![]() The Kink Alchemy whipped Shea butter recipe is ideal for soft styles like twists and cornrows – although you can most certainly use it from head to toe. It can be used to seal or style – adding softness and shine to kinks of all kinds. Shea butter is such a popular raw ingredient in the 4c community because it locks in moisture and keeps hair hydrated for days on end. Because it is rich in stearic and oleic fatty acids, Shea butter makes an ideal natural hair care aid – coating and conditioning the hair shaft without making it dull or heavy. Shea butter is the naturally occurring fat extracted from the nut of the Shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa). With those not-so-great experiences in mind, I was on a quest to find a whipped Shea butter recipe where the consistency would remain soft and fluffy long after it was whipped up – and it seemed like Taymer’s recipe would fit the bill. And the next day? Stiff as a board, and super difficult to scoop out of the jar and use. ![]() I can’t tell you how many times I’ve followed various “whipped fluffy Shea butter” tutorials and ended up with an awesome, soft butter at first. Have you ever tried to make whipped Shea butter following a recipe you found online, and ended up with a small disaster on your hands? In fact, my main motivation for giving it a try is that Taymer herself shared with me that the difference between her recipe and others online is your whipped Shea butter will not stiffen back up after 24 hours. I sampled Taymer’s whipped Shea butter recipe because it appeared to come together a little differently than most other whipped Shea butter tutorials I’ve seen online. At 4cHC, we love a good DIY recipe – that’s why when we learned about Taymer Mason’s Kink Alchemy book full of DIY beauty recipes inspired by Caribbean island hair growth secrets, we couldn’t resist.
