Cool Kizzy:

pls is der a liquid shea butter? Or u mean an already melted one.

anitank: While u ladies talk about it, I already melted the shea butter I left abandoned in my wardrobe for a while no, and mixed it with a little amount of olive oil. The yellow plate contains the melted shea butter while the white plate contains the solid form. The empty bottle is for the mixture while I took a little from the full olive oil bottle to neutralize the odour. Do I need to add anything more?

Don't worry about the smirn off ice , its not going into the bottle with the rest

jennann: Nice post. So, how do you make the shea butter lighter in consistency for easy spreadability over the skin since it' s quite hard in the raw form?

Damseluc:

I think you should try it and also mix it with snake fat (it is called Abubaeke in Igbo).

ferhyntorlah:

I mean the melted one. You won't find liquid shea butter in the market; it always in solid form.

elelem: How do you take care of shea butter odour?

Mhudi: I used it starting july 2012 but after some few applications my skin started fading as if I was bleaching and I had to stop. I am dark in complexion and I like it and so reverted to using vaseline maintain my dark complexion. The best cream I ever used was Skin Balanced lotion between 2003 and 2004 but it is no longer in the market and it is very unfortunate that I cannot find an alternative for it after more than eight years.

My Small World :


There's Shea oil in the market but it's not easy to come by. And I have the feeling most of it's healing properties will have been refined away.

garnetty: @ tajulasblog- have you ever tried it when mixed other kinds of oil e.g. olive oil? or is it more effective when used in its raw state?

berem: does it really have odour? The most important thing is the benefit on your skin.

I have been using okwoma(shea butter) on my skin for the past 3years.i also use it for my hair to treat dandruff.it is also good for kids as their cream.it doesn't cause sweat too.

sophia kalu:
Its great for hair. I take it to the salon on each visit, I apply it to my scalp just after I remove the rollers from my dried hair, then I go bak into the dryer to heat up the shea butter in my scalp. I have noticed that the chronic dandruff I ve had since I was. Kid has automatically stopped and my hair is fuller, healthier and simply great

Hello Sophia, is your hair texlax cos it sure hlooks like one?

sophia kalu:
Hi ferhyntorlah, I don't even know wat texlax is. The first picture is my natural hair and the second is braided with expression hair attachment.

gianni: Nice thread! Now that we know of natural, unrefined body cream, is there any natural soap that has all the qualities listed above?
