I ALSO ADDED VEGETABLE GLYCERIN, ALOE VERA JUICE, AND DISTILLED WATER TO IT TOO. IS THIS A PRODUCT THAT NEED TO STAY COLD OR CAN IT STAY IN THE BATHROOM. I BEEN NATURAL GOING ON FIVE YEAR AND LOVE IT. I HAD TO START OVER BECAUSE THOSE DAMN BRAIDS FROM THE AFRICAN SHOP TORN MY HEAD UP... PATCHES EVERY WHERE..LOL... BACK TO THE TINY AFRO..THANKS
Try this new product "LEG GLO", its amazzing, makes anyone legs look unbelievable, flawless and flattering,, all year!. im so addicted!! You can buy online.
For the whipping to be successful you may need to get the oil cooler. Also you would need to whipp on high for at least twenty minutes or so. I usually put 1 part coconut oil and another oil like Olive for every two parts Shea Butter.
@MissNaturallyFree I love shea butter for my hair and body, but not my face. I noticed that I actually broke out with shea butter on my face. I'm not allergic or anything, I just think that the butter is a lil too heavy for my face and clogs my pores, which leads me to breakouts. It's really all trial and error, because what backfires on me can work wonders for you lol. I personally LOVE extra virgin olive oil for my face. Many acne prone people thrive with evoo. So give that a try!
@hellokittycutie2003 I use Coconut Oil on my face in the Winter. I do use a dab of my Hand Whipped Shea Butter on my face sometimes right after I use my Sugar Scrub just for the extra moisturization before applying my foundation. I've found that when I started making my own version of Shea butter, it doesn't break my skin out like the one you get right out of the container. I customize it and my customers love it.
Actually try not melting the butters, just do you percentage blend in a bowl and just commence to whipping. I think this is what your aiming for...good luck
i mean okay so once you wash your hair it is obviously dry so you have to mosturize it so could you do this with the unrefined coconut oil. because usually i would grease it with like the blue or green or coconut oil form of blue magic grease but i heard this was bad,so help me please.
Can you ise the coconout oil to mosturize your scalp like i mean putting it directly on the scalp like after washing my hair or anytime. if not what should i use and if not why cant i and if so are there any benefits of using the unrefined coconut oil? please help me.
@sallycooper54 I use the coconut oil on my scalp as a pre-poo (I had itchy scalp and this did a great job at getting rid of it). I did it on dry unwashed hair, I don't use shampoo I only cowash so after letting the oil sit on my scalp and hair for about 20-30 minutes I rinsed it out and then cowashed my hair. Works great with softening my hair and soothing my scalp.
@sallycooper54 Yes you can oil your scalp with coconut oil. My mom stopped using grease and pomade to oil her scalp 2 years ago. She replced it by using coconut oil and she went from neck length hair to a big bra strap length in 2 years. Of all the oils it's the only oil next to castor oil to accually grow and thicken your hair.
@sallycooper54 Yes you can put this mix directly on your scalp (Scalp massages with coconut oil are good too) because these oils are 100 natural and are absorbed into the skin easily without clogging it. Coconut oil is also the only oil that actually penetrates the hair shaft so yea lol
@sallycooper54 I'm not sure if your question was answered yet, but yes coconut oil can be used on your scalp. I also like to use jojoba oil. I think its a lot lighter.
Did you know that Shea Butter is an off white not YELLOW... I know rt I didn't know either the Yellow stuff is called African Butter that comes from a different tree,,,check out shea butter 101on youtube

