Creamy Shea Butter Conditioning Mix


When you need a little extra conditioning to your hair or simply want to incorporate some very beneficial natural ingredients into your hair regime, I would greatly suggest experimenting with your own deep conditioning treatments. The following treatment includes two of my favorite natural ingredients, Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. I combined these ingredients plus a few additional with my conditioner of choice. Any conditioner can be substituted, so I would recommend using what’s best on your hair. Also, I did not include any measurements in this recipe. It can vary depending on how much hair you have or have much of each ingredient you find works best for you. Just eyeball it and add or subtract where you see fit. You really can do no damage by adding too much of anything.

Again, this recipe is great when you want to give your strands some much-needed love. Add your favorite natural ingredients and essential oils to make your own personalized deep conditioning treatment. Here’s my recipe

Shea Butter
Coconut Oil
Cholesterol
Aubrey Organics Jojoba & Aloe Desert Herb Conditioner
Rosemary essential oil

Shea Butter & Solidified Coconut Oil

Directions: Add your desired amount of shea butter and coconut oil into a small microwavable container. Microwave until fully melted. Next add your conditioner, the cholesterol, and essential oil if desired. Mix until well blended. Use a mixer if needed. Put the mixture in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will make the mixture creamier.  Give the mixture one final mix with a spoon then apply to your hair. I would recommend leaving it on for at least 30 minutes and covering with a plastic cap. Good Luck. Stay Natural & Beautiful!

Creamy Shea Butter Mix 
So I was searching the web for a shea butter mix recipe to assist me in making my first one. I found a pretty straight forward one and added my own little twist. So here is my simple, light and creamy shea butter mix recipe for my hair. Hope you enjoy.




5 oz Shea Butter
3 oz Extra virgin Coconut oil ~ great moisturizer for thirsty hair. Contains polyphenols (antioxidants) that ward off damaging free radicals. 
2 tbsp Sweet almond oil ~ smoothes hair cuticle, works as a good sealant of moisture. It's rich in vitamins A, B1, B6 and E, magnesium, and iron; all which aid in hair growth.
2 tbsp Aloe vera juice ~ great moisturizer for hair and can work as a conditioner on its own. Enzymes found in aloe vera juice stimulate hair growth
tsp Tea tree oil ~ stimulate the scalp and increase circulation.
