You received a gift for being inspirational and still paid it forward with gifting ... you’re my type of gyal

Giving gives me the warm fuzzies

Giving gives me the warm fuzzies

ditto... it just makes u feel good. especially when the person u give to really appreciates it.

Thank you!!! Yes the longest my hair was before was collarbone length. I’m gonna buy me a Sonic coconut milkshake to celebrate.
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.

Congrats!!!! This is so exciting. Also inspiring. I am hoping to break APL this year which would be crazzzzzy because I literally don’t think my hair has been that long since I was like 5 years old I am inspired and determined to have long but most importantly strong thick healthy hair!!

My lil banded curl-activated Shea-Pony . Feels so juicy!

So juicy!! I can’t wait til all my hair is long enough to pull in one (them front hairs smh layers and bangs take forever to grow out lol)

It's great! No flakes at all- I could tell it would be ok as I rubbed a little on my hand, the shea just melted. I didn't get the 'greyness' I can get when I add shea to my wet hair before my gel. This greyness usually goes away once my hair dries, and the shea sinks in but it's good to know I won't get it with this method. My hair was smooth and shiny but I believe last week, my sebum had more contribution in the whole length of my hair looking particularly shiny and feeling especially smooth.

Looking like a baby!! Hair beautiful skin beautiful smile beautiful — go girl!!!

Weave checked by my whole family. Even dh, even though they know I haven't worn weave since about 2002. My auntie literally groped my hair.

Who gon check me boo ?!! Definitely a compliment!! to the power of queen shea helps retain length yes but I’ve noticed there’s an improvement in the overall quality texture health feel of the hair too!!

What we do when quality Shea butter comes to our attention:

When you realize that Shea butter has kept your hair moist for three (3) days straight without a re-do:

(Did you notice EVEN the doctors are black!)​

How every body in the Shea butter thread reacts when someone talks about how Shea butter 'dries out afro hair'...

 

[Chicoro]

How we be looking when someone posts a picture of their progress with Shea butter, right before they get nominated and inducted into the Shea Made Hair Unicorn Hall of Fame:

How your "Before" photo looks to you,
now that you've been using Shea butter for an extended period of time.

Here’s my friend’s sweet daughter holding her whipped shea butter gift! She said she loves it and has been using on her skin and her hair. She’s teaching swimming for the summer, so her skin and hair are loving the Shea. And check out her juicy twists!

 

[caribeandiva]

I took down my bun and had my sister snap a quick pic. I’m still having a hard time believing that I’m really APL. I wanted photographic evidence! It feels surreal after all the years of struggle. Like it was that simple this whole time?! Maybe that’s why I’m having such a hard time coming to grips with this. I expected it to be harder. I’m so grateful. You live and you learn. Thank you @Chicoro

Mixed up a small batch of Shea Mix.

Ordered some Nilotica from 3cayG. I just got the small one for 9$, then mixed it with my remaining Shea Butter, Almond Oil, and a bit of Coconut Oil, to make one batch that should last me for the entirety of July

I also did another test run on my skin, specifically my tattoos to see how it does with my color.

First one is washed skin, dried, then regular store bought lotion applied

Second one is washed skin, dried, but with my Shea Mix.

It deepened the black in my tattoo so nicely. Gosh I love it. Gonna really focus it on all my other tattoos. Especially the one on my back since it peels sometimes, depending on what it is I’m wearing.

Will be uploading pictures of my hair after I wash it tonight.

Your hair looks to be 1 inch past armpit length. And your hair looks to be about four (4) inches from bra strap length.

It's so thick and the texture is gorgeous.

Alright so full check in:

*sharp inhale*

Wash day. Wasn’t as frustrating as I thought it was going to be since I hadn’t put a brush to my head in over a month.

1. Pre-poo (Renpure ACV rinse), scalp only
2. Shampoo (Hair Food Manuka Honey and Apricot moisturizing shampoo - now my absolute fav shampoo)
3. Condition (Renpure Tea Tree and Lemon grass conditioner)
4. Detangled in four sections under running water
5. Deep Conditioned with a new product I found on Etsy. Y’all this stuff is so frothy and light. I love it.

6. Rinse
7. Leave ins (applied the Hair mask as a leave in since it’s light enough and I really like it)
8. Shea Butter Mix

This is all of the shedding that came out
Sorry for the globs of old product in it still

This is what my hair is looking like

Whatever that shop formulated that hair mask with it does a pretty good job of softening my new growth. So much so, that it felt like I relaxed it. I was like “hold up, I know they ain’t just put straightening stuff in here?!” But nah, just good formulation.

Length shot

Y’all I’m so ready to just hit my goal length!! Just get there already hair feets!!!

I had half a mind to put my hair up in some plaits, but I was so done with this wash day I just split down my hair down the middle and did two high buns and slapped my bonnet on. I’m tired y’all.

Peace out beauties

Coffee Infused Oil Shea Butter Mix and exfoliation:​

My burn scars have gone from black, to dark brown to lighter brown. If I were to bare my legs the scars would still look dark. But, I can see a difference, myself.

Ladies who use safflower oil in their mixes, is it the high linoleic or the high oleic one?

I just use a safflower oil found on my cooking oil aisle at the grocers, so I’m not sure.

 

[GGsKin]

Ladies who use safflower oil in their mixes, is it the high linoleic or the high oleic one?
