 Howdy everyone, in today's video I will be sharing my ultimate DIY whipped shea butter for hair growth and length retention. These are the ingredients that I use to begin with. I have glycerin, vegetable glycerin and some natural vitamin E oil, some organic argan oil, rosemary extract, which is an antioxidant, some Jamaican black castor oil and some avocado oil and in the back we got some honey, which is a nice humectant and some Ghanaian unrefined organic shea butter. And that's all you need folks for this amazing recipe. Most of the ingredients are organic, but they don't have to be organic obviously. I will be whipping using an electric beater and measuring things out as much as I can using a spatula, another spatula and measuring spoon and I will have a container to put in. In this container is about 400 grams and so this recipe is for 400 grams. First things first, we will begin with the shea butter. I'm using the unrefined shea butter because I love the texture. And I love the sort of colour as well. It's not sort of bleached or white or unnatural that kind of thing. So I'm measured 240 grams of shea butter. Then I am going to put some glycerin. It's about 60 grams of glycerin that you need. I think it worked out to be about four tablespoons or something like that. But I was using the scales and it looks kind of weird to use scales and a measuring spoon. But I will put the full recipe in the description box. The honey is quite cold in the UK at the moment, so the honey was a bit solid. So do excuse the crazy shaking over them. The honey. I used about 40 grams of honey and as I mentioned before honey is a humectant, which means it attracts moisture. It will keep your hair nice and lovely and soft and moist. I'm just trying to show you the virgin avocado oil. I like the organic stuff because the smell just seems, I don't know, maybe maybe I've been duped, but I just love the smell. It just seems a bit more intense. And then we have some Jamaican black castor oil, which is going to help your hair grow and thicken up. And you need about 20 grams of castor oil. And I forgot to say it's 20 grams of avocado oil as well. And next we'll be using vitamin E oil, which is going to help preserve the formula, to help it last longer. And you need about four grams to excuse my shaky hands. I don't know why that happens. But I used about a teaspoon. And then next we have the rosemary extract, which has a bunch of amazing nutrients, but also it's an antioxidant, which is also going to preserve the formula, keep all the nutrition in all the ingredients for a longer period of time. I absolutely love argan oil. The smell is just unrivaled. It's my favorite ever. It's a shame it's very expensive, but I will be putting 14 grams of argan oil. It looks so delicious, actually. I could totally eat that. That was just a close-up of castor oil. I didn't put anything extra that I haven't mentioned. And so now I'm just going to squish it all together just to soften the shea butter a little bit, make the parts a bit smaller, try to mix things up a little bit just to make it a bit easier for the beater. I'm just breaking the larger chunks of the shea butter. It was quite cold and so the shea butter is quite solid, so just helping things along by making smaller chunks. Fortunately, the shea butter is really easygoing and softer. I bought a shea butter once, which was like super, super solid. Even on a hot day it wouldn't melt. But this one is really good. It's amazing. So I'm ready to have a go with the beaters. It can be quite difficult to begin with, so make sure you do it a bit slowly and you hold the bowl very firmly. And I used a plastic bowl because the metal bowl will make a lot of noise and it's not very pleasant. That was almost quite an accident. So I used a matte and rubber matte at the bottom to keep it firm. As you can see, it's starting to look very nice. It's whipping very well. It looks like I'm making a cake. It looks so delicious. And technically, all the ingredients are food grade, actually, they're edible. Not that I'm saying you should eat it, but look at that. It looks so nice and creamy. No, I didn't do it low enough. I apologize for that. So yeah, you can see the texture. It's really nice and thick.
