Shea Growth And Retention Regimen 2018

[Jetblackhair]

Has anyone used the shea butter regimen while in box braids? If so, what was your routine? I have an appointment for Sunday...

I'm wearing small box braids and I added my whipped Shea butter to each strand of hair after moisturing, then proceeded to put in my braid extension. I plan on keeping my braids in for 6-8 weeks and then give my hair a 2 week break before the next installment. During the break I will continue to use my whipped Shea butter. I love braiding my own hair because I can take out any braid to check my moisture level. The braids I have redone so far feel so soft and smooth and the shed hairs slide right out. This is my first braid install using Shea butter as my sealant.

I took my twists out today and wore my hair in a bun. I sliked it down with wetline. View attachment 422023
When I got home from work I took down applied tgin leave in and my Shea mix and put in two French braids. View attachment 422025View attachment 422027

Your hair looks so silky, lovely and very manageable.

Thanks I’m loving how my hair feels it’s so soft and it was super easy to put the braids in I just did a light finger detangle.

I’m feeling the Shea slide

Well it's been 3 days since I'e taken down my twist (1 at a time) and moisturized and sealed bit my "BAE" (Shea) So, although I' extremely tired I' going to go ahead and get the S-curl going and the Shea poppin!!! I know my hair feels good even though it' been under this cap for the last few days.

*So I am going to do the Chebe/Shea mix as well. I tried them separately but them together sounds amazing.
I just got more Shea in the mail today and ordered Hemani Argan Oil and.Black seed oils today. I can' wait to get to mixing. I know this is gonna be some powerful stuff.

***I will make it to WL by March. I need to be added to that Super Unicorn list. IJS***

This Shea is really extending my moisture retention. Sealing for days! Whenever I want to go in and refresh or re-moisturize and seal, my hair is like, "Nah sis, I'm good."

Last night I made a little mix of Shea butter with bhringraj, brahmi, CP oil, JBCO and emu peppermint and lemon EO.

My bulk shipment of shea butter and black soap arrived yesterday!!! We are snowed in and I'm about to whip up a hair mix and a body butter.

My Shea-slicked hair this afternoon. I didnt rebraid. Thankfully my face is not feeling the effect of all the oil.

Whipped up some Shea goodness today. Stuck to my basic recipe since I like to use it on my body as well as an additive to my treatments.

Used:
Queen Shea
Mango butter
Apricot oil
Avocado oil
Rice bran oil
Herbal infused Grapeseed oil
Fragrance: tuberose
But I have actually come to love that Shea butter natural smell, so I didn't put too much fragrance.




I'll let it sit for a few days to let the air bubbles settle. I have a few swipes left in my current batch anyway before I dive in.

I bout killed the po lil motor on my hand mixer.
I may or may not have worked a KitchenAid mixer into our Feb budget just for my Shea mixes.
I may or may not have worked a bulk order of Shea butter in our March budget.
There's a 100% chance I did tho!

I'm trying not to revert to a product junkie but emu on SB mix sounds soooo good. I will add it to my wish list... I must resist.

I've been using my Shea mix on my son's hair as well. He just turned 2, and has very thick, dense hair, just past APL. He never went through that infant balding phase, his hair just grew and grew. About 5 days ago I put his hair in twists using a Curl Origin leave-in spray and sealed with the Shea mix. Today I went in to refresh and redo some of the twists, and the detangling was seamless. His twists came apart like butter. I re-did them to clean them up a bit, using the same leave-in and Shea mix.

I followed her recipe below that's on her YouTube page:
Henna 9 tablespoons
Slippery elm 1.5 tablespoons
Honey 1 tablespoon
Aloe Vera powder 2 tablespoons
7 tablespoons of coconut oil
Cocoa butter 4.5 tablespoons
I melted everything over a double boiler. I did add castor oil to the mix and substitute shea butter.
I bought the molds from Amazon, but I've seen some nice ones at Wal-Mart or a baking shop. Froze them for a few hours, and they came out just fine from the silicone molds. @ElevatedEnergy has some really nice molds also.
P.s. I'm not sure how to upload YouTube videos here.

Beautiful Blends.

Thanks @Jade Feria !!
I hope this works @ThatJerseyGirl !!
I see she's charging $29 for 2 henna bars, so I may need to write this recipe down as a base and tweak it as I go.

Oh, okay. I remember this video. When I mixed my shea butter mix last Saturday, I noticed one of the boxes of my powders of Amla, Maka, Neem, and Brahmi, I only paid $2.99/box at an Indian Grocer in Norfolk, Virginia. They had a HUGE selection of powders and anything ayurvedic. I paid $4,99 for the fenugreek powder there also.

I see why she charges that price, and rightfully so, because her powders are more expensive where she lives in London.

Juicy-licous!....

 

[healthyhair2]

I'm revisiting Shea butter, but don't think I want to make a mix myself. I got some samples sizes the other day in the mail from
http://www.melsbutterblends.com/. The Hair Crack has Shea Butter in it. So far, I like the way it has made my edges feel!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@mzteaze @Keen
I Agree. Em.u Oil in SB in a Blend sounds

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@ThatJerseyGirl
Yeah. Most Powders here are $2.49 or $2.99.
