Now what?!

Now that you have your oils....I'm sure you're guessing what you can do with them.

I told Cecille yesterday that I'm going to use my oils in 2 ways.

1st: I'm going to make more Shea Butter/Oil mixture. I melt chunks of Shea Butter (usually I buy the tub that's usually available at the beauty supply store). I add a tad bit of leave-in conditioner, and a small amount of each oil. I don't want this mixture to be super greasy so I start with a small amount of oils and add more if needed. I use a hand mixer (unmelted....LOL Cecille) and whip the mixture until it begins to get thick and creamy. I place the mixture in the fridge for a few hours until it solidifies.



I kid you not....Cecille and I made this whipped concoction and it made like 5 jars!!! I am STILL using the concoction. It's lasted about 9-10 months. Does that sound about right, Cecily?

2nd: I am going to mix 4 oils together in a small spray bottle. I'm not sure how big my little bottle is. It might be like 4oz, so I'm going to do an ounce of each oil. Shake well!!!! I will probably use this to seal my hair when I do two-strand twists.

I just like using the Shea Butter concoction because it's thicker and I'll need that in the colder months. 


Holla back girls!!
