Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[caribeandiva]

This is exactly how Im looking at all @ElevatedEnergy hair. I really just had tears. Wondering if I will ever get there. No I think Im jealous and pissed. I dont know why. I have all types of emotions right now...

Awww... you can do it! We both can!

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Not really. Truth be told...I'm not 100% comfortable in my DIY endeavors yet, as I have not made a full year of doing it. I share stuff here because you Ladies are my e-sisters and are more forgiving if a recipe I share doesnt work in your favor, as you guys know everything does not work the same for different heads. Plus I dont care to film, edit, upload and all that jazz that comes with being on YouTube. I'd rather snap a few pics, share here and be done with it. LOL. I may start an instagram account specifically for hair in the future though...that I am open to.

Woweeeeeh! Go Girl! Go Girl! You have gone.

Please post in the Vicariously thread.

I understand, I understand .
Ima shake it off, but if only I had just went natural sooner. hurry up Time .

keep up the good work @ElevatedEnergy

But at least we all know what to do to get there! Even if "there" is waaaaay ova ther-r-re. Aaahhhh

 

[Aggie]

I need to get to mixing up some SB in with some other ayurveda powders to add to my deep conditioner tomorrow .

 

[I Am So Blessed]

To add to the SB hype, I do remember a while back I picked up a small tub of SB (99 cents) at the check out of the BSS. I melted it and added it to my Hollywood Beauty Cholesterol DC. My hair did feel Softer while rinsing it out. It felt very good.

 

[keranikki]

Ok. I use my Whip Shea 2x a week. And I really put it on. How often is everyone using there mix? Taking down and redoing their plaits, twists, buns, braids or whatever... Becayse mines last a very long time. I may not need to mix for a month.
I made 2 of the small glass containers in Shea and 2 in Shea/Chebe.

I use mine as needed, mainly for sealing. My batches last me one month on average.

 

[keranikki]

10 more pages to go…whew, I will never miss another day again. lol

I’m still Shea sliding. I just tried APB for the first time. I love the texture of her butter. It’s like frozen yogurt and it smells divine.

I love my Shea mix better though.

@ElevatedEnergy said:

"This is important to me because along with my nape, the left side of my hair breaks faster than the rest of my hair. Adding Shea definitely gives those areas a bit more "protection" and in return they are starting to catch up to the rest of my hair."

Wait a minute! Did I READ that correctly?
How long is the rest of your hair???

Queen Shea and
Hair Feets,don't fail me now!


Calling all Shea -fanatics, "Get in here and see her hair!"

@Chicoro I am loving "hair feets"

The hair that I showed in the pics are from one roller takedown on my left lower recycled part. My hair grows in a "V" shape so the point of the V is a bit longer than what I showed. (My middle section) The right section is a bit longer than the left but not as long as the middle with the V. I say all this to say...that I no longer can label my length. It's all different. LOL However all of it still hits some part of my butt. LOL


*********
Here's a tip for the group and how I'm starting to learn more about my hair, how each area of it behaves and how I treat it.

At the beginning of the year, I started recycling my parts. I took the time to make clean parts. I divided my hair in 3 big vertical sections...imagine how it looks when one does a mohawk rollerset. Broke that down again. So I have 9 parts total. This is how I handle my hair and every thing is so much easier. When I wash, I group it back up in the original 3 sections and wash that way. When I moisturize or strand seperate, I go back to the 9. Now here's what my hair taught me while doing this:

1) Because I am right handed, when I go to do anything to my hair: I out of habit, always reach for the bottom left section . Perhaps it is why that area had a small amount of breakage. It gets the most manipulation.
2) My entire middle row of hair is not rough or course at all like I used to think. It is the strongest but it is the most tangle prone.
3) My right side has less hair than my left side but it is longer.
4) My nape suffered because out of habit, I handled it last....So it got the "hurry up and finish rush job"

Please always be open to continue learning new things about your hair and yourself. I have learned to take my time with each area. Some days I only touch 1 or 2 parts LOL.

I shop here too @Chicoro but I really don't need another pound of shea butter right now. I actually have about 14 pounds in my stash as we speak. Thanks for sharing though because if I did need some, I would pounce on this one like a cat on a rat

In the process of whipping up some shea goodness

 

[Taleah2009]

Oohhh she’s butter is such a magical unicorn. I melted it down using the double boil method and froze it. I left it in the freezer for about 2 hours by accident. I started whipping it and got super nervous. It didn’t look like it would whip. I then turned up the blender and bingo! Started seeing some action. As it whipped the color started to change. Truly amazed

Hello my fellow Sheabutterians!!!

