Mixing Shea Butter.

Bonjour peeps! So, I've always wanted to mix my own Shea Butter seeing how the lovely ladies on youtube and natural hair sites mix theirs, so I thought that I would give it a go. So I started out with:

100% Shea Butter

100% Coconut Oil ( This stuff smells GREAT!)

Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil

Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)

Ok, so I added the Shea Butter to a double boiler 

And then I added the oil, now.... here's where I THINK I messed up..... I added a tablespoon of Olive Oil and a tablespoon and a half of Coconut Oil then a half teaspoon of Jojoba and Vitamin E Oil (I think, I used the same spoon but I eyeballed it so... yeah) and I let it melt down.

Now here's why I think I messed up... look back at the first pic, you see how small the jar of Shea Butter is, so I may have overdone it a bit with the other oils.

So I  started whisking cuz I do not have a hand mixer.... and IT WOULD NOT MIX....... no matter what I did, it just would not come together! so I started to panic because these oils are not that cheap where I am living and I was NOT going to throw it out so i tore up my kitchen only to find one of those   hand food blender things

Sorry about the quality... okay so I continued to mix and........IT STILL WOULD NOT COME TOGETHER! It was like trying to mix water.... so I gave up and set it in the fridge..... 

1hr later:

Looks firm right?

hmmmm....

The next day (I made too much...) :

SUCCESS!!!!!!!! IT WAS FIRM!!! WOOOOOOT! So you know it's time for the happy dance right?

I will be using this on my skin because my hair is still braided up but I think its time to pull them out now....

Don't you think?

Catch you later!
