@kashaiya213 - I keep it in a cool place...not necessarily in the fridge but you can do that as well. I tend to make as much as I know I'll use, so I have no idea what the real "shelf life" is.
@MzTeaCake - I made this lotion, but I used the aloe juice and it separated from the mixture. Have you ever used an emulsifyer or emulsifying wax to bind it together, if not how do you stop if from separating?
@AtaroMorelia - Unfortunately, if you don't mix the proportions correctly...I'm sure that could happen. It's also unfortunate, that when I made this video, I didn't measure so I couldn't tell people exact amounts.
@MyXdChiick - I'm sure it would depend on how much of each ingredient you placed in the mixture. For 3a, I'd probably add more lotion and less shea butter. It's all trial and error anyway...when you're looking for the right product for your hair type. Good luck!

I have a really good product for textured, curly, dry, itchy scalp. ITs called the hair therapy wrap! see me at youtube. I would love to have you try it for free! along with our brazilian hair masque! Its a cordless THERMAL HEAT WRAP turban style that heats in just 90 seconds in the microwave and stays hot up to 30 minutes. use it over and over again, only 20.00 all your followers will love it,,,email me, Michelle :)
I'm gonna give it a try my hair tend to be super dry these day and i'm not finding a good moisturizer (the organics one is the better i can find) thank you for the recipe.
Thank you for posting this video... I am just starting out natural and my hair is super dry. I believe that I have type 4b hair. It gets so dry and brittle, it feels like hay! lol I am def going to try your mixture because I am slowly finding that there is no product out there that is helping me. So, thanks I thought I was alone for a moment.
Thank you very much for this! I am going to try to make this over the weekend. I have really dry hair and I have been using Qhemet Olive and Olive Heavy Cream and it works well. But if I can not get a hold of it I want an alternative! Thank you! (And I actually like the music but I like Euro-Darkwave LOL)
I have 4a/4b hair too! I am just seeing your video for the 1st time today, but I made my own home concoction about 3 weeks ago! LOL! We use almost the same products, except that I add avocado oil and I don't use rose petals rose water. I agree with you it's my favorite moisturizer and i find that it is also a lot cheaper to make my own! BRAVO!
I have really dry 4b hair and I live in Canada so the cold climate makes my hair even more dry and brittle. I decided to make my own mix one day and ended up with something like what you have except I used Giovanni direct leave in as my cream instead of your papaya lotion and I also didn't have any rose water but I added rosemary oil and tea tree oil. Honestly, nothing has ever made my hair feel so soft.
That's awesome! You did what the video was meant to do. I wanted people to get the jest of what kind of moisturizer could be made on your own with the supplies you have locally. I'm so glad it worked for you. It's been over a year since I posted that video and that moisturizer is still my number one product to use on my hair. )
This was a one shot "happy accident". I was frustrated and decided to mix my OWN moisturizer and it happened to work perfectly. This is a leave-in, moisturize and go. I've used it ever since...and this video was made LAST year. lol
I've tried so many home-made lotions and potions for my mega dry hair and guess what - so far nothing has worked. Sorry to rant. I just wonder if I'm the only person who's yet to find their "miracle cure".
I've been where you are. This mixture is what I've used for over a year and it has never failed me. I've also never gotten a bad report from other people that have mixed it and used it.
I havent had the guts to try this moisturiser. I've found of late that veg glycerin gives me loads of spots and I'm too vain to have that keep happening so have cut it out totally. As the weather has changed I've resorted to cornrows for a few months and will see how things go after that. MzTeaCake, you're so lucky to have found something that works for you. And good luck to those (like me) who are still trying.
I just braided my hair. My hairdresser said that one should never wear an afro out in the open in the winter. And I never moisturized my hair AND I have been using too many different hair products. I'm glad I braided my hair, because I lost about half of my hair and I was getting really desperate. Around May next year I take the braids out, well I'll braid it about 2 more times.
I get confused on how often one should use moisturizers. I have 4b, 4c hair I believe. Should I use a daily moisturizer or should I use a weekly moisturizer? I dont know how to measure and mix essential oils either? Should I use water with the carrier oils and essential oils?
Alot of that depends on what the climate is like where you live. My hair requires moisture on a daily basis. For instance, I'll use this mix on a Monday and use a veggy glycerin and water spray to spritz it daily and it works wonderfully for me.
Essential oils usually have instructions on the bottle. Typically a small amount (6-8 drops) is enough.
for all those trying to grow your hair long i suggest putting it in braids, then using coconut oil evry other day to your scalp but first put a leave in conditioner on the scalp then the coconut oil, and drink soymilk with strawberries, blueberries, and flax seed and buy this product called biosil, it's this fishy like smelling thing and you mix 6 drops of it either on a spoon with some of the milkshake or put it in the cup. you're hair will grow so much. biosil is wonder for skin hair and nails
Braids are not the remedy for everyone. My hair doesn't take to braids very well at all...however, I DO use the moisturizer in this video faithfully, I already eat organically grown fruits and veggies, I've drank nothing but soy milk for the past 10 years, I haven't eaten red meat in about 12 years and I take a supplement called, "Biotin". So I guess we're on the same page, eh? LOL
Unfortunately I don't know the amounts. This was all a "happy mistake". I just decided to film me mixing stuff. I had NO idea it would work so well and become so popular.
you know i've been searching products for about 6months trying to see if I could do something natural..but this makes sense..it's only seems natural to use something natural on natural hair..great video..i think i have a winner..
For all african american women ATTENTION: I had accidentally stumbled on this product, but before I tell you more...let me say that it will give Apoghee, pantene, dark &lovely, pink lotion etc. a run for their money. Try "Avalon hand and body lotion." There is a key ingredient called beta glucen that protects the skin/hair shaft by providing a second coating. I highly recommend using this lotion on your hair. It's none greasy and after straightning gives it A SILK POLISH FEELING.
