Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[jennex]

Got my 2lbs of shea butter today! Woo hoo!!!

 

[Aggie]

I gotta use a hair scarf AND a bonnet. I only figured that out in the past 2 days ironically enough.

Sometimes I wear my hard candy bonnet, other times I wear a scarf and bonnet, and drape another scarf over my pillowcase.

I don't sleep on a pillow. But I put the bulk of my butter on my hair during the day, and squeeze the excess out of my braids with a towel. By evening, it's mostly gone and I place a thick, towel on my bed, and lay my head on that. When I use a pillow to lounge and read, I put a thick towel on that too, and that seems to do the trick for me.

Wow you girls REALLY TAKE THIS SHEA BUTTER SERIOUSLY

I do all of the above myself. I just wanted to hear what everybody else was doing. That hard candy bonnet truly is hard to @Jade Feria. I slept with it on a few nights but finally got tired of it and just needed something softer on my head at night.

@ElevatedEnergy I don't recall if you posted it here but I had to tell you that dc recipe you shared was AMAZING! (whipped shea, manukau honey, oat milk, etc) Between this recipe and the oat milk prepoo my hair is incredibly moisturized after wash day and I didn't have to put anything else in it. Thank you SO much for always sharing your divine recipes.
I'm waiting for deets on that leave in cream you did a while ago. I'm sure that's incredible as well!

Okay, so I whipped my Shea butter. Next time, I will finish up with a whisk. It was not as fluffy as I thought it would be but it is very creamy.

Also next time I will put more essential oils in the mixture. Another lesson learned is I will break the butter up into smaller chunks before using the hand blender. Shea butter was a flying.

I will say that the Shea Butter was very easy to scoop out of the shipping container. And my TWA is feeling very soft. My mother saw me mixing and came with her container to get her supply. Ladies, this may be the new creamy crack.

Yayyyyyyy! I'm so glad those treatments are working for you. I will continue to post recipes as I discover them. Sharing is caring!

I made an all-in-one conditioner that I used as a rinse-out, moisturizer, deep conditioner and a leave in for rollersets. However, I liked it the most as a moisturizer. I ran out but instead of making more, I made a solid conditioner bar. I shared the recipe in the DIY thread. I've tried it so far as a rinse out and it works well. Very slippery. I plan to try it as a deep conditioner and a moisturizer next. Maybe even chop a piece off and melt it down with some coconut milk & rhassoul clay? Just thinking out loud....but I will bump the thread just in case you want to try it.

I made my latest Shea mixes today!

The setup:

The results:

The recipes:

Shealoe Body Butter
Shea Butter
Aloe Vera Gel (I used my Nature Republic Aloe Gel. It's not pure, but I need to use it up)
Organic EVOO
Jojoba Oil
Argan Oil
Fragrance Oils (combination of tropical scents)

Shea Butter Hair Mix
Shea Butter
Mahabhringraj Oil
CP Fenugreek Oil
Jojoba Oil
Argan Oil
APB Hurry Up & Grow Oil
Hairveda Vatika Frosting
Rosemary Oil
Peppermint Oil
Lavender Oil
Plumeria Fragrance Oil

Ayurvedic Sheabiscus DC Mix
Shea Butter
Mahabhrinraj Oil
CP Fenugreek Oil
Vatika Frosting
Hibiscus Powder
Amla Powder
Bhringraj Powder

For all of the recipes, I threw everything into the mixer, no heating/melting. I whipped the Shea a bit first before adding the oils. I whipped the Sheabiscus mix for the longest time on the highest setting using the wire whisk to make it light and fluffy, and so it could be easy to mix into my DCs. This also resulted in me yielding "more" product.

Thank you! I LOOOOOVE my mixer, it's such a great investment. I don't even use it to its full capability, but it's wonderful for what I've used it for thusfar.

Yes @jennex, I can't see your pics either. Can you reload them for us to drool, I mean see them please?

 

[Aggie]

Is this the yellow or the ivory one @ElevatedEnergy? It looks awesome.

Hey @ElevatedEnergy, you never answered my question...

I often wear my regular bonnet OVER my hard candy bonnet My regular bonnet is oversized & drawstring, so it's easy to adjust.

Wowwwww so yummy looking!!!

@Chicoro and others who care to chime in, how are you preventing the oiliness from the Shea Butter from getting on your pillows at night?

I wear my slap cap to bed. I have 2 just for sleeping. The Shea does not seep through them but I'm not heavy handed with my Shea butter application either. I usually only apply twice between wash days now. I find that's my happy medium between conditioned/lubricated OR grease ball. Lol.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

My shea-bun be so juicy. You knew we'd be hooked!

Oooooohh pretty!! Nice Shea bun!

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

Okay I edited my post. Let me know if you can see it now.

I can see them now! Since you have one of each, is there a difference in texture and smell?

Okay gotcha. I have some of these somewhere in my scarf draw. I need to go dig them up since I haven't really worn them as yet.

Hmm, they look the same color to me. It looks like the yellow one by the pics.

 

[Aggie]

Guess what ladies?

Just got a note from the courier here in the Bahamas that my CPC Shea Butters will be available for pick up tomorrow. I am very surprised at the speed of shipping. Boy when she says 2-7 days, she means it. Thing is, my shipping address is in Hallandale Beach, Florida so it got there today but will be in the Bahamas tomorrow.

I ordered it February 2nd at 10:48 pm and I will have it in my hands tomorrow if I can get down there to collect it before they close for the day. Highly doubtful though .

 

[Aggie]

Ladies let me share another 20% coupon with you from CleoPatrasChoice for Valentine's Day:

ENJOY!!!

Woke up this morning and my hair still feels nice and soft. I will be growing out my hair this year so I am hoping this Shea Butter helps me retain all my growth. The goal is to get to 6 inches by the end of the year.

Trying to have a healthy body, scalp and hair.
