WHOOPI! I am one the peoples who was asking u about ur sheabutter concotion, thank u ma!
off to give it a try. After i watch it one more time.
OMG! I just looked at the coconut oil i purchase and it is refined and urs was unrefined, does this make a difference?
Nice mixture – I haven’t tried coconut oil in shea butter. I usually mix mine with olive oil, but will have to try this. Lately I’ve been buying refined shea butter and I just put it in my mixing bowl (without melting) and add my oil and a few drops of scent then I mix with the mixer – it gives it a whipped – thick yogurt texture. The texture thickens up a little as time passes but remains the consistancy of body cream.
The whipping with the mixer is for doing it without melting the shea first. When I did it–there were still little chunks of shea. I hesitated to melt the shea because I read that it has to be melted at a certain temperature. If melted too hot it comes out gritty. Since I had chunks anyway without melting it, I’m going to try to melt the next time and see what I get. I’ve seen people melt it over a bowl of hot water instead of directly on the stove top–I’ll try and see. Thanks for posting the video–I’m always on the look out for the method that will get me that creamy consistency. I also use it as a body moisturizer and my youngest always says ‘ouch’ when she enounters one of my little chunks in the mix.
@Ms Lucy, I don’t think it makes a difference honestly.
@Laquita, I melt, not sure where I got that from but I do.
@Nevergiveup, yeah I got that from youtube folks too LOL. i melt on low on the stove so the temp is low. i actually remixed this so i’ll do a quick vid and post.
wow…I’ve got to try this.
I bought coconut oil and shea butter last week and have been just mixing them in my hands to rub on my body daily. I will try making a formal mixture this week.

Let me know how it turns out
WOOT! I just made my very first BATCH. And I used a combination technique. In cooking, to make something whipped you are simply beating air into it. So I knew that I needed it to be mostly SOLIDS, however I needed the ease of something a bit liquid to get the whole thing going. So I melted a small portion of the shea butter and then added that to my butter, coconut oil and lime esential oil (yes lime, it was the only scent I liked that wasn’t going to cost me nearly $30 for a teeny tiny bottle). I put the whisk attachment on my hand held mixer (don’t recommend a stand mixer for his) and voila! I had my own whipped hair concoction!
I do think I was a bit too judicious with the lime because I can BARELY smell it at all, but that is prolly a good thing. I was afraid it would be so concentrated I would be smelling like a Margarita walking down the street! I think the best part is that after I put it in my hair (yes I whipped my wig off RIGHT THEN and put it in my hair) all I had to do was rub my hands on my arms and legs and THEY were nice and soft too!
Thank you to the Glamazon for this wonderful site!
