Where in Brooklyn is Zim Zam?. I see Fulton Street but what part?
Done a Chebe mix in with my whipped Shea, I added lots of extra oils to it and now I'm feeling like it's not heavy enough. Maybe I will add more Shea.
How has everyone been Doing their SheaChebe mix???
It's on Fulton St, near the corner of Fulton and Bedford Ave. Next to the mosque that's right on the corner.Where in Brooklyn is Zim Zam?. I see Fulton Street but what part?
@IDareT'sHair @victory777 thank you dahhlings! shoot I'm just trying to keep up! Nothing but delicious recipes shared in here!
@ElevatedEnergy take your time boo, I appreciate your precise measurements cause I can eyeball my own stuff but when it comes to recreating someone else's recipe I'm afraid I might get it all wrong without exact measurements. So, take your time until my wash day in 2 weeks
Your post reminded me of Naptural85's video, when she demonstrated how to do large box braids with these small rubber bands. She used her shea mix to put her braids in. Well, when she removed them, after having them in for three weeks, there was virtually no breakage. She drowned her hair in her DIY shea butter mix! Her demonstration below of her removal, braid by braid.
In the next video, she used her shea mix and another type of shea mix. Skip to 4:29 where she uses her shea butter.
Good to know I’m doing the right thing! I basically did the same before the install. Hopefully I have little to no breakage coming out of these too

@LivingInPeaceSide note: I walked past some men at work today a couple of times and one said, “You wearing Shea Butter?”
Welp, I have it in my hair and I used it as my body butter today. Maybe he noticed that instead of walking, I was just Shea sliding past him. I don’t know!

Adding another Shea testimony to the thread. I examined my ends today and dusted them. I haven't had to trim in years, only dust....and I really had to look hard for that today. Look how pretty the ends I DID dust were.

Hardly any knots or splits...and this is from my entire head combined. I can't remember when I started using Shea butter...but it's possibly been at least 4 months. I believe my ends look this way due to the addition of Shea butter. To all the lurkers and any one who is afraid to use Shea butter...just use it on your ends. You don't need much. Dip your finger in it...just enough to cover your finger nail and focus it on your ends. (That should be enough for your entire head) If you are having problems with broken ends, knots, splits or retaining length...please don't let this Shea train pass you by.
I guarantee you will not see that many shed hairs once you coat your strands with the shea mix. If you wash your hair while in braids, just make sure to do the "shea slide" and slather some on your ends.
@ElevatedEnergy -- your hair strands look like thread. Hell, all I need is a needle and I can take a strand and tighten up this one track on the side lololol.... *gets thimble and weave needle and starts threadin*
After my DC and LC application, I slathered on my Shea mix. I LOVE this stuff so much, it's so smooth and creamy and easy to apply.
I apply my Shea the way I apply my DCs - I coat every strand from root to tip. Then I twisted it. I still applied more to the ends. My twists were white LOL - but it's melting right in!
I will likely recognize the area once I get off the subway.
I don’t think my hair has ever been this soft. Usually I do a lotiony leave in and then a butter. But this Qhemet amla and olive heavy cream and Shea mix has my hair feeling super moisturized and silky soft.
