I decided to make my own shea butter mixture for styling and moisturizing. A lot of naturals swear by their own mixes over the ones you find in the store. I decided to give it a try. I followed two of my favorite YouTubers, Bronzeqt and Naptural85, and got to work in the kitchen! All of the products probably cost less than $20 and it made a lot of product. I used this over the winter when hair and skin naturally tends to be drier and I was pleased with the results! It makes my hair feel so soft!
After my leave-in conditioner of choice has been applied to clean hair, I apply the shea butter mixture and proceed to style. Although it does a great job at moisturizing, it does not give hold to my hair like it does for some people so I do not use it on twist outs and braid outs. I mainly used it in the winter time when I was doing protective styling.
The ingredients used are pure Ghana shea butter purchased from the beauty supply store, castor oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and vitamin E. You can put whatever you like in yours!

The one on the right has more castor oil and coconut oil in it that gives it a more sticky pomade like texture. This one is normally used to smooth edges.
