You know what I've noticed? All 4 naturals who have long thick healthy hair such as Sera, JazB, Naptural85, Africa Export, etc all have in common in terms of growth?


*drum roll*














SHEA BUTTER MIXES.

Im totally convinced that Shea Butter has A lot to do with growth.

Coconut oil, jojoba oil, a teaspoon of aloe vera and castor oil.

I don't suggest you use that hard yellow stuff they call shea butter at the beauty supply. Order it online. Mango is good for this too.
Boil a pot of hot water. Place shea butter along with any other butter and place it in a bowl and place bowl over the pot and cover so that it can melt.

Don't melt it over the stove, otherwise you'll cook out the nutrients.

Remove bowl. Add your oils w/aloe and blend using a hand blender until it liquifies. You can also add a scented essential oil to it. Put mixture in a container.

I usually put my mix in the fridge for ten minutes. Re melt using method above so that the shea is not grainy. Sometimes I will do that, but not often.

Result? Creamy and very moisturizing that will make your hair very moisturized and soft.

You can also use it on your body too!

I noticed that my hair is thicker and the growth is excellent.

There are a ton of recipes online, but this is what I use. I also use the Vatika coconut oil because for my hair, that in itself is moisturizing for my hair and it has all of the goodies in it.

Vatika coconut oil
Shea butter
Mango butter
Jamaican black castor oil
Aloe vera from whole foods
Jojoba oil
And I ise Frank & Myrhh essential oil for scent or sometimes grapefruit.
Blend like cake batter and you're in there!

I didn't realize she was texlaxed until I went to her fotki. But, she does use a shea butter mixture. Her hair is gorgeous! I'm an avid reader, and one thing I do remember is that all naturals who have type 4 hair use shea mixes have extremely thick long beautiful hair.

There are other butters too. You guys should check out the butters thread on here. But anywho, that's a lot of hair.

didn't mean to derail the thread, OP.

I think they all have high porosity hair or a mix of high and low porosity hair which draws less water and leads to less shrinkage and less breakage.

And I have used shea butter in the past and all it did was give me breakouts and sit on my head even when I used it in combination with other products.

Best,
Almond Eyes

@NappyNelle you could just visit her fotki that i posted in the first post or for easier access see here. http://public.fotki.com/JazmineB/2010/going-completely-natural/

I personally don't think i could manage all that hair being 100% natural. Her hair was recently texlaxed, seems she couldn't manage the volume plus length especially to detangle :nono::nono: i can only imagine the time that took. Some of us don't have half that much hair and it is already taking up a lot of our time to style or on wash days.

Either way her hair is stunning!

I love it, I think it's hard to fit our hair into this on the go lifestyle which to me seems unfair. But that's another topic.

I don't normally go for the blunt cut but this is the cutest blunt:

Lovely, and helps me to put into perspective an idea of what will be dealing with... Not even saying anywhere near that length, just thinking about timing it takes for natural hair... :perplexed...

:sekret: Darn it, why is this decision so hard, say the person at 19weeks post...
