Thank you sista Sunkissed for that amazing testimony....

Does anyone else have a testimony to share about Shea?

*looks out among the congregation as folk start a single file line on their way down to the pulpit doing the Shea Slide..*

The Choir starts to sing and the camera hones in on the lil girl in the choir with the thick pigtails with pink bows on her Shea moisturized face and hair singing her heart out...with her patent leather white shoes bless her heart ...

Okay, Ladies!

I just bought 1lb each of the Cleopatra's :egypt:Choice Gold and Ivory Shea Butter, using code 24ONLY.

I finally made it through the whole thread.

This thread reminds me of "old skool" LHCF, :yep: Everyone having a good time and learning at the same time.

Thank you all for droppin' knowledge nuggets and research bombs throughout the thread!

I always say "Prevention is the key to Retention." I'm claiming increased retention in 2018 for all of my e-sistahs.

Tonight I had one of the best wash days in MONTHS! Actually, almost a year. For the past year, my hair has been breaking off and dry as the dickens. The texture changed so drastically and it felt so lifeless and limp that I got most of it chopped off at the beginning of January. I think I needed the cut because my ends were split so far up the shaft, but I've washed my hair at least 3x since then and didn't notice much of a change in terms of my hair health.

But TONIGHT! I began with @Chicoro's prepoo using AVJ and EVOO only. I remember the first time I did it, I *think* I used coconut oil (because I'm sure I would've followed the instructions to the tee) and those results were AMAZING, but I've never been able to get my hair to be as soft and moisturized since the first time. The coconut oil every time after the first time always left my hair coated and feeling yucky. So tonight, I only used EVOO. I then washed with my Jakaela Marshamallow Root Shampoo Bar (that finally I received after a month, grrr). For the first time in ages, my hair didn't feel stripped, tangled, and hard and I realize regular sulfate-laden shampoo is not my friend! And then I did a cassia gloss (cassia, amla, bhringraj powder, aloe vera powder, distilled water, tj tea tree conditioner). I sat under the dryer for an hour with it on. It didn't stop my breakage at all, but my curls were popping! I followed up with an ACV rinse when I washed out the cassia gloss (the acv made my hair so soft! eureka!!) and then I deep conditioned using a few store brought conditioners I needed to use up.

At this point, my hair felt soooooo good, it was dripping with moisture and my curls looked the best I've ever seen them in a while. I twisted my hair using APB Ayurveda Hair Creme, Bhringraj oil, and sealed with my Jakaela whipped shea butter. All night, I've been like "WTF! How is it that EVERYTHING I'm using tonight is finally working so perfectly?" I've used some or all of these products before and didn't get the same results. I really think it's either Chicoro's preoo using EVOO instead of coconut oil OR it's that Jakaela Shampoo Bar. But tonight was a good night.

Now, I just need to figure out how to stop my freaking breakage and all will be well. I've tried multiple protein treatments and nothing seems to work. It's so crazy to me that I can't stop this breakage with protein like I used to do before. I have my upcoming Komaza Hair Analysis so I hope that might be able to tell me something.

ETA: And ok, I know this post didn't sing the praises of *shea butter* per se, but I have been using shea butter for the past month to moisturize, so maybe it had an impact on the health of my hair???

How generous and kind of you to think of others. You'll be okay. When you serve others, you get that support back 10 fold. It may not be from the people you serve, but it will come back to you.

Congratulations on having one the best wash days ever! I think Shea butter may have had a little to do with it. Just as you are solving the situation and getting softer hair, you will solve the breaking situation as well. It takes time, knowledge, patience and belief. It truly is a process. And once you get there, you've got that in your memory bank for life!
 
For the FLU and You, too!

Shea Butter Based Homemade Vapor Rub
​
Recipe:
Homemade Vapor Rub (Ingredients)- I suggest you use it at night after showering. Place on chest and on soles of feet with socks. Then go to bed! Only put on a little on your chest, above your breasts in the décolletage area.
​

I stole this recipe from Live Simply and modified it. It is difficult to get beeswax and cocoa butter. So, I changed it and put it here. The video and original recipe are below.

Yay!!!

So glad to hear this. I've been watching the CurlyProverbz thread for an update from you about how everything is faring. Yay, yay, yay!
 
I thought my hair was breaking or coming out more than usual. When I touched a braid, a strand would come out. At first I thought I was having some hair issues.

But then I realized that Shea butter is so effective I don't even have to UNDO my braids for shed hair to slip out.​

The hairs are slipping and sliding on their own.
