My home-made hair and body butter

Hey world,
How is everyone doing?
Hope you all are having a fantastic Saturday.
Ok this is somewhat of a review of the products I have for my natural hair. I should've done that a long time ago but since I'm not lazy anymore so here I am-why not?
By the way I use other things to conditioned and moisturerized my hair but this is mainly a review on my home-made hair and body butter I decided to make after I read and viewed some very educational videos on YouTube on to maintain soft naturals.
The first picture is a picture of organic coconut oil. Now the second picture is the pure African Shea butter. You can use both for either your hair or skin. I use both for my hair and body-it keeps the hair soft and moisturized even though I have other source of moisturizers for my hair.
I actually had this "review" as my status yesterday and a lot of my friends wanted to know how i made it, so I wrote somewhat a novel lol.
.....so here I am posting it for the world to read on about my hair and body butter that I made in my own kitchen :-) yep all natural.
"The stuff that I got to make it was pure organic coconut oil, African Shea butter (yes the real one because there is a big difference in the smell although they look the same), jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil (a teaspoon but again it all depends on how much you're planning on making). I also add two drops of my pure Moroccan oil because I love it and it does wonders for my hair. Just heat up the coconut oil for about 10 seconds not too hot but just enough for it to softens up a little then you mixed the coconut oil and Shea butter and use an egg beater. After That's when you put the oils in after and beat it up again then put it in your container and freeze it up for about two hrs. *it's going to have an odor to some that might be an unpleasant smell but I don't mind it, it's not bad it's just doesn't smell great. But if the smell bothers you that much jut add maybe two drops of one of the essential oils (peppermint, Rosemary) or whatever you want".
