I was reading through last years challenge and saw where some of you were mixing chebe powder in your mixes. How did that go for you that tried it? I have a chebe oil infusion that’s been marinating for almost a year that I forgot about. I did a search and saw where @Lita was using a chebe infusion on her hair. Has anyone tried mixing the chebe infused oil into their Shea butter instead of the powder?

Welp, here’s my Shea butter mix:

6 oz Shea Butter
1.5 oz Shea Nut Oil
1 oz chebe-infused sunflower oil
1 tbs herbal infused oil
2 tsp vegetable glycerin

This filled a 500 ml mason jar once it was whipped. Think I’ll be good for a minute .

Hi! Yes I remember you and quite a few ladies here in this challenge, it’s nice to see you all are still here teaching and learning and growing glorious hair! I didn’t think anyone would remember me, though lol.:yawn:

We (people with albinism) just celebrated International Albinism Awareness Day on June 13th! There has been a lot going on in the countries most affected by albino mutilations in recent years, they are trying to crack down and educate people about albinism, and providing more services for those affected by the discrimination and prosecuting those carrying out the attacks. So, that’s one of the positives that has come from the Under The Same Sun organization. thanks for taking time to learn about and to join even if it was for a short time.:thankyou:

ETA My mix turned out very light a fluffy and my hair feels awesome today! I like it a lot. Gonna make my friends some at work (passing my LHCF degree/education/knowledge on to my Afro textured hair sisters).

Let me clarify. When @caribeandiva says, "Back there," She doesn't mean as in it has re-grown. She means, "I'm surprised my hair is at the length of armpit so quickly [since I started my Shea butter journey]. "

This is a new length barrier for her! She had never grown her hair past her collarbone, until 2018. Now, she is at armpit length. She will be at even, bra-strap in December 2019.

Thank you!!! Yes the longest my hair was before was collarbone length. I’m gonna buy me a Sonic coconut milkshake to celebrate. :bdance:
I receive everything you said and claim it as done! BSL by December 2019 y’all! I’ve said it before and I’m never gonna stop saying it: if you’ve been on this hair journey for years and don’t have long hair yet don’t give up. Something in your regimen needs to be fixed. That’s all. Hang in there.

Congratulations!!!!!:toocool:
 
So I’m thinking about formulating my own products.

I do enjoy commercial brands. Mostly for convenience, but I just feel most of the store bought stuff is a bit of a waste of money. Concerning conditioners, I have been having to buy 2-3 at a time, because I go through them so much. Same with deep conditioners, and even reasonably priced ones can rack up money quickly if I need to buy quite a bit of them.

Making my own stuff will just be cheaper because I can make bulks of product and save the rest.

I still have quite a bit of BTMS 50 emulsion beads at my mothers house, and I’ve been wanting to make banana, avocado, sweet potato, almond milk, yogurt, berry blend, herbal, oatmeal, and other natural holistic masks and conditioners.

I understand BTMS 50/25 isn’t completely natural, but it’s a very mild and moisturizing ingredient that plays well with almost anything I’ve added it to in the past.

And the creations I can see myself making with Shea Butter are endless.

So if anyone wants to throw recipes my way please do. I’m determined to try and test all of them.

You should check out the DIY thread. I would link it but it shouldn't be hard to find. Ladies have posted many a recipe in that thread, including @ElevatedEnergy.

For those purchasing through 3CayG, what were your shipping times like? Also, is it better to get the filtered or the unfiltered Shea butter ? I want to order a pail, but they are out of the unfiltered....

I recently ordered. It usually ships in 2-3 business days and arrives around 2 days later. So about 5 days total depending on what day of the week you placed your order. I've only ever purchased the unrefined so I cant compare.
 
I'm back to curly. My blowout lasted 10 days in the humidity using Shea to wrap at night and Shea for the take down. Surprisingly my hair never got heavy. It just seemed to keep it soft and keep it from swelling.

Since its 90 degrees or more everyday and I am doing a workout challenge with DD I have been doin wash n go's about every 4 days. After I add my conditioner and gel I add my Shea mix. I may also add shea on my refresh day after i spritz if it feels dry before hand. I keep it pretty simple.

I'm about to soak some coffee beans and get my skin right for these beach days!
 
Welp, tonight I decided to try a curl activator for a moisturizer and went to pick up some Cantu Curl Activator. I lightly spritzed my hair with my aloe/water mix and then applied the Cantu Activator, finally sealing with my shea whip. My hair feels so moisturized that it feels wet, lol. Well, is feels seriously moist. I like it. I'll see how I feel about it after using it for a few weeks.

Oh, and I experienced the shea slide as well. My shed hair just slides right on out without having to comb though. Nice.
