Hair Butter

2.5 cups Shea Butter (this just makes it)
.5 cup Olive Oil infused with Rosemary, Lavender, and lemon (all around good oil)
.25 cup Coconut Oil (penetrates the hair)
.25 cup Avocado Oil (penetrates the hair)
.25 cup Almond Oil (seals the hair)

Essential oils of Rosemary, Lavender, and Lemon. These particular EOs are not corrosive when they come into contact with the skin (some EOs are). You can use 10 drops of an essential oil per ounce of product. Plus these are not very expensive. I think Rosemary EO costs the most. I use between 20-30 drops of each.

You can use whatever oils you want the main thing is the Shea Butter. I have made it where I melted  the shea butter and where I did not. There really isn't a discernible difference between the two. The result will be grainy and I do not know how to combat this.
