What are you mixing your shea butter for retention

[Sugadoll]

Used my new mix of melted Shea butter, hawaiian silky,and grapeseed oil Did the heavy duty application to my hair, from roots to ends. Plaited hair my hair feels great this morning. I will be using this. Hoping for great retention, would love to have a length check in jan 2014 that measures at my arm pits.

I used naptural85's recipe as a base but added other oils (ayurvedics, grapeseed, thyme and cedarwood) . I luv' the result.

What is being used to wash it out? I recall going through so much to get rid of buildup that it ruined the benefits.

That's odd, im al ways amazed that I can basically wash my hair (squeaky ) clean with just water even though I use shea butter almost every day.

Where are you purchasing your Shea butter? Is it refined or unrefined?

Not that you asked me but I got my last order of 55 lbs of unrefined shea from Amazon. It breaks out to be much cheaper at that rate. If you have the space to spare, go for it.

I whipped mine with coconut oil and it is awesome. I plan to try Naptural85's suggestion as well, maybe not all those oils but whatever I can get my hands on.

Duchess007 I get my shea butter from amazon but it is a company in my town. It is unrefined white shea butter. It is softer than the yellow one.
