I was searching the web one day looking for a deep conditioner recipe and ran across that tidbit and realized that's why my hair was getting lighter.

When you make your mixes, don't use all of your Shea butter supply. In the event that you don't like your mix, you will not have wasted all of your Shea butter supply. I make and sell Shea butter, and this has helped me tremendously.

I just watched a YouTube video of Naptural85 making a Shea mixture and pomade. It looked really good but I can't afford all those ingredients at this point but I will try using a hand mixer. Maybe just castol oil and evoo

Her recipe is good but you can still get a nice mix with less ingredients. My last mix was nothing but shea and aloe vera gel. It turned out to be super creamy.

I am glad I saw this. Was gonna mix Shea butter coconut oil and aloe Vera gel. I don't see the need to use a lot of stuff.

I made Heyfranhey's latest recipe today. It's awesome. I like it better than Naptural85's recipe (which was still nice). Fran made hers for body butter but I use it for my hair and body.
