Homemade Shea butter cream

So yesterday I tried my first homemade hair product! It came out pretty awesome actually. My measurements were not exactly accurate but my Shea butter did come out creamy (as the video said it would). I am very satisfied with the product! I added the same ingredients as the video (see last post) minus the castor oil (I added a little more coconut oil). I wish I snapped a picture of the unrefined Shea butter, but unfortunately I totally forgot. I do have a couple pics of the cream though. Pics below!

Happy experimenting!

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!

Too old mini twists?

There's no such thing!! There's always something you can do with your "old" mini twists/twist out/braid out, etc. I wanted to wash my hair last week, but I totally didn't have any time so I pinned it up with a banana clip. Took me a grand total of about 5 mins to turn floppy and lifeless into fabulous! :) There are many different styles that can be done with a twist out (I'll post some videos) But I did a simple one. Pics below!
