My Next Project: Homemade Shea Butter!

My mom brought me a container of all natural Shea butter so I'm thinking I'm gonna make my own Shea butter cream. I've been looking for a good recipe/video, and I finally found the one I think I'm gonna attempt... Maybe I'll do it tonight! It's really simple; mostly just regular kitchen/hair ingredients. I'll let you guy know how it goes!


Here's the video!

Curl Definition

What's the secret to the different kinds of curls I've had in my hair? 1 word: WATER! Yup... It's mostly because of water.
When I make the moisturizer mix I use in my hair, I put some of my moisturizer (bearfruithair.com), some water, and then I add olive oil after (for sealing). Usually when I'm doing my hair, it's not just a little wet... It's DAMP. After my hair is thoroughly moisturized, I'll use a styling tool. Most recently I've used curl formers, I used flexi rods (that was a fail) and most often I've done either flat twits or just loose twists (depending on what look I was going for). Pics below :)
