditioning treatment.

Will you be measuring your starting hair length?
Click to expand...

Yes I will be measuring it. I had recently cut off two inches and went directly into box braids for two months. I retain almost two inches from doing that.

But I’m super excited to incorporate Shea butter into my regimen for retention while my hair is curly. I don’t plan on straightening it either.

They do sell more than just Shea butter. :giggle: But you can see by the window display that it's the star of the show! They have black soap, oils, oil fragrances, incense, and other natural body products.

Even more reason to go bananas in the store! I would have had shea butter packed in both arms while balancing a few pounds of black soap on my head...hopping to the register on one foot cause the other foot woulda had a few more containers of shea butter. She woulda kicked me out!!! LOL
