Your strands will be less frizzy, moisturized, and easier to style.

Fortunately, most of these products are relatively easy to source. As a result, it should be easy to find them in your local stores, or online.
8 oz Shea butter
4 oz coconut oil, raw is best
1/2 cup of aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon each of jojoba oil, and Jamaican Black Castor oil
10-15 drops essential oils. Some great choices are: lavender for dry scalps, tea tree for dandruff or frizz, and chamomile for distressed strands. You can mix and match to create your own customized product.
What to do:
Until you’re ready to use these product, store them all in a cool, dry place. Soften the shea butter and coconut oil, but don’t completely melt it. A few seconds in the microwave should do.

Scoop and store in an airtight jar, such as a mason jar. Keep in a cool place and re-whip if needed.