I was in North Carolina this whole entire week and got back home yesterday. I have a feeling I will be back down there soon, but anywho, I was in a store called Roses in Greenville, NC. I actually love it down there. I don't know what it is about the air but every time I am there, I feel soooo relaxed and I just want to sleep. It's so peaceful and calm there. I digress....

I was walking around, just browsing and came across a large tub of unrefined shea butter both beige and yellow for $7.99. I knew I needed more, but figured when I got back home, I would order some more.

I walked to the front of the store, grabbed a cart and loaded up.....

 

[ThatJerseyGirl]

The 15 oz tub of the unrefined shea butter was 7.49 and the yellow unrefined shea butter was 4.99. Not bad at all, and I didn't have to pay for shipping, etc. I purchased several tubs, fyi. Almost cleaned them out, so if you have a Roses in your area, check them out. They may have it.

 

[YvetteWithJoy]

Thank up I to whoever suggested the Shea butter mix for hair by Jakala on etsy. I love the ingredients.

You're more than welcome. I love the stuff. I special request it in her peach scent.

At first I thought I was going to need future jars to be scented at 70% strength, but now I'm not so sure: The strength of the scent seems to calm down over time, I think.

@ElevatedEnergy welcome to the Shea made unicorn hall of fame!!

 

[NCHairDiva]

So I just ordered the Shea Butter that @Chicoro posted!!! I am happy that I got it, now I can rest easily, lol. The shipping price was WAAAY crazy but at least I have enough to last me the rest of the year..or until there is a sale or something. I cant wait for it to get here I am soooo excited for it. Oh did I mention that they gave me an extra pound free! (look at God!)
Now I need to get todays hair struggle going. I think I settled Wetting my hair first and doing the Clay Mask, then shampoo, then I will use the Shea & Oats bars (leaving it on for about 2 hours while I work at bit), after that I plan on deep conditioning with a mixture of several Joico conditioner mixed together...I also add Giovoni Deep Conditioner and 2 big table spoons of Whipped Shea. I will be sitting under my electric heating cap for about an hour or so!!! Then its back to my twist.

Oh Wow!!! I live about 45mins from Greenville. I had no idea they had Shea Butter at Roses... I just bout 8lbs of Shea using the info that @Chicoro posted and they gave me 1lb free. I am elated... So I think I have enough to last me the rest of the year unless there is a sale or something. But if I run out by some strange chance I now know that I can run out to Rose's and grab a few!!! I am really Shea addicted.

I went to visit a long time friend today and we started talking about hair. She told me that she recently got serious about her hair and wants to grow it long like the girls she’s seen on YouTube. She then asked me if I used rice water and I told her no. She asked why and I said because I use Shea Butter and don’t feel like I need it. I asked her if she knows what Shea Butter is and she said: “your sister gave me a small container a few weeks ago”. I should’ve known.

I showed her my hair progress pictures and let’s just say she was interested in what I was doing. Long story short, we went shopping, and I revamped her hair care regimen. I introduced her to @Chicoro and her LOC method. We bought some Shea Butter at a local bss. We went back to her house and I showed her how to make whipped Shea Butter. I even let her use my new fragrance oils and she chose peach. It smells awesome! Her hair was super dry like mine. She’s currently DCing as we speak with @ElevatedEnergy ’s oatmeal milk, conditioner, olive oil and honey. She’s so excited! She keeps saying: “I have curls and they’re popping!! My curls are popping!!”. We’ll seal her hair with Shea Butter like I do when she’s done. She’s gonna take progress pictures monthly. She’s a new mom so she doesn’t have the most free time right now. I wanna thank you ladies. You never know who the scraps off your table will end up feeding.

I have cousins in Snow Hill & Farmville and those surrounding areas. So I went to Roses in Farmville and they had it there too! I had no idea they even sold it. I wasn't even looking for it. I was just browsing and stumbled across it. I'm always finding "things" when I go to NC lololol! I have a love for peanuts and skins when I go so I always go to the stockyard in Ayden on either Wednesday and Saturday. So much so, sme of the vendors know me on a first name basis now lololol..... I will be down there again, probably next week because I have a fam member on Life Support there so.....we'll see.

Take care of YOURSELF while you trek back and forth to provide assistance and support to your loved one and the family of your loved one. The flu is still raging and it likes to sneak up on a tired, stressed body. Stay well and be well.
