Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[caribeandiva]

80 pages!? I have no idea whether I need to start from the beginning of this thread or work my way backwards!!! I'm obviously a late adopter.

Welcome! Read from the start and most, of not all of your questions will be answered along the way.

Ya'll, the butta is greasing the world. It is no longer confined to this thread. Shea done got folks, they outside of this thread living like things are just 'normal'.

@ilong just drops in another thread matter of factly, " I bought two (2) 25 pound containers of Shea butter..."

That's 50 pounds of Shea butter. She is not even in this thread and she's buying 5o pounds of Shea as if she were buying a stick of butter!

Shea done got her and consumed her completely.


Come on in here @ilong and Shout it out girl. We family and we know what you going through.

No judgment... No more hiding...no more secrets. Come into the Shea fold.

We here for you, girl. Break free, "Shake it loose, shake the Shea tree!"

It's over. You can release the 'Butta Burden' and finally rest.

We got you. We here for you...

Steps back from the mic to do the Shea Slide to show love and support.

Well come on down to NC! We can start a whole Whpped Shea network! WHIP at my house on Mondays, your house on Wednesday and plan from there!
I live here but moved from Jersey City. Best move Ive ever made..

The move may be sooner than I think lololol....he keeps talking about it.

I'm from Jersey too so I know it was quite an adjustment for you.

Continuing down the road onto which @ElevatedEnergy has so boldly stepped...
This group/association has contact information. I wonder if any of these women sell Shea butter?

A small update:

She has access to ivory Shea butter and the cost is $5 a pound. We are still working out shipping and should have an update on Monday. Since the butter is coming straight from Africa, shipping will be a bit longer compared to just ordering something from the US.

Here is the market where most gather to sell their products. I wanna get my hands on some of that raw African honey too.

 

[ElevatedEnergy]

I hardly ever go into a WW, however, I have family in from out of town and I had to take them there today. I WISH I would have seen this post prior to going. Now, I will go back and check it out tomorrow...

How does it work so far?

I haven't used it yet. I took everything out the box and washed all the attachments and she is so purty! I will probably whip up something on Thursday or Friday.

see, the lady the bottom... I can tell just by looking at her that her Sunday dinner is ready. In fact, her dinner was ready before she got dressed for church. Collards are on top of the stove, done. The roasted chicken sittin on top of the stove in an aluminum pan with that foil covering it and the foil is stretched tight too! Not a single wrinkle in that foil and you better not go in the kitchen and lift it up lololol..... As soon as she leaves church at 4:00 and head home, dinner will be served..lololol Ole Passa will be at her house for dinner around 6....lolol

Those elders in the church don't play when it comes to their Sunday dinner. They start cooking that dinner on Saturday.

Received a Partial Refund on that Funk Butta' I bought.

No Shade to UFD.

This is more like Great-Great-Great-Grandma Funka'.

I have left the bag open to see if the Cow Caca scent finally lessens.

5lb of pure unadulterated funk. And no amount of EO will cover it up.

That scent bleeds through everything.

Can you segregate it and use for melted Shea products? I melt Shea for my cassia glosses, I could deal with funk that way.

Thanks for that additional Tip!

Y'all Shea Unicorns keep making babies , I mean new pages.

I have to get caught up

 

[NappyNelle]

Did an overnight shea-butter-batter: slathered on the shea, finger detangled, braided, and put on a plastic cap.

What I want from their market:

• Shea butter
• Cactus oil
• Lemon butter (what is that??? It sounds delicious.)
• Cocoa butter
• Honey

Stay with us...all the time. And you won't have to get
caught up, ever, again.

Does anyone find Shea butter hard to wash out on wash day? The buildup is off the chain for me. I keep my hair blue black but it looks so ashy after using shea butter.

I pay about 2.99 Euros for 500 grams. So, that's a good price. That's $3.50 more per pound than the price I quoted up thread.

Are you going to become a distributor in the US, @ElevatedEnergy ?

You never know what can happen!

