Home Made Hair Cream – Second Batch

I made a second batch of hair cream almost 6 months to the date of my first concoction. Because the cream has no preservatives, I didn’t want it to last no longer than 6 months. I ran out just in time. 

This new batch contains almost the same ingredients as before. I used similar oils but they are a little different. I added new oils and processed the hair cream differently – by accident.  This is what I did.

• 2 cups of White Raw Shea Butter
• 2 tablespoons of Jojoba Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Avocado Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Almond Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Vitamin E Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Coconut Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Grapeseed Oil
• Cedarwood Essential Oil – 10 drops
• Rosemary Essential Oil – 10 drops
• Thyme Essential Oil – 10 drops
• Peppermint Essential Oil – 10 drops
• Lavender Essential Oil – 11 drops (an extra drop fell out)
• Tea Tree Essential Oil – 5 drops (it was dropping a little slow and I became impatient)

Unlike before some of the oils you cannot cook with. I wonder if it will make a difference? I added all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, on speed 1, I incorporated everything for 20 minutes.

I knew I had no Frankincense or Myrrh Oil to add to bring about a sweet fragrance. I was just going to use the hair cream as is but decided I could not put the smell of raw shea butter and essential oils in my hair.

So I covered the mixture with a plastic wrap and let it sit room temperature.

More than 24 hours later I purchased a small jar of Frankincense Oil and poured in 6 caps full. 

I mixed the frangrance into the batch for just a few minutes. I didn’t notice a sweet smell right away, but I do know that the older the cream gets, the sweeter it smells. 

Very creamy and fluffy.

Ready to use.
