Reducing waste and cost are the major reasons I got into DIY as well.

I love this perspective. DIY is extremely cost effective. I've been able to buy in bulk once or twice annually and spend nothing in between those times. I'm just beginning to restock raw ingredients that I had previously purchased 2 to 3 years ago. I'm done purchasing for this year and can focus my monies in other areas.

I also never even considered the reduction of waste that you mentioned. Yay to helping Mother Earth!

Dang! Two-three YEARS AGO?? That’s exactly what I would hope - I already try to stock up on large sizes to last me the year. I would still probably purchase black-owned hair products here and there to support the cause, but as a fun treat.

Washed up, Shea'd down then air dried in 6 jumbo braids.



I usually like my ends a bit more stretched, so I'm just bantu knot bunning to sleep/or for lounging around the house to stretch them out more as the days go by.

Recently, I discovered my son has been taking a shower and leaving the soap on. It REALLY irritated his skin on his arms which is where the soap was left on. I’ve been putting raw Shea Butter on him everyday, and it’s been working pretty good.

Everyone I need help, I acn't get my new batch of shea butter to whip. I do't know what I am doig wong this time arond. It is the same source as before. It will not whip.

I soften it a bit and then whipped it rehardden. I Even tried this elaborate melt and whip liquid til cool and reshipped it stayed whipped for a day. I haven't added anything to it, any help would be appeciated.

Did you add an oil to it?

I've never whipped Shea butter and not added anything to it. I don't think it is likely to change texture if it is not mixed with olive oil or sunflower oil or some other oil.

That's my experience. Perhaps someone has had the experience of whipping melted Shea butter by itself and getting the result of which you are searching.

I didn't this time, I cant remember what I did the last time. Maybe I did Add oil, coconut oil? I should have written this down.

Ok. Let us know if you can so we can better help you! I would suggest that you use an oil that is liquid at room temperature. So, you may need to add another oil in addition to the coconut oil.

Tell your DH, "You didn't put in on this, man!" He need to be adding to the Shea butter dollar pot for future purchases, physical labor and other supplies.

We already knew shea was a queen, but this coffee shea butter for stretch marks has done more in less than a week than bio-oil, palmers, and everything else.

I'm just waiting to use up the Shea blend I'm using now...which shouldnt be long...and then I'll whip some up and update the thread. I'm hoping for a light, buttercream type consistency.

Yes ma'am....I would show yall mine but I aint ready yet. They almost straight up vanished.

Dont forget to exfoliate the skin in the shower too. That helps as well.

I don’t think I took any. this quick snap when I was playing around with the idea of wearing my hair up lol

But also after 2 days of a big ass fro my hair was feeling super dry. So I took a page out of your book on Tues night.
Slightly dampened hair > used ATON leave in (hoping this helps strengthen my hair) > a fingerfull or Shea butter > finger comb and braided. (3 in the back and 4 in the front on each side)

The braids definitely make my hair feel strong and protected if you know what I mean. Also There was something so nostalgic about braiding my hair reminds me of my childhood or maybe the braid pattern reminds me of our ancient African ancestors Idk but it definitely made me feel a little sentimental. Snapped a pic of my braids today just for you guys.

I may have to make some of this. How is the smell? Does it smell overwhelmingly like coffee? Have you tried adding fragrance to yours? How did that come out?

I'm trying something new today. I was mixing some rice and oat "milk" as a hair treatment and now I want to mix it with clay to use as a cleanser on my hair. I'm not washing until this evening though so I'll let you ladies know how it goes. It's time for me to finally start putting this chem degree to use.

Wish me luck!

I love oat rinses! I haven't done one in a while and I've been thinking about making an oat milk based conditioner in the future.
