I’m gonna sing a little song.

*********
Shea Butter, and your cousins,
From here, far and wide,
I dedicate this song,
to keep you by my side.
With rich fatty acids,
and a deep earthy smell,
You help to maintain my hair
so very,very well.
For when my hair needs care
or when my hair is tangled,
for when my ends look dry, brittle,
crispy, rough, and mangled,
A dollop or two, or and entire pound,
Shea Butter you’re a Godsend for my hair,
The best thing I’ve ever found.

I keep sniffing my coffee oil and it smells so good... it’s just sitting till I finish one of my current Shea mixes

I almost want to just use it now the oil by itself then put Shea on top of that


I’m afraid when I finally whip a Shea coffee mix it’ll lose this delicious scent

"I’m afraid when I finally whip a Shea coffee mix it’ll lose this delicious scent."

It may.

And, we're about solutions here, not fear. Never fear, my dear!

So, to amp up that fabulous coffee scent, you may want to consider purchasing a coffee scent. @caribeandiva, @ElevatedEnergy and @IDareT'sHair are three posters who immediately come to my mind, who are very knowledgeable about quality scents and brands.

The only fragrance oils to which I have access in France is the , "Black Cat," brand.

So umm, I'm not the one to ask.

 

[Chicoro]

As promised, on the look out for more Shea Made Hair Unicorns. Don't be shy! Share your success stories. Post those photo results.​

Pick up the phone. Answer the calls to Shea-dom. Yeah, it's YOU I'm looking for!

Please don't have me scouring LHCF for some Shea Successes. Some of ya'll try to sneak in
photos in other threads...and casually mention you've been using Shea butter.

But my Shea senses be tingling...

And if you or your hair have been anywhere NEAR Shea butter and got some growth..

Yes, you will be found.

So...Toot your own horn, Girl!

And come on down!


So, let's skip the drama and the extra work for me, and just give yourselves up.

We got all 2019 to be great.

Let's do it!

One Shea Made Hair Unicorn at a time.

Break those long standing length barriers!



​

 

[Chicoro]

Remember, if one strand of hair can get there, to a longer length...

It's possible the rest of the hair can reach those same lengths, too!

I went ahead and recruited some unicorn dancers for the music video.

My favorite coffee scent is called Coffee & Snickers by Bulk Apothecary.

https://www.bulkapothecary.com/prod...vor/fragrances/snickers-coffee-fragrance-oil/

The coffee scent is present but it's not overpowering. All the sweet, sugary notes of the Snickers tones it down alot. The fragrance is also long lasting.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@ashbash @Chicoro
P & J Trading A/ma/z/on and Bul.k Apothecary are two that immediately come to mind.

There was another company that was also really good that I was buying from?

Lemme think about it and pop back in, but those two are good

I switched from s curl to Hawaiian silky under my Shea mix on a whim. I'm in love.

I had a guest stop me at work last week and ask me about my whole hair regimen. He said he'd just graduated cosmetology school and he'd never seen natural hair like mine. I told him all about Queen Shea. He was writing down notes and everything.

That is so fascinating! What did he say that he 'saw' in your hair, that he'd never seen in natural hair before?

@sarumoki , come here gal! Do tell!

Yeah if you want some good scents for your Shea butter then P&J is good company to go to. I get mine here: Amazon product ASIN B00C9358NU

At least you look human, my rollerset attempts turn out like...

I don’t rollerset either. It’s too much effort for subpar results on my part.

 

[LivingInPeace]

I put in about eight braids sealed with shea. I usually do twists so I’m curious about how these will turn out.

 

[mzteaze]

At least you look human, my rollerset attempts turn out like...

My current rollersets are un-good. BUT, just as soon as my hair fills in enough at the crown, I will PRACTICE, PRACTICE and then PRACTICE some more to improve my rollersets.

I just need a little more time for my hair regimen to work harder, faster, stronger.

 

[Lita]

The areas that I have been using Shea butter on,paying extra attention to is coming in thicker/stronger/softer and more wavy..

Happy Hair Growing!

 

[Lita]

This is the area that I have been paying extra attention to..Needed this section to get thicker/fuller & it has gotten thicker/fuller/silkier with more shine..



Happy Hair Growing!

I mixed up another blend of Shea mix today to take on holiday with me. This time, I scraped slithers of Shea from a large block I have, and added it unmetlted to the mixer with the beater attachment. I added boabab and sweet almond oils, as well as my fenugreek & calendula oil and a teaspoon of coconut oil. I added a base scent of vanilla and then a few drops of ylang ylang, lavender, tea tree, rosemary. After beating the Shea into submission, I changed to the whisk attachment, added some ground cinnamon and whipped for a further 15mins. The mix is light and creamy. I used the excess (from the tools I used) on my skin and I can't stop touching myself.

I'm currently testing out different gels to lay my hairline down that pairs well with Shea Butter.

Trader Joes Aloe Vera gel is good. Soft hold, however it starts to look grey'ish after around day 5.

Walmart brand Aloe Vera gel is good too. (Alochol free in green jar). Soft hold that lasts about 3 days. No grey'sh aftermath.

Long Aid Curl Activator gel (green jar) is working well too. Decent hold, no flakes...dries uber moisturized. Leaves a cute wave to the hair, thats partly frizzy but I like the look. It makes the hold look more natural.

I still need to test my Kinky Curly Custard.

The Pina Colada & Coconut is still my favorite duo from this brand. So good! I put a few drops in the washer when I'm doing laundry, and my clothes smell so yummy!

Buy some next time you’re stateside. Order it ahead of time so that it’ll be waiting for you by the time you get here.

Washed today intending to do a wng with shea and flax seed gel. The fsg is way too light so I did 8 braids instead. Now I'm thinking of just returning to my shea braid out regimen.

Have you tried water waving? I've found my hair lays down even better doing that than with gels plus no crunch, dryness, or flaking. I use shea first and then oil.

Yes, it's all I did over the summer when I wore my hair mostly curly after seeing 22nd Century Woman do it. My issue is the amount of Shea I have to use to make it work. Plus I started breaking out around my hairline...(I'm sure from the copious amounts of water and Shea sitting/sliding down from my hair to my skin)

Another reason is I'm only wearing roller sets going forward, and that process would cause too much reversion. When I use Shea plus gel; I can use a very small amount then hurry and tie my silk scarf on it while it dries. It pretty much dries straight with hardley any reversion...just one or two bends that straighten out as the days go by.