I do not have ashy build-up of Shea on my hair. I did when I first tried to use Shea years ago, though.

It depends on several things. If you hair is relaxed or natural. If your hair is worn heat straightened or not. The style you plan to have after washing the hair. The kind of shampoo and conditioner used. The kind of butter used. The other ingredients in your Shea butter, if you are using a mix. How you actually mixed the butter, by hand, with a fork, with a blender, with a wire whisker etc. All of this plus other components can impact the outcome of your hair, the butter and the hair and the butter together. It depends.

 

[scarcity21]

@IDareT'sHair its Curly Proverbz shea butter mix. Here are the videos. She used the oil infusion from first video without the olive oil to make her shea butter mix.

Oh and skip to 6:06 for actual demo




I add way more shea butter than any other butter. I also add mahbringrahj (sp) oil or powder. Make sure you strain your oils after infusing, before you let it solidify.

Thank you!

I have not had this problem. But I am natural and I don’t use commercial products on my hair. I wash my hair with clay.

Gurllll that’s what missing a day or 2 does. You betta just park yourself in here until you catch up.

 

[Lissa0821]

Thanks @NicWhite and @Chicoro for your responses. I think for now it is best I clarify my hair and eliminate Shea butter application for now. I have faithfully used it for years on my skin with great results and will continue to do so.

 

[caribeandiva]

Update: y’all my braids are finally long enough to be pulled back into a ponytail!! I have options now!! I don’t have to take down my braids for work unless I want to. I can just slick down my edges with gel and be good to go! I think I still will because I wanna moisturize my hair daily. When it’s in braids I don’t. What do you think? @Chicoro

How do you make your Shea Butter? Do you use it raw? I don’t have problems with buildup either. Weird.

I use yellow shea butter from the beauty supply store. Whipped with a hand mixer with a teaspoon each of JBCO, Avocado Sunflower oil mix and Alma oil until light and fluffy. My hair gets dry and ashy looking after a few days and my scalp is greasy. I usually cornrow my natural hair and wear wigs but on days I don't feel like wigs I will wear two braids. I am happy with the overall products I use for my hair, shea butter has been the only new addition to my regimen since Dec 2017. I am fine with removing it to see there is a difference in my hair.

Continue the same process that got you here.

 

[flyygirlll2]

I just made a new batch of SB. This time I didn’t melt the butters down like before. I used yellow SB, Ivory SB, Nolitica SB, Matcha Green Tea Butter, Nupur Henna, Brocolli Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Fractioned Coconut Oil.

I've never thought about that but at the moment, I'd have to say no. My goal for now is to make sure that all who desires has the ability to get it from the direct source. @Chicoro

Why did I just play out this entire post in my head like a scene from a movie? You are a great story teller! @ThatJerseyGirl I was shaking my head in agreement bout them collard greens. My grandma would surely have her pot cooked and ready the night before and had a fly swatter on deck to pop any hands that tried to eat early!

OMG!! @Chicoro - I haven't had such a great laugh in sooooo long!!!


But I can't lie - 50 pounds of Shea Butter says it all!!! I've been gotten, my DGD,my daughter, niece, great niece, sister - heck , the entire family including extended family have all been gotten by that "buttery creamy crack".

Girl ... Shea got her own kitchen, fully equipped with it's own mixer, measuring cup, spatulas, spoons, bowls and measuring spoons. I don't play with my Shea!

I didn't mention it in the other thread - but I'm starting to break out in nervous hives as I think my "Shea Stock" is running low - I only have about 15 pounds left what if I run out?? Oh no - can't do than, hmmm??? I know this summer I'll order 50/50 .

 

[I Am So Blessed]

Hi.


Wash day was the best today because of Shea Butter.

After DCing my hair melted into its own parts without me having to meticulously part it piece by piece to do my air dry twists.

My hair felt extremely soft. EXTREMELY soft. NO SHED HAIRS AFTER WASHING HUH??? joyously laughing.

This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship . .

Just wow.
