Homemade Shea Butter

Ingredients
Shea butter 500g
Coconut oil 125g
 Extra virgin Olive oil 3 tablespoons (can be substituted for any oil such as castor, or argan ) 


Method

Break up the shea butter into manageable chunks and add all ingredients into a bowl. Use an electric mixer until it is like soft butter. If needed add more olive oil.

Uses
Shea butter is very versatile, it can be used to seal moisture In your hair; to clear up skin conditions such as eczema or part of a homemade deep conditioner.

Word of caution 
I purchased some shea butter and the consistency was not right. Once whipped it was still thick it was not soft. It was not suitable for my hair. So if this happens to you make sure you get your money back.

Shea Moisture Organic African Black Soap Purification Masque 12oz

Today I tried Shea Moisture Organic African Black Soap Purification Masque 12oz
 

Application:
I applied to wet hair which was shampooed 11 days before. I sectioned my hair into 6 equal sections and applied it whilst I finger combed. I then put on my conditioning cap and put satin scarf on top and sat for 2.5 hours.

Wash out:
I washed out my hair in 2 sections.

Result:
My hair felt a bit dry but my curls were defined. It is reasonably priced £12.99 for 340g. Overall I would put on a condition cap and apply heat as it worked better when I did this last time.
