So @Chicoro, how do you plan to do the bolded? I just might do this too depending on ease of use, of course.

I may melt down the Shea butter or just dilute my shampoo with the butter with some hot water. I don't know. It's a mystery even to me....

What's your plan?

Just popped in to say I love this thread and I've been lurking. I was anti-shea (for my hair) for years. My mother is a mixtress and made me a sheabutter mix for Christmas. I finally got the jar out about a month ago because of you ladies. I wasn't sure how I was going to use it. I'm transitioning so I wear twist outs, washing and retwisting weekly.

First shea wash - I was using shea butter daily to fluff my twist out. The day before I washed my twist out was on it's laaassstttt leg. I slathered it with shea and pulled it into a ponytail. The next day I didn't have time to prepoo. My hair is easy to tangle so prepooing helps me detangle and section for washing. Let me say - my hair hates sulfate shampoo so I usually use a shampoo bar, diluted shampoo, sulfate free or cowash. Well, I was rushing and grabbed the wrong bottle, a sulfate shampoo. I was shook because I hadn't diluted this bottle yet. First section couldn't be saved, so I thought. Before I put in a cheapie conditioner to try to detangle I started finger detangling and ladiesssssssssssssssssssss. The tangles and knots were easy to get out and I was able to mostly finger detangle that section. Was it the shea slide??? I wasn't convinced yet because the shampoo I grabbed was "natural" so I thought it could be the poo.

Second and Third shea washes were basically the same. No prepoo, just a slathered sheabutter ponytail. The shea coupled with diluted shampoo or my shampoo bar and I can literally finger detangle with ease and I've never been about that life. It's the sheabutter!!!

I'm not a mixtress so I've placed a order with my Mamma for some more sheabutter for my hair. She doesn't remember what she put in this batch but it's almost gone so...:look:

I may order a pail, just in case. :spinning:

Look, ya'll! Shea done got another one.

I'm glad you stopped lurking because it's messing up my
statistical calculations regarding my Shea-Made Unicorn data.
It's really hard to track lurkers.

G'one and buy your mamma a pail of Shea butter. That's the least she deserves for all the magic she brought into your life.

I guess I'm always feeling extra then, because I use Queen Shea on my body all the time :lol:. I so :love: love how it makes my skin looks.
Click to expand...

Lol The reason I say extra is that I've always preferred the feeling of lotion on my skin rather than butter and my lotion does an excellent job, where I don't feel the butter is necessary. I
Although, it doesn't stop me dabbling from time to time:lol:. This Queen Shea is something else.

I'm going to be 'ghetto' and just add some Shea butter mix to my shampoo during wash :bath:time. The last time I delved into soap making, I ended up with a 10 pound bar. :eek: :confused: So, I'm going to use what I have in the house. I never thought to do this until now.

It seems I'm just a copy cat when it comes to your processes. :giggle:

This tickled me! :lachen:Probably because I just had a soap seize up on me too and turn into a big block in the bowl. I basically had to spoon it out and push it into the molds and it still turned into some ugly mess. I swear some will never understand the level of failures it takes until you get just one success. LOL The smallest thing can make or break a batch. I'm making my third batch of a pumpkin spice soap today. The first batch was beautiful....until I added some rough powder to it that change it's texture. The second batch was beautiful....but the fragrance oil caused it to seize on me. But they were all lessons. So hopefully this batch today is the best. They say the third time is the charm right?! LOL

Soapmaking? :mad: More like SMOKE making!

giphy.gif

Yes, the third time is the charm. Better you than me with all that soap drama. First of all, I was only 1 of a few Black people in my apartment complex. So, already people were on alert.

I can't remember if I made hot pressed or cold pressed soap. I mixed something together, and that stuff started smoking. I had on big gloves and goggles. I almost choked to death and had to put that mess outside. I came outside the front door with that stuff smoking in a bowl, with my goggles and gloves. NEVER. AGAIN.

Who makes soap in a closed up, carpeted room? *Raises hand while choking on smoke*

I sure do. This method interest me a lot so I do want to try it very soon :yep: @Chicoro. I do like the idea of melting down the shea butter and adding it to the shampoo though.
 
I just got my shipment of cleopatra Shea butter ( ivory and yellow). I have higher expectations for the ivory but my interest was peaked the most by the yellow so I opened that one first.

Mhmmm...

When I tell you this stuff melted down like butta.

I’ve been wondering how some of you are saying that you don’t get any gritty bits in your hair. I’ve been buying Shea off amazon for years and I never had this type of buttery goodness before. I just want to roll around in it :rofl:

These two pounds will only cover me from head to toe for a week tops... I need to stock up!
 
I did some shea gliding tonight to seal in my SSI Coco Creme Leave-in Conditioner. My hair really loves this wonderful combination. It kept my hair very soft for 3 days and truthfully, it could have gone longer but I missed running that Shea through my hair, plus I want to keep the ends from getting those pesky fairy knots.

Whipped Shea Butter and My Greasy Hair:

ACTIVATE!

AnnualAdvancedGrebe-size_restricted.gif


Form of: My braids in a baggied bun!

I figured it out for me. I realized that I absolutely love and adore my Shea butter whipped to a light, buttery, melt in hair perfection. This is a huge part of the pleasure of using Shea butter for me. But, my hair is so greasy that as soon as I wash my hoodie and put it on, it's right back greasy within seconds. So, what I do is just pull my freshly Shea greased braids back into my ponytail, put them inside a baggie and put a knee hi over that.

Voila! It's Bagging My Hair 2.0!

Now I can enjoy my delicious, buttery whipped Shea butter mix and keep my clothes and the manilla files at work grease print free!

YES!
​
 
The baggy protects my ends throughout my work day, protects my clothes and it allows me to enjoy Shea butter on my hair the way I love to enjoy it. It's not super cute.

Now, I'm protecting my hair all day and doing my Hair Ends Routine with castor oil, at night. It is so simple and finally came together for me today!

Two pounds for an entire week? What? You slipping, 'cause you definitely ain't Shea Sliding! You may want to consider a 10 pound, pail purchase. That might get you through the week.:giggle:

-----> Just playing!<-------