It comes out nice if you dont melt it all the way and blend it for a while ive made batches it comes out really nice i just let the shea butter get soft not melted.
i kno im so late and u probably know by now but the jar has refined coconut oil thats more so for food while the one u used was unrefined more so for hair and skin...coming from the spectrum website
I bought some coconut oil from a black hait store in east london. It says 100% pure coconut oil but there is 1 ingrediant that says zutaten... will that affect my hair in a negative way?
I buy my shea butter online from a company in NY and their bulk prices are cheaper than what you pay for those tiny containers. Stop buying little containers of shea and buy it online. I buy a few pounds at a time. I also use emulsifying wax when I melt shea and coconut oil together. I just helps to meld everything together perfectly.
hey girl nice mix . let me help u with the whipping part dont melt it .just whip it room temp. it will whip up niceily.when i do melt my shea butter i do it like a double boiler. in a glass or metal bowl over a pot of boiling water. so it wont lose it properties
I'm from Jamaica--- that is some real coconut oil. And that's real Shea Butter the Ivory one-- unless they take the real one and dye it yellow to make it more marketable as people believe the yellow butter is the real Shea Butter.
Wouldn't heating plastic (the spoon and the baggie mentioned in the comments below) defeat the purpose of organic and all natural seeing as the consensus is that heating plastic allows some of its chemicals to be released into food and other products.
I just watched a few of your vids for the 1st time. Enjoyed them! So, glad to see someone else experimenting like I did when I started mixing my shea. You said "Jesus loves me" ... I loved that! I also love how He made shea so resillient/forgiving as we find what recipe works for us! ;-)
I used your recipe for whipped shea butter today and it turned out great. I added some essential oils, but I think I went overboard with the peppermint. Can I melt some more shea butter to cut down the peppermint scent?
@shortybang10 peppermint will take over with a drop. I have learned the the hard way lol. If you add more shea butter and coconut it will help lighten the scent, but unless you as a whole bucket of it the peppermint will stay the more dominant scent.
Have you found somewhere else to purchase your shea butter.? The "flea" market on St. Charles Rock Rd. by the metrolink sale it for $5. I believe the size is 16 oz. maybe more.
to melt my shea butter i usually put it (broken in chunks) in a sandwich baggy then sit the sandwich baggy in a bowl of warm water that way it is melted and doesn't lose its properties. but ur hair is long so u must be doing something right ;)
@deonnanaxoxo :: great idea thanks! i'll definitely try that next batch. i've gotten into not melting it of late but i still get some chunks and lumps so i'll definitely try your method. thanks!
@VeryHappy2bMe : yes, i forgot to say it fights acne, and absorbs into the skin. Its not greasy like jojoba & coconut oil 'cause it goes into the skin like lotion, even tho it is oil. They will grease up ur pillowcases, but not argan oil. Argan oil is also good for the hair too as a leave-in. Please keep us posted, no matter which one u try next.
@VeryHappy2bMe : ye-ya, oh i forgot to say it fights acne, and absorbs into the skin. Its not greasy like jojoba & coconut oil 'cause it goes into the skin like lotion, even tho it is oil. I use coconut oil on hair the night before i wash to pre-condition, but thry will grease up ur pillowcases @ nite, but not argan oil. Argan oil is also good for the hair too as a leave-in. Please keep us posted, no matter which one u try next.
@thegame245 ABSOLUTELY! COCONUT OIL IS AMAZING FOR THE FACE ALONG WITH SHEA BUTTER! I use both and it has made my face absolutely soft and I dont require lotion anymore (and I used TONS every day and still, my face always had dead skin, especially around the nose). NOT NO MORE!
Yes you can, I had a bad spot on my arm from sun poisoning and I bought Pure Organic Coconut Oil and spread it on it and IT GOT BETTER it was amazing, I used on every part of my body head to toe!
@thegame245 Yes you can used coconut oil on your face. I am from west Africa and growing up, that was one of the thing my grand mother will put on us after we have showered with the black african soap. I later on continue this regiment and never have any skin problem so ever. African have been using coconut oil and shea butter for centuries all over their faces and bodies.
