Directions
– Melt the shea butter in a double boiler. Once cooled slightly, add aloe vera gel and your choice of essential oils. Use a hand blender or electric whisk to whip the mixture into a cream.
– Using a wide-toothed comb, apply the mask evenly to your hair. This method ensures better coverage.
