Am I missing out? I use regular degular shea butter from the bss it only costs me like $8 for a pound. Is there a difference from the ones some of you order online?

I am still using scurl and Shea butter. I love it. I don’t think I have ever retained that much length. I am now thinking about how long I want my hair to grow. Hip length would be nice.

What does it say on the label?

 

[beauti]

@Jade Feria this is the one i always use.

 

[Jade Feria]

@beauti looks good to me! That size costs me $5 at the store I go to, and $10 for the 32oz. Some vendors online charge more. Even the one I use charges a little more online.

You are only 4 inches away from hip length. Why not go for it?! You've got 11 months to try to get there. If you ask me, I'd say the odds are pretty good that you will reach hip length by December 2018, if not sooner!

With Shea Butter, that lil' bit of hair, no matter its condition, has a chance to be great!

This is me fighting those afro-textured hair myths with scientific backed knowledge and information and using the Power and Force of Shea Butter. Check out that triple Light Saber Spin in the air accompanied by the the body twist and spin.

Thank goodness I do Callanetics and Lotte Berk physical workouts.

• Afro-textured hair doesn't grow long. Myth: Use the Power and Force of Shea Butter to help retain length.
• Afro-textured hair just breaks so you have to keep it cut short. Myth: Use the Power and Force of Shea Butter to minimize tangles and breakage; ie Shea Slide.
• Afro-textured hair has to be relaxed or controlled with chemicals. Myth: Relaxed or Not Relaxed, our hair can thrive with both. Use the Power and Force of Shea Butter.

May the Force and Power of Shea Butter be with you.

 

[Chicoro]

With Shea Butter, you have the power and force to push back those heavy, limiting beliefs about afro-textured hair, up off you!

And stop your friends, families and loved ones from being crushed by these self esteem-stealing, ignorant myths that continue to be perputuated about afro-textured hair.

What blender are we using to mix? I don't want to use my Blendtec. It whipped it well but I don't want to clean it.

@Jade Feria this is the one i always use.

That’s the one I use to from my local bss

 

[jennex]

Still going strong with the shea butter. This is the most length I've ever retained in the winter months! I usually have a lot of dryness and breakage and then it recovers when the weather warms up. Also my hair is soft! It's never soft this time of year. This butter amazing.

 

[beauti]

@Jade Feria oh ok thanks good to know. I see its sold much cheaper online but with shipping costs I will stick to getting on the ground. Will look around other bss for a better deal

 

[beauti]

@caribeandiva thanks sis, good to know I'm not the only one with the bss shea!

Whatever you got girl! I have a Vitamix. No matter which blender, it will still have to be cleaned. When I blended my mix, it liquefied it just enough to pour it (it later solidified into a thick cream), but it was still all over the sides and bottom of the blender. I scraped out as much as I could with a spatula. Using a mixer would be easier to clean.

 

[Alma Petra]

I bought and used an electric whisk and the shea butter was smeared all over it. I kept swiping some up from all its corners and using it as a body butter for quite a number of days before the whisk seemed clean enough to be ready to be washed

Shea Recipe #2

4 ounces herbal tea (I used burdock root)
1 heaping spoonful of whipped Shea butter
1 heaping spoonful of coconut cream concentrate
2 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon amla oil
1/4 teaspoon creamed honey

Throw it all in the blender together. Strain if needed.
It will be soupy in the beginning.



However if you stick it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes, it will thicken up beautifully

That's the one 22nd century woman uses and we all know her hair is amazing!

Maybe I should use my little electric mixer again, but I loved the consistency better with the Blendtec.

I bought and used an electric whisk

I use an electric mixer.

@Froreal3

What @Alma Petra and @caribeandiva both said.

Mine is a "cheapie" Proct.or-Si.lex hand-held Electric Mixer, I bought for about $12 bucks.

I didn't wanna use the one I use for Cooking/Baking.

Maybe I should try the electric mixer again, but this time I will put more oils in it so it can be more creamy. I liked the creaminess of the blender.

@Froreal3
I made the first batch in my Nuti-Bull.et (I wasn't using it for anything) but didn't wanna clean it afterwards on a regula'-degula', so I bought the hand-held and never looked back.

What do you see as the difference between the Mixer vs Blendtec?

The Blendtec was much smoother and creamier, but maybe it's because I put more oils. Then I put the same batch in the blender and it was a lot smoother and creamier, but I hated cleaning it out of my Blendtec! I had a big batch of it, so I'm just needing to make more now. Think I'll use the mixer again though, but put way more oils into it.

@Froreal3
I also tried the Blender and hated "clean up" so, the Electric Mixer it is.
