GL and thanks for sharing ATIG! Happy New Year 2011!!
is this suppose to be like lotion. an is it better to add sum oil in before trying to whip it cuz i would think it would b easier.an next time you make a video can you speak up some it sounded like you were whispering lol thanks for the video
@vermilla1 actually i do. just not this batch that I made in this video. it's probably time for me to throw it away and make some more, it last a long time.
whats so precious about "unrefined" shae butter? the one i bought says "pure" but its not clumpy like that, and the ingredients says nothing but shae butter.
@Ch0xie with refined shea butter it looses some of its natural properties like healing but with unrefined it retains those properties. Also refined shea butter has other chemicals added to it and unrefined shea butter is like straight from the nut so to speak.
Great video! I received unrefined, raw shea butter, cocoa butter, and mango butter as a gift and although I have used Shea butter I had no idea how to use the mango and cocoa butter. They (mango & cocoa butters) are really, really firm, you cannot just scoop and apply it out like shea butter but thanks to your vid, I'm going to try and whip them. Question, have you ever whipped unrefined cocoa butter?? There doesn't seem to be a home made mix video for this butter out there.
really 'cause i was looking myself. every time i put in "whipped cocoa butter" i get vids that include all 3 words instead of them being exclusive. as i typing this msg, my CB is in kitchen melting down. i've had it for months and have been wanting to whip it so bad. we'll see what happens...
I was trying to avoid melting the mango and cocoa butter but it looks like thats what I'm going to have to do in order to make a whipped mixture. Thanks!
Mango butter is also found at Mountainroseherbs. Did you find the mango butter benefical to your hair product? What does it do for your hair? Or skin?
Mango butter would be great to use in the hotter weather because it acts as a natural sun screen (protects from UVA & UVB sun rays). So does avocado oil. Try that as a mix for the summer.
I may have to order my mango butter from online, I don't generally buy online, but I have searched every health & whole foods store in my area, noone has it or even knows what mango butter is!!!!
you can minimize slpatter by taking a paper plate cutting a slit for the beaters and sliding it on the shaft of the beaters ..great way not to loose product.
You could try your beauty supply store but be careful because it may not be raw....African shops....health food stores....I haven't really seen any in stores though :(
I've used shea butter from Madina and it's fine/good quality. I actually found someone who sells it in their store, but the web site is right on the container.
will settling occur if the product sits too long? and how would you store the product if u make a batch that could fill several jars? would freezing it be a lil extreme?
settling hasn't occurred with mine... i just store my jars in my room in a drawer that i keep my hair products and i really didn't need to freeze mine because it held together very well =)
it looks so yummy. I only add coconut oil and grapeseed oil to my mixture but if I add some of what you added, it may be even better. Moisture is the number one thing. this vid is so cool.
Thank you so much for this recipe. I was searching google for "how to make whipped hair cream" and your video popped up. After I saw the ingredients, I decided to make it on the spot, so I sat here and did it step-by-step, with you...I must say, I LOVE THIS STUFF! Thanks again and God Bless!
is this like Elasta q's Mango Butter? I love it as a moisturizer and want to make my own duplicate! One main difference is that you don't add water. That is the top ingredient in elasta. is there a reason it does not mold?
the texture of this mixture is not the same elasta. i do think it is very moisturizing though. i think elasta qp has preservatives in it that's why it doesnt mold.
thanks for prompt response. a few more questions: how does your mangobutter compare to elasta as far as texture and results. does it melt into your fingers like silk? does it do good twist outs??!!
Thank you for the very informational video. I have a new interest in making my own hair creams/butters for moisturizing dry hair. What do each of those ingredients do for the hair? (e.g., rosemary oil, jojoba, shea butter?). Do you know where more info can be found on the benefits of each?
Thank you so much for the video. I've been trying to make my own stuff but didn't know how to get it to whipped consistency. Now I know that I have to beat it a while. I remixed some I had made previously and it looked like churned butter when I finished. Awesome! Thanks again! :-)
if i wanted to whip my shea butter would i Need a hand blender to do it? or would i be able to do it by hand, with a spoon lol. or does everyone use a blender b/c it's easier? or the results are better?
oh..you definitely would need a blender i have tried just using one of those old blenders that you turn yourself and it was too hard. the shea butter is really thick unless you melt it down some
girl i know excatly what you mean... i think it is really good for moisture. it works really well after I wash my hair. but you can also use it on dry as well.
looks good,I want to try this=).I used too much oil for my whipped shea butter because I thought that was how I was suppose to do it.I never did it with veg glycerine before.What does mango do for the hair?
Will have to try this. What do you use to preserve it? I have heard of people putting tea tree oil or some other type of ingredient to preserve homemade creams...is it necessary to have one for this one? Thanks!
No problem...I actually didnt use any preservatives but you could use grapeseed oil. I dont think you have to not unless you want to keep it for a while. But since I dont have one i have to make sure not to get any water in it because it will mold.
Whip is better because melting takes AWAY the NATURAL properties such as those rich vitiamins!

You should start putting your oils/butters in glass or porcelain containers because PLASTIC "eats" up the oil...aka it drys it out.
