I have already noticed a difference in my hair just by incorporating frequent protein, even though protein is looked down upon in the natural hair community. It is not always about moisture, moisture, moisture. My strands need strength before any butter, cream, etc.
I think I may start a protein thread for 2018.

I’m a big fan of protein. My hair loves it.

I know you did not ask me, but I can prepoo with no problems, even using oils when I DC.
It is when I use them to style or "Seal" when the problems happen.

Kinky Tresses Coconut Mango butter is PERFECT. I need more buttas like that.

I still have Sunshine in my cart. Since I am developing a scalp sensitivity to certain fragrances and fragrance oils, I am being really cautious with this purchase if I bite.

My answer is similar to @NaturallyATLPCH. She has found it works on her ends only. I’ve found that I can only use it for HOTs and on top of my DC’s. Otherwise it’s too much. That’s why I don’t use Shea Moisture hair products anymore. In the past I only used Sunshine on my skin but now I will use it on my skin and hair. I’m contemplating using it to grease my scalp too.

You know how we do. I hope my little hobby last past the new year.:yawn:

Gurl it will because you have found something that works!
Imma get my Shea mix on for skin though. Already got a crap load of fragrance oils in my Bulk Apothecary cart, trying to narrow them down.

We actually have some cold temps this year so I am using my body frostings, creamy oils, and other buttas on my skin.
 
@NaturallyATLPCH
I'm glad you have confidence in me.:hug2: That I don't get bored of it.:look:

I have to incorporate the ones I've bought into my Regimen (SSI, Jakeala, APB etc....)

My stuff from Bulk Apoth hasn't arrived yet. I will be glad when it gets here so I can whip up some smell goods.:love2:

All my stuff currently smells medicinal or ayurvedic or like JBCO or something. None of it smells good.:laugh:

ETA: My stuff from Bulk-A should arrive Friday.
 
My Bulk Apothery order is missing two items. My grapeseed and coconut oils! :mad: Y’all know I emailed them with the quickness!

I got everything else and the fragrance oils smell heavenly! Got three of APB’s fragrances too that I love. (The Code aka Pink Code, Green Apple aka Granny Smith Apple, and Pink Vanilla Kiss which had the same name).

The Code must be a popular fragrance because she ran out.
I have Pink Vanilla Kiss in my cart also.
 
@Froreal3
My Bulk-A isn't due to arrive until Friday (for some reason?) I thought we ordered around the same time?:angry2:

I got x5 Frag.rance Oi.ls - I hope all x5 arrive as ordered. UGHH....and it's my 1st time ordering from them.:angry2: I don't want no mess.

I have a Wish-List made. I'll have to see how they handle yours 1st and if all of my stuff arrives before I place a 2nd order.:look:

Mine smelled absolutely nothing like Strawberry. It was a heavy "Floral" scent and I hate Floral stuff (generally).

@IDareT'sHair
Whoa! My friend said hers smelled a little like strawberry and not overpoweringly so. I might like it based on her review. Julie sent me my first 2 packages combined and so did Hairveda - I really appreciated that so much because it reduced my freight costs.
 
@IDareT'sHair
Julie also sent me a free Kukui Nut Hair & Scalp Balm Conditioner to try. I picked them up from the courier this evening. The Kukui Nut Balm has a lovely subtle sweet cocoa fragrance :lick: - not like that heavy cocoa fragrance that I hate so much :barf:.

The only thing I don't like about it is the packaging. It's packaged in those small shoe polish cans I remember my dad and brother used to use years ago and maybe still use but I dunno for sure. It leaked a little too but not a lot. I will definitely have to change the jar. I really hate opening it.

Yeah, I know the tin-can thing you're talmbout.

I use to buy a Ha.ir Ba.lm from a vendor who had their's in one of those tin-can thingys. I can't remember who it was?

Pink Vanilla Kiss is a lovely fragrance, but I used the whole .5 ounce up for my one batch of whipped Shea Butter mix! It needs to have a lot of fragrance (at least for me) since it's more on the light side. I think I can smell it better in APB's mixes because the shea butter or other butters she may use aren't smelly.

I love The Code! The Code (Pink Code) is really sexy imo. SO loves the scent on me. I will make my next batch with that. I also got Vicky Secret's Bombshell. I will make my Shea Butter mixes with the strong scents.

MY first time ordering too and I can't believe they missed two important oils! My shea butta mix came out decent with just some EVOO I had on hand and the castor oil from Bulk-A, but still I wanted all the yummy goodness of the coconut for hygral fatigue and the grapeseed for ceramides.

I have come to the conclusion that my fine strands cannot deal with Shea butter or heavy butters :eek:. I will have to use them very, very sparingly, like, on my ends.
My hair responds better to cream based moisturizers. I do not even need to seal with an oil or oil based product. Now I see why the LOC method does not apply to fine strand curlies. Still learning this head. :afro:

What happens to your strands when you put the shea butter on them? Even whipped? Because today I put my whipped blend of the SB and mango butter that I made myself and it was heavenly going on.

My last BA order was a super disappointment for me. I love their products but 2 of the 4 bottles of oils I bought from them were busted and leaked all over my other Products I had in the box. Huge disappointment for me.
It scarred me from purchasing from them ever since. I tried ordering a few times since then - about a year and a half ago - but just couldn't :nono:.

I will be in the protein thread if you start it.

Oh that really sucks! All their stuff was packaged perfectly...if only I had received my two other oils.
