Ingredients:
- 1 cup shea butter (unrefined)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (extra virgin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 tablespoon castor oil
- 10 drops rosemary essential oil
- 5 drops peppermint essential oil (optional for cooling sensation)
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
Instructions:
- Melt the Butters:
- In a double boiler, gently melt the shea butter and coconut oil until fully liquefied. Avoid direct heat to prevent losing the natural benefits of the oils.
- Mix in the Oils:
- Once the shea butter and coconut oil are melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Add olive oil, castor oil, and vitamin E oil to the melted mixture, stirring well to combine.
- Add Essential Oils:
- Add the rosemary essential oil and peppermint essential oil (if using) to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the oils are well incorporated.
- Cool and Whip:
- Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes, or until it starts to solidify around the edges.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture for 5-7 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Store the Hair Butter:
- Transfer the whipped rosemary hair butter into a clean, airtight jar.
- Store in a cool, dry place. The butter should last for up to 6 months.
How to Use:
- For Scalp Treatment: Apply a small amount of the rosemary hair butter directly to your scalp, massaging it in with your fingertips. This stimulates blood circulation, promoting hair growth.
- For Hair Moisturization: Rub a small amount between your palms and apply it to the ends of your hair or along the length to seal in moisture, reduce frizz, and prevent split ends.
- Overnight Treatment: For a more intensive treatment, apply the butter to your scalp and hair, cover with a shower cap, and leave it on overnight. Wash out the next morning for soft, nourished hair.
Benefits:
- Rosemary Essential Oil: Known to stimulate hair growth by improving blood circulation in the scalp and reducing hair loss.
- Shea Butter and Coconut Oil: Moisturize and nourish the hair, preventing breakage and promoting thickness.
- Castor Oil: Rich in fatty acids, it strengthens hair strands and promotes hair growth.
