My mix is the following:
8 oz. Pure Unrefined African Shea Butter (hard, yellowish)
2 oz. ExtraVirginOliveOil
2 oz. ExtraVirginCoconutOil
2 oz. Jojoba Oil
2 oz. Jamaican Black Castor Oil
You'll notice equal parts of shea butter & oils (both 8 oz.
) I whip these together in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer until the consistency is fluffy and creamy. Then I pour into multiple containers. No water, means no need to worry about molding. This 16 oz. mixture usually last me about 6months, since hubby now uses it daily on his "fro" too. I don't refrigerate it, I simply store it with my other hair products, like my ORS Carrot Oil, and my BB Oil Moisturizer creams. The mix never goes bad, or turns rancid. The JBCO in it keeps all the "cooties" away...LOL! (what is JBCO?
Jamaican Black Castor Oil )
I use this mixture 2x's per week as my scalp "grease".
I aslo use this mixture for sealing my ends.
This stuff is GREAT!! I love, love , love this mix and its a keeper for me & the family.
