Hair Butter: Who it's for... and the Recipe

Last weekend I spoke with a woman named Joyce who remembered meeting my mother-in-law eight years ago. After reminiscing about my mother-in-law’s warm and bubbly personality, Joyce said, “… and she had the most amazing hair I’ve ever seen!”

I totally agreed with her (on all accounts!) but knew that my mother-in-law would say her hair is what has caused her such angst. She used to complain that it completely lacks of natural oils, which makes it difficult to manage. I really scored with my hubby’s mother when I gave her Second Life Hair Butter a few years ago. She loves it, and says it tames her wild (but beautiful!) locks.

A few of my DIY customers have been patiently waiting for me to publish the hair butter recipe. Here is it:
1 oz beeswax
3 oz shea butter
2.75 oz coconut oil
Melt the ingredients in a double boiler. Just before pouring, add ¼ tsp essential oil (optional), stir, and pour into a jar. Hair butter is ready in a few hours. In warmer weather, add .5 oz beeswax.

Rub a small amount in hands and apply to wet or dry hair. Style as usual.

Have you Heard? 97 ebooks and Courses, plus $140' worth of freebies...

I was honored to be included in this ebook bundle of savings, with My Buttered Life: Baby Edition as part of the sale, but what I didn't expect to see was the 80+ books listed that I didn't yet own. Here's a favorite: The No Brainer Wardrobe by Hayley Morgan. Within 82 pages of reading, you can completely switch the contents of your wardrobe to remove the frumpy and replace with style. I love the strategies, even using Pinterest, to get the most out of your clothing. Look what the author did with a little time on Pinterest and a day at the thrift store - Hayley is on the left and the Pinterest photo is on the right:

The $29.97 purchase also includes freebies like Earthpaste toothpaste from Redmond, sourdough starter from Cultures for Health, culinary herb seeds from WheatGrassKits, and more.

Last month I worked with a photographer to make 600 customized lip balms for an event that promoted her business. What a blast it is to work with other small businesses!
