Pleasant Smelling Shea Butter Recipe

Happy Friday everyone, I have been making my own Shea Butter mixture slowly, over the past 2 months lol. I used Shea Butter when I had a T.W.A.. But, I haven't used it on my hair much, lately. I had a bunch of ingredients that I wanted to try to mix together, so I figured why not try a Shea Butter mixture. I have read many websites that have claimed that Shea Butter (by itself) is a good moisturizer for your hair. In my experience Shea Butter has only worked in sealing the moisture in my hair. If I applied Shea Butter to my hair, it would look shiny but would dry out and become brittle. So, I would say that Shea Butter is a good sealant. If you apply water or a moisturizer on your hair, and then apply the Shea Butter on top, you would get good results.  I used an 8oz container of raw Shea Butter mixed with Olive Oil for my mixture.

1BlessedNatural Experience: My Verdict On Using a Petrolatum Product

Happy New Year everyone! I hope that you all had a great holiday, and I wish you many blessings for the new year! So, if you read my last post , then you saw that I tried using the Softee Coconut Oil Hair and Scalp Conditioner as a sealant (see pic above). I am happy with my results. I applied the KeraCare Conditioning Hair Dress and then applied the product by Softee. My hair stayed moisturized and soft throughout the week. The only issue that I had was that my hair was very greasy the next morning because I used too much of the product. By the end of the first day, my hair was fine. As a result of my little experiment, petrolatum products are better sealants than Shea Butter for me. However, I still love to use Shea Butter. So, I will probably alternate between the two depending on the weather.
