Hair Update November 2010

I took these pix last week...this is my current style...small two strand twists. (BC 8/2008)

Recipe for my special batch of Juices & Berries..

I'm not a fan of measuring stuff...1 cup of this 1/4 cup of that...eh? I'll pass, I like to "eyeball" the ingredients.... I've been asked several times for the recipe to my infamous bottle of "juices and berries" (adapted from Coming to America) LOL! Honestly, I kinda throw any and everything in my bottle, depending on what stuff I have in stock. This bottle has::

*olive oil

*melted shea butter

*castor oil

*a generous squeeze of your favorite leave in conditioner (just make sure it is free from parabens and words you can't pronounce) I use Nubian Heritage/Carol's Daughter products.

*grape seed oil

*a dab of water

*rosemary and/or lavender for fragrance

I have different variations of this "recipe"...this mixture is awesome for my hair. It makes my hair so soft and its growing like weeds...I have a feeling I'm leaving something out...hmmmm?

Google your favorite natural hair care mixtures and mix and match a recipe that works best for you and your hair! Happy Mixing!

PRODUCT REVIEW:: Tree Hut Shea Body Butter

On a recent trip to Wally World (Wal-Mart) I zoomed in on this body butter. It said shea butter so I was tempted to further inspect this unfamiliar product. As usual, I unscrewed the lid to catch a wiff...I was blown away at how GOOD it smelled. That day I fell in love with Tree Hot Shea Body Butter. I purchased the matching shower gel and sea scrub. Very affordable!

**NOTE::: It contains No Parabens or DMDM!

Which of your products works best for very dry skin? Why?
All of our Tree Hut Shea Body Butters work best for dry skin because they are formulated specifically to address dry skin needs. Tree Hut’s Shea Body Butter helps regulate moisture, provide deep hydration, soften and nourish the skin. All of our Body Butters are enriched with vitamins, antioxidants and botanical oils, which further enhance the product’s ability to deliver its hydrating and skin-smoothing benefits.

What is the difference between Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter?
Shea butter has an unusually high content of rich natural oils, vitamins and minerals far exceeding that of cocoa butter. Shea Butter can naturally improve skin tone, re-hydrate skin, promote cell rejuvenation, improve skin elasticity and lessen the appearance of wrinkles and stretch marks.
