I used: - 1 overripe avocado - 1/2 cup grapeseed oil (ran out of EVOO) - 1/4 cup coconut cream - 1/2 cup AVG - 1 tablespoon HE HH condish I blended everything together and the result was this: I slathered some in my hair (froze the rest) and put on a bag. It felt delish on my hair. I can't wait to wash it out and feel the end result!

will definitely be trying this soon!

4oz Aloe Vera GEL
1oz Jojoba oil
1oz vegetable glycerin

20oz bottle of moisturizing condition
6 drops peppermint oil

I've run out of most of my natural ingredients and I had to DC my hair today. So I mixed:

- 2 tablespoons of coconut cream
- 1 large leaf of aloe vera
- 1/4 cup of grapeseed oil
- and an eyeball amount of HE condish

The result was like a hair mask and very slimy because of the aloe. I put in on my hair, put on a shower cap, put a plastic bag over that (recycle ppl!) and then put my silk bonnet over that. So right now I have my hair marinating in the stuff. Will post how my hair feels when I wash it out later.

^^Oh, I've done that minus the aloe and it worked out really well!

Whipped up another batch of shea butter.
