My parents visited Ghana a couple of years ago and brought back a big block of the yellow Shea butter for my sister and I to share. This has been sitting in my room in a paper bag since then. The other day, I remembered I had it and remembered that I could mix it up and use it in my hair. So I went out and bought a hand mixer from
Argos for about £5 and decided to make this stuff up. I remembered that
Naptural85 had a video on her mix, so I used the method that she demonstrates in her video. I didn't have all the oils that she mentioned, but I just made use of what I had. Anyhow, I used Castor Oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Argan Oil, Avocado Oil and Peppermint Oil (for fragrance).

I had to vary the measures of the ingredients somewhat, as the consistency was a little stiff the first time round. So, I mixed away until it was the consistency I liked and put it into old jars. I gave some to my mum (who likes to think that she is on a hair journey - bless her!) and some to my little sister (who is natural and on a hair journey).
My hair is in braids right now, so I will not be using it until about the beginning of next month. In the meantime, I'm going to make the 'everyday' version that Naptural85 makes in the video.