Actually to be more specific the main protein in hair is keratin but it is also found in skin so the products for skin usually work iin hair as well as long as it isnt loaded with petroleum and all othe other pore clogging substances.
Wow, I really like this recipe MzTeaCake. I already have 90% of the products you used. I might substitute the skin lotion with Wen Fig cleansing conditioner though since it can be used as a hair moisturizer or I might just try to find the lotion you used. IDK, I'll see. I do want to try this recipe though. Thanks again for sharing it.
Love this recipe. Gonna try it when I can accumulate the ingredients, mango coconut lotion sounds heavenly. Never seen vegetable glycerin be4. It looks so good like cake batter. Thanks 4 sharing
INTERESTING!. i tried to make the almighty shealoe for my hair and i was upset! i felt like i wasted my money buying the aloe vera gel, but i do still use the shea butter on my hair its a greatm moisturizer. Can i use this mixture on my two strand twist of just on my fro?
I was just concerned because I have whipped my shea butter with lemon EO and Coconut oil and it was still having a shea-butter smell. So to add something as strong smelling as aloe vera...
I want mine to be an all natural product, so I guess I'll have to buy some all natural lotion online somewhere.
Instead of a lotion that might have different unnatural chemicals in it, a great oil that has a really nice pungent smell is Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil. It will mask the Shea smell.
Some of Carol's Daughter products are not natural either. I found that out since i went natural. i used them when i was relaxed, but didn't really care too much for them. But you are right, they do smell good!
Yes...and I've come to realize the ORDER in which I mix makes a difference as well. Shea butter first, THEN lotion, THEN aloe vera gel, THEN rose water. When I added the gel and water directly to the shea buter, it never "blended" until I added the lotion.
i've watched this before, but this time i realized you mixed after every time you added an ingredient instead mixing everything at once. i like that and will try it soon. thanks for posting!
I can almost guarantee you, moisture is the key! Try to find a really good leave in conditioner and don't be afraid to use organic body lotions in your hair. Works for me!
Hey MzTC!! I am new to youtube's natural haircare forums but I watch this video ALL the time. I'm trying to figure out if it's for me...I've decided it is. I have very thick, coily hair. I think it's probably 4c. If 5c existed I'd probably be that lol. Anyway, thanks for the video. What's the purpose of Rose Petal Water please??
Organic lotions and organic moisturizers utilize some of the same ingredients. We use shea butter, coconut oil and coconut butter for our hair as well as our skin. And don't forget that under the hair on your head is the most porous skin on your body.
Madam, what's the name of that lotion again (it was coconut and papaya something...lol)? I see why your shea butter came out very soft. I like that consistency.
I hadnt thought about making my own "mix" to condition my hair it seems that all the products I've used so far dont moisturize enough or they're way too watery. This looks really good. I want to try it for my dry 3b/c hair.
I have 4b hair so I am going to try this...nothing except water and another oil keeps my hair from being dry...once it's dry it's hard plus I have a color on my hair. This looks interesting and healthy so I'm going to try it! Thanks Queen for sharing your wisdom. Peace and Blessings.
The recipe looks good but I know cleaning the oil off the processer was difficult. I thought about "melting" the shea butter over hot water and mixing it that way instead of the processor. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
It depends on your hair type? If you have extremely tight coils, you can use it as a daily moisturizer. If you have fine hair, it can be used as a deep conditioner, pre-poo or no-poo.
you can purchase all of those things, glycerin water, rose water and ?ACV at traderjoes, or online but you have to pay for shipping and handling which bumps the price up a little bit.
Is the coconut papaya lotion a literal skin lotion? because i havent heard of HAIR LOTION before. and do you think your hair grew faster with this moisturizer than with your old moisturizer? Thank you for the video. :)
Yes, it is a literal skin lotion with organic ingredients. I've never used anything else as a moisturizer...ever. I often use organic lotions and body washes in my hair because the ingredients are more natural than in typical shampoos and conditioners.
I think I put too much glycerin in mine cause it' a bit stickier than i expected. I have to find a way to cut it with something to tone down that sticky feel.
It's not thick it's sticky...like honey/glycerin sticky. Not when you touch it at first but that's the after effect it leaves on my hands which I guess is also what is on my hair. I will try to cut it with something else...perphaps my old afrodetangler mixture. I'm afraid if I add water it will just separate (water/oil).
That sounds like too much honey. I've done that before and it was actually the Nubian Heritage lotion, glycerin and aloe vera gel that made the stickiness go away. You really don't need that much honey. I will typically use 1 T for an 8-10 oz batch. Unfortunately, with this video, I didn't measure because it was an experiment that just happened to come out right.
great vid. can you tell me your weekly routine. do u cowash, dc, moisturize and oil more than once a week. I am trying to figure out what order I should do things and how frequently.
what do you do on day 2 or 3? I am trying to determine if I seal everything with oil on day 1 do I have to cowash and repeat or can I continue to moisturize and seal with oil for the remainder of the week. seems to me, that I do if I am sealing with oil. i have 4A/B hair like yours and I am trying to stop breakage,
i am interested in your weekly routine. after cowash, deep condish, seal with oil or do you apply your moisturizer? then do you apply moisturizer all week or do you start with a co wash and do it all over again. I am trying to figure out the order of operations, ie cowash more than once a week, then moisturize and then oil. I have 4a/b hair like yours. some nights I sleep with a bag on my head to bump up the moisturize. that is fine for a day or 2 - then my little hair will break for no reason.
I think this video was helpful and informative all except it wasn't explained how much of each product to use. Thanks for the tip nonetheless :)).

