How can I use this as a hair mask? Can I mix it with 100% Raw Shea Butter?

I haven't personally mixed the two in a container, but I do apply both to my hair right after each other. I apply the coconut oil and then the shea butter on top. But I have heard of people making a concoction of the two and other ingredients together.

I googled the question since I do not know the answer and this is a youtube tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKPDPVbrMLs There are other recipes also.

I've used it as a hair mask on multiple occasions, it works great. I've mixed it with various other products to make hair masks, coconut butter melts at a very low temperature which makes it great for mixing.

Yes. I use it in my homemade hair products. I wouldn't recommend mixing it straight, but with water and an emulsifying agent.

I don't know the method, but I did read that refined shea butter ultimately has little to no health value. Get unrefined if possible. I wish I knew that before buying this.

I use Raw Shea Butter for my hair to protect it from very cold weather and from extreme heat. Depending on your hair type, you will have to test it out to see. Shea Butter is a bit heavy for my hair, so I place it on the ends (in the winter) to keep them from drying out, or becoming brittle and breaking off. In the Summer, I may be a bit more liberal - however, I can only use it once a week on my hair. Do beware however, Shea Butter attracts the impurities of the world - and will stick to your hair and you will find you must wash it more often.

It's already blended with oils infused. Use the butter bath neutralizing shampoo as well. Hair comes out really silky

It says apply a drop or few. I do like two bottle top splooshes. I finger it through hair. It is marketed as a thermal and leave in conditioner. So no. I wouldn't say this would be an hair mask for you. It did make my hair softer and smell great in the tho

I don't know how others use it, but i use it as a facial moisturizer--just a few drops. I also use it on the ends of my hair. I mix it with some shea butter and use it as an eye cream. It's versatile.

I will order this product again because it was 100% pure. It can be refined but I didn't take time to do that. I used it as is. I gave some away and it was the best Shea butter I have ever bought and it had no smell (I had for a couple if months). It is truly pure!

I bought this for my mom. She only puts it on her skin and she loves it. I know that you can put cocoa butter in you hair, so I'm sure this would work. I've even put the cocoa butter cream out of the jar on my hair as a mask. It was fine.

I don't whip my shea butter as it takes too long--- I just warm it up with my hands and spread/rub it on my body like lotion. But I have seen some tutorials on youtube and it seems like they use a electric blender to whip the shea butter and add other essential oils to the shea butter to make it more smooth. I linked a video below. Hope I answered your question.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkVbME7-IR0

Well I think so. It is really great for skin, I know that. I found this info online for you:Look for 100 percent natural shea butter, and warm it in a pan set over boiling water. Let it cool for a bit, then massage it into your scalp and leave it in your hair for 30 minutes or more. Do this at least once a week and you may quickly see a transformation in your hair - from being damaged, dull, itchy, and lifeless to looking healthy, shiny, and silky!

I use it with rosewater as a mask as well. I just keep mixing and adding products until I get a smooth consistency that could be easily spread all over the face. I'm sorry but I don't usually measure how much of each product I add to the mask.

Hi, Jenelle! No you can't. The hair melts with either of those things. It's only for cutting. Sux, lol! =)

I used it to make homemade lotion so if you have a recipe that calls for Shea butter then yes!

I'm not sure about that. I used it to make a body butter by mixing it with coconut oil and shea butter.

Yes! I have used it to make lotion, lotion bars, and lip balm. Love it! It does have a rich chocolate scent that is impossible to cover, so don't try. Use Shea butter instead. But the chocolate scent works really well combined with peppermint or orange. Basic recipe is equal parts butter (Shea or Cocoa) and an oil (coconut, olive) with beeswax (amount determines how firm the product will be). Best way to test a recipe is to start with small amounts, place ingredients in a small jelly jar, and heat in a pan of water until everything melts. Remove from heat, let sit for a few minutes and then stir in essentials oils if using. The jar becomes your storage container, so you don't have any cleanup. Yes!
