Raw Shea Butter Infused Recipes

Question

I ordered raw shea butter from Ebay and it finally came in the mail....Now what? Have any cool recipes?

Answer

I love to see questions like these. I'm going to share two easy shea butter recipes and how to use them effectively. There is no point in having a good home-made product if it's not being properly used.

RECIPE #2 (Easy)

The KiK Tried and True Moisturizer


Ingredients

• 10-15 parts 100% Raw Shea Butter 
• 1 part Jojoba Oil 
• 1 part olive oil
• 3 parts coconut Oil

You will need: Container, Measuring spoon, mixing bowl

Instructions
Blend or mix until a smooth consistency.The consistency of this products is likely to be less whipped and more oily than the previous recipe. The olive oil ingredient adds a lot of moisture to the hair when mixed with shea butter.   


Usage
Use on damp hair for moisture then proceed to style as usual. This will heavily moisturize hair. Add a light oil after styling is complete and hair is dry if needed to seal in moisture once dry if desired.
or
Spritz hair with water then add mixture on top to seal in the moisture. Allow hair to dry fully before putting on a bonnet if done at night.
