I tried the shea + oil combo today, except I used Vit. E oil/Africa's Best mixed together. I spritzed hair with water. Then just melted the shea butter into my hands, added a few drops of the oil mixture to my hands, and then shingled it through my hair. I did two bantu knots (or buns) on damp hair secured with cotton scrunchies (to aid in drying), and pulled a scarf tight over just the front of my hair. Slept overnight and undid in the...