INTERESTING!. i tried to make the almighty shealoe for my hair and i was upset! i felt like i wasted my money buying the aloe vera gel, but i do still use the shea butter on my hair its a greatm moisturizer. Can i use this mixture on my two strand twist of just on my fro?
PrincessPoetess 2 years ago
You can use it with any style, at any time.
MzTeaCake 2 years ago
I wonder if it smells good or not.
quitejaded 2 years ago
It smells like whatever scent the lotion is that you use.
MzTeaCake 2 years ago
I was just concerned because I have whipped my shea butter with lemon EO and Coconut oil and it was still having a shea-butter smell. So to add something as strong smelling as aloe vera...
I want mine to be an all natural product, so I guess I'll have to buy some all natural lotion online somewhere.
Thanks a lot for this!!

Instead of a lotion that might have different unnatural chemicals in it, a great oil that has a really nice pungent smell is Carol's Daughter Tui Hair Oil. It will mask the Shea smell.
islandmystic2 2 years ago
Some of Carol's Daughter products are not natural either. I found that out since i went natural. i used them when i was relaxed, but didn't really care too much for them. But you are right, they do smell good!

Yes...and I've come to realize the ORDER in which I mix makes a difference as well. Shea butter first, THEN lotion, THEN aloe vera gel, THEN rose water. When I added the gel and water directly to the shea buter, it never "blended" until I added the lotion.

i've watched this before, but this time i realized you mixed after every time you added an ingredient instead mixing everything at once. i like that and will try it soon. thanks for posting!

I can almost guarantee you, moisture is the key! Try to find a really good leave in conditioner and don't be afraid to use organic body lotions in your hair. Works for me!

Hey MzTC!! I am new to youtube's natural haircare forums but I watch this video ALL the time. I'm trying to figure out if it's for me...I've decided it is. I have very thick, coily hair. I think it's probably 4c. If 5c existed I'd probably be that lol. Anyway, thanks for the video. What's the purpose of Rose Petal Water please??