@verawill2 I'm from India & I too can vouch for this. I had severe (2nd degri) burns on my back when I was 11 (covring my back rt down almost 2 the hips), . My parents didn't take me 2 the doc but took a neighbor's word & applied a mix of coconut oil & lime water (the white chalky material that some builders use, & we Indians put it on Paan). It healed in 14 days in the hot humid weather of north Indian monsoon season & I have never had a scar, & within 3 months no one could tell it happened.
Hi, i'm a bit confused here so please do correct me...how is this a moisturizer? The word moisture hints at e presense of water and you didn't add water...
Hi! we got various product benefited from virgin coconut oil. Do take time to view our product at - w w w . b i o - a s l i . c o m / ? i d = SULHAN (THIS IS NOT A SPAM)
I recently bought shea butter, it's the pure raw unrefined block version and it has an unusual smell. Is it normal and should I mix it with some other oils to give it a better smell? I already put some on my skin and now I have an unusual smell and I hope there's nothing wrong with it.
Hey Natural shea butter usally smells thats way. Theres nothing wrong with that, it jus means thats its the reall thing. I know this because I was born in West Africa and i have been using shea butter my entire life. U could mix with coconut oil if u like.
does the spectrum coconut oil smell like a cooking ingredient???? & do you use lavender oil & if so does it have a flowery scent??? i really need to know
@Desaundrea if it hasnt been filtered you can find all kinds of things in it, same with unfiltered honey. you have find parts of the honey comb and bee wings etc. just means it hasnt been filtered through.
Quick question...and you may have addressed this...I'm watching late...LOL! Anyway, do you use this moisturizer on wet or dry hair? Or both? Oh, and what are you're thoughts on adding jojoba and rosemary oil?
@jenkidsrus Hola, I use it on both & have been known to add other things. I use jojoba on my face so I say go for it, same with rosemary oil (use that in my spray bottle). You can also add olive oil, aloe, or any other natural "butter" like mango. The sky's the limit :) ... hope that helps
@everythingist007 Great question to which I do not know the exact answer (sowwy). I use approximately 25-30% oil and the rest shea butter so start with a small batch first, say 2 oz oil and 6 oz shea.
@diazragu2010 I'm confused by your comment. Are you saying you don't understand how you can put something on both your hair AND your skin -or- are you saying you don't get people using shea butter on their hair?
Can you use this on your skin? I usually just use pure coconut oil on my hair, but if I could combine coconut oil and shea butter on my skin without breaking out, I think that would be great.
To make your hair product less runny you can add beeswax or emulsfying wax to it. I like adding honey to it too. Honey is an excellent mosturizer / attracts water to the hair.
I saw where you said you weren't sure about the mixing. Mixing is usually for when you leave the shea butter when it's solid. That's to make a cream. When melting it tends to be more of a grease so you really don't mix it.
I ordered the she butter,coco butter and black soap. i did exactly what u did but i just add olive oil to the mix. ty u so much for this vid. my skin feels so smooth and has a wonderful glow to it. I also use the mixture in my locs, wonderful wonderful. My hair is so conditioned, shiny and my scalp dont itch any more
did you try chopping off small portions for your usage? if its dirty you have to melt it to clean it ( you dont want mud, crud and hay in your hair) mix it up, and have fun!
Great questions. I believe that has to do with the actual shea nut the butter is made from. Typically shea butter is yellow to cream color. If it's white it's bleached or processed (doesn't mean it's bad, just bleached like white sugar is). I don't have a preference honestly.
The white shea butter is not bleach. I come from West Africa and in side the shea butter nuts is white or yellow. In East Africa the butter is White and yellow in Wast Africa.
@nightime1000 ~ ok, great to know! i always assumed that the really stark white ones were bleached some how...not the cream colors, but the gleaming white ones. thank you for the information.
Hahahaha! Love it! You're so funny and easy to watch! Usually whip my shea butter first before adding any extra oils. I'll have to try this method, lol. :D
I tried your method (minus the whipping) and LOVED it. It turned out so creamy and smooth! When I would previously whip it, I would still have little itty bitty lumps of shea butter left over. So thumbs up for this method!
I have a question. I just bought some coconut oil and rosemary oil. Can they be combined and even whipped a little w/ out the shea butter??

