For the first time in my life my hair is steadily growing half an inch a month. i;ve made every goal i;ve set for the yr hairwise which i've never been able to do. 2020 is my yr though!!! I can feel it!!!! For weight skin hair goals to be met once and for all. What a yr 2019 has been. I;ve gone through lots of ups and downs but continued to make progress regardless. I'm gonna keep my hair mostly in twists until it reaches the length i want it to be in a wash and go. i'll play in it occasionally but i;d say i;ll keep it at 90% protective styling 10% play.

Alright, this will probably be my last hair photo posting for December. I've been trying to act disappointed because I did not reach 30 inches of length in 2019. :rolleyes: :(:mad::confused: Talk about being ungrateful.

I have had progress. My hair is thickening up at the current length. Before, where I had only scragglies or 2 to 10 hairs, now an entire braid is at that newer length:

A really nice lady in Paris asked me to put the process for how I make my Shea butter blend on Instagram. It is NOT possible to use a hand mixer and hold a camera. I thought that bowl was going to spin off the counter and fly across the room.

If you are new to Shea butter mixes, have a minimum of supplies and want a simple mix, you may find this series of simply shot, short videos helpful.

Try to use old utensils and bowls to make your Shea mixes.

I would like to formally bid everyone in and looking at this Shea butter thread, "Adieu!" Participating in these last two Shea butter challenges in 2018 and now 2019, has been life changing for me and for my hair. I have learned soooo much more about hair and about Queen Shea.

You all have been the GREATEST Teachers and the most Supportive Hairleaders (like cheerleaders) I've ever experienced. Queen Shea has messed up my plumbing and pipes in my apartment, but you can't get something for nothing, right?

Shea butter has transformed my hair and given me hair length and hair quality (called to my attention by @VictoriousBrownFlower ) that until now, was unprecedented.

I've gone from a Shea butter Hater to a Shea butter Fiend. I walk around with a greasy neck and a nutty, earthy Shea butter scent, with pride and pleasure.

  • My braids are caked with the butter for hours at a time.
  • I leave greasy fingerprints on paper files, on cupboards, on file cabinets and on other human beings.
  • People reach for my braids, and come away greasy. Didn't nobody tell them to be putting their hands in my hair without asking permission first.
  • I physically did the Shea slide by slipping in spilled, melted Shea. In the air I was eye to eye with my toes! I landed with a thud and a splash in that warm puddle of Shea.
  • Horses think I'm a snack and lick me and my hair and chomp my hair.
  • I haven't bought Shea butter in almost 2 years and literally have 5 kilograms or 10 pounds in my possession, right now. All of it gifted to me.

I'll be flying back to the US, on a plane not due to slipping in Shea, to see my family next week. I will be back at the beginning of January 2020. By then, I am sure you all will be in full swing with Shea butter Challenge 2020! Good luck to you all. If Queen Shea is only half as good to you as she was to me, your hair will be gifted and honored and feted by her as if you were royalty, as only a queen such as herself could do!

Cheerfully, Chicoro

Awwww man, I just got back lol. :bighug: Safe travels!! See you soon!
 
It’s been a min since I posted, but I’m still shea’d up using my homemade whip.

I gave myself a big 3-4 inch cut to finally get rid of all the SSKs and splits I’ve collected over the years from not trimming. As a result my hair is thinner and shorter, but I feel like my hair couldn’t make positive progress otherwise.

I’m going to be protective styling in mini twists for the next year to see progress. Using shea butter to keep my twists moisturized and soft like they are now.

Wow... Your shrinkage is a delight.

Uh, I hate when this happens. I was hoping that half of my hair would reach tailbone by Christmas, but it looks like only a fifth of it may. However, my hair is starting to sit evenly at hip length, which is wonderful since I may not have to cut it to the same length when I reach my long-term goal.
 
I made a batch of whipped shea butter last night (about 20 oz). I should be set for a few weeks. My youngest son was enthralled with the process and told me that it smells delicious (I used "birthday cake" this time). He also just realized that his curl spray is made from Shea butter and coconut oil. LOL. :) My SIL looked and said "Wow! That looks like a professional product!" I predict that she'll want something made shortly.