Because it's all food grade ingredients, it's best to refrigerate it.

When should this moisturizer be applied. Morning, night before co wash, after cowash every day. I'm still not sure about this. Thanks

Apply it whenever you want. For me...it's foolproof. Hasn't failed me yet. I just use more of it because my hair is longer now. :)

Organic lotions and organic moisturizers utilize some of the same ingredients. We use shea butter, coconut oil and coconut butter for our hair as well as our skin. And don't forget that under the hair on your head is the most porous skin on your body.

Madam, what's the name of that lotion again (it was coconut and papaya something...lol)? I see why your shea butter came out very soft. I like that consistency.
Kimberlene 2 years ago
I hadnt thought about making my own "mix" to condition my hair it seems that all the products I've used so far dont moisturize enough or they're way too watery. This looks really good. I want to try it for my dry 3b/c hair.

It depends on how you want to use it. It can be used as a daily moisturizer or a deep conditioner.

I have 4b hair so I am going to try this...nothing except water and another oil keeps my hair from being dry...once it's dry it's hard plus I have a color on my hair. This looks interesting and healthy so I'm going to try it! Thanks Queen for sharing your wisdom. Peace and Blessings.

mztea, would it be okay if i used aloevera juice instead of the gel?
dancenijas 2 years ago
I use a handmixer most of the time when I make my products and yes, you can just the juice in place of the gel.
MzTeaCake 2 years ago
The recipe looks good but I know cleaning the oil off the processer was difficult. I thought about "melting" the shea butter over hot water and mixing it that way instead of the processor. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

ANY organic lotion.

It depends on your hair type? If you have extremely tight coils, you can use it as a daily moisturizer. If you have fine hair, it can be used as a deep conditioner, pre-poo or no-poo.

where can i purchase glycerin water, rose water and acv?
btw great vid its a life saver, although im yet to try it at least i wont be a product junkie, thank u so much!
brwnsugar1820 3 years ago
you can purchase all of those things, glycerin water, rose water and ?ACV at traderjoes, or online but you have to pay for shipping and handling which bumps the price up a little bit.

Is the coconut papaya lotion a literal skin lotion? because i havent heard of HAIR LOTION before. and do you think your hair grew faster with this moisturizer than with your old moisturizer? Thank you for the video. :)
rose8877 3 years ago
Yes, it is a literal skin lotion with organic ingredients. I've never used anything else as a moisturizer...ever. I often use organic lotions and body washes in my hair because the ingredients are more natural than in typical shampoos and conditioners.
MzTeaCake 3 years ago
I think I put too much glycerin in mine cause it' a bit stickier than i expected. I have to find a way to cut it with something to tone down that sticky feel.
Sosesm 3 years ago
If it's thick, it's probably not the glycerin but maybe the amount of shea butter you used. Try blending in aloe vera gel or water.
MzTeaCake 3 years ago
It's not thick it's sticky...like honey/glycerin sticky. Not when you touch it at first but that's the after effect it leaves on my hands which I guess is also what is on my hair. I will try to cut it with something else...perphaps my old afrodetangler mixture. I'm afraid if I add water it will just separate (water/oil).
Sosesm 3 years ago
That sounds like too much honey. I've done that before and it was actually the Nubian Heritage lotion, glycerin and aloe vera gel that made the stickiness go away. You really don't need that much honey. I will typically use 1 T for an 8-10 oz batch. Unfortunately, with this video, I didn't measure because it was an experiment that just happened to come out right.
MzTeaCake 3 years ago
that stuff looks good enough to eat! LOL
definitely saving this vid for future reference.

great vid. can you tell me your weekly routine. do u cowash, dc, moisturize and oil more than once a week. I am trying to figure out what order I should do things and how frequently.
what do you do on day 2 or 3? I am trying to determine if I seal everything with oil on day 1 do I have to cowash and repeat or can I continue to moisturize and seal with oil for the remainder of the week. seems to me, that I do if I am sealing with oil. i have 4A/B hair like yours and I am trying to stop breakage,
Aqueenlee 3 years ago
i am interested in your weekly routine. after cowash, deep condish, seal with oil or do you apply your moisturizer? then do you apply moisturizer all week or do you start with a co wash and do it all over again. I am trying to figure out the order of operations, ie cowash more than once a week, then moisturize and then oil. I have 4a/b hair like yours. some nights I sleep with a bag on my head to bump up the moisturize. that is fine for a day or 2 - then my little hair will break for no reason.