@VeryHappy2bMe : yes, i forgot to say it fights acne, and absorbs into the skin. Its not greasy like jojoba & coconut oil 'cause it goes into the skin like lotion, even tho it is oil. They will grease up ur pillowcases, but not argan oil. Argan oil is also good for the hair too as a leave-in. Please keep us posted, no matter which one u try next.

@VeryHappy2bMe : ye-ya, oh i forgot to say it fights acne, and absorbs into the skin. Its not greasy like jojoba & coconut oil 'cause it goes into the skin like lotion, even tho it is oil. I use coconut oil on hair the night before i wash to pre-condition, but thry will grease up ur pillowcases @ nite, but not argan oil. Argan oil is also good for the hair too as a leave-in. Please keep us posted, no matter which one u try next.

@thegame245 ABSOLUTELY! COCONUT OIL IS AMAZING FOR THE FACE ALONG WITH SHEA BUTTER! I use both and it has made my face absolutely soft and I dont require lotion anymore (and I used TONS every day and still, my face always had dead skin, especially around the nose). NOT NO MORE!

@thegame245 Yes you can used coconut oil on your face. I am from west Africa and growing up, that was one of the thing my grand mother will put on us after we have showered with the black african soap. I later on continue this regiment and never have any skin problem so ever. African have been using coconut oil and shea butter for centuries all over their faces and bodies.

@verawill2 I'm from India & I too can vouch for this. I had severe (2nd degri) burns on my back when I was 11 (covring my back rt down almost 2 the hips), . My parents didn't take me 2 the doc but took a neighbor's word & applied a mix of coconut oil & lime water (the white chalky material that some builders use, & we Indians put it on Paan). It healed in 14 days in the hot humid weather of north Indian monsoon season & I have never had a scar, & within 3 months no one could tell it happened.

I recently bought shea butter, it's the pure raw unrefined block version and it has an unusual smell. Is it normal and should I mix it with some other oils to give it a better smell? I already put some on my skin and now I have an unusual smell and I hope there's nothing wrong with it.
girlathome79 1 year ago
Hey Natural shea butter usally smells thats way. Theres nothing wrong with that, it jus means thats its the reall thing. I know this because I was born in West Africa and i have been using shea butter my entire life. U could mix with coconut oil if u like.

Quick question...and you may have addressed this...I'm watching late...LOL! Anyway, do you use this moisturizer on wet or dry hair? Or both? Oh, and what are you're thoughts on adding jojoba and rosemary oil?
jenkidsrus 1 year ago
@jenkidsrus Hola, I use it on both & have been known to add other things. I use jojoba on my face so I say go for it, same with rosemary oil (use that in my spray bottle). You can also add olive oil, aloe, or any other natural "butter" like mango. The sky's the limit :) ... hope that helps

@everythingist007 Great question to which I do not know the exact answer (sowwy). I use approximately 25-30% oil and the rest shea butter so start with a small batch first, say 2 oz oil and 6 oz shea.

@diazragu2010 I'm confused by your comment. Are you saying you don't understand how you can put something on both your hair AND your skin -or- are you saying you don't get people using shea butter on their hair?

if you want a whipped butter do not melt the ingredients just mix everything in a bowl and blend to your liking.

To make your hair product less runny you can add beeswax or emulsfying wax to it. I like adding honey to it too. Honey is an excellent mosturizer / attracts water to the hair.
12quillemall5321 2 years ago
I saw where you said you weren't sure about the mixing. Mixing is usually for when you leave the shea butter when it's solid. That's to make a cream. When melting it tends to be more of a grease so you really don't mix it.

did you try chopping off small portions for your usage? if its dirty you have to melt it to clean it ( you dont want mud, crud and hay in your hair) mix it up, and have fun!

How come some shea butter are yellow color and other are white (before you put other oils into it)?
lauls85 2 years ago
Great questions. I believe that has to do with the actual shea nut the butter is made from. Typically shea butter is yellow to cream color. If it's white it's bleached or processed (doesn't mean it's bad, just bleached like white sugar is). I don't have a preference honestly.
glamazini 2 years ago
The white shea butter is not bleach. I come from West Africa and in side the shea butter nuts is white or yellow. In East Africa the butter is White and yellow in Wast Africa.
nightime1000 2 years ago
@nightime1000 ~ ok, great to know! i always assumed that the really stark white ones were bleached some how...not the cream colors, but the gleaming white ones. thank you for the information.
glamazini 2 years ago
It could be that it's refine...other concoctions in it when bought.. In addition, never put too many oils when your main ingredient is shea butter.
Misshaircare2009 2 years ago
In east Africa the shea butter nut is white and West Africa is yellow. we grow Yellow shea butter in my country. Some tribes even eat it.

Hahahaha! Love it! You're so funny and easy to watch! Usually whip my shea butter first before adding any extra oils. I'll have to try this method, lol. :D

I tried your method (minus the whipping) and LOVED it. It turned out so creamy and smooth! When I would previously whip it, I would still have little itty bitty lumps of shea butter left over. So thumbs up for this method!
