Homemade Hair Butter Recipe

Many people have come in the store and asked about how to make this hair butter. So I decided to post the recipe. Now, I can’t & won’t take credit for this recipe. I saw it on Naptural85 YouTube channel.

Hair Butter Recipe

• Unrefined Shea Butter (room temperature)

• Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (room temperature)

*(Blend the 2 base ingredients together first)

• 1 tbsp Castor Oil
• 1 tsp Jojoba Oil
• 1 tsp Sweet Almond Oil
• 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

*(Optional Oils)

Apricot Oil                                         Grapeseed Oil

 

As you can see in the video, you can make the consistency of this recipe based on your hair type (fine or thick). I love this hair butter, & so does my hair! I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now. I like to see how I can use things in multiple ways. I guess it’s the multi-tasker in me that makes me feel like products (at least most of them) should multi-task too. Of course I tested the hair butter, & it passed with flying colors.

I also use it to:

• Moisturize my lips
• Fade dark spots/ improve skin tone
• Moisturize my skin.

You can use it as a body butter too. You can even thin it out to have more of a lotion consistency by adding more oil.

This isn’t a miracle hair or body butter. I attributed its success to the ingredients in it. Let’s take a look at them in more detail.

Unrefined Shea Butter

It’s known to help improve skin troubles including dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, burns, stretch marks, wrinkles, blemishes/ dark spots, skin rash such as diaper rash, and much more.
