Coco-Vanilla

Leave-In Conditioner

Ingredients ! 1/4 teaspoon guar gum 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil 1 cup distilled or purified water 1 teaspoon flax oil 3 to 5 drops vanilla essential oil (or the essential of your choice) !Instructions ! 1. Take a small amount of your water mixture and add the “gums” to it.

2. Shake it vigorously and then allow it to set for about 5 minutes.

3. It’s best to blend this in a blender for about 2 to 5 minutes, or until it reaches the consistency or you like. I mixed it in my mixer after warming up the water for about 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave. This warmth felt great and added in a quick warm oil treatment for my scalp.

6. Put your crock pot on the warm setting.

7. I let CCCO simmer on the warm setting for about 2 hours and then let it cool overnight. I turned it off sooner because it started to boil and I didn’t want the carrots to burn. Warmly infuse carrot oil for about 24 to 48 hours.

8. Strain the carrots and goodies from the oil and Viola! Stir coconut oil into your shea butter until well blended.

!Notes ! This oil is great to use for hot oil treatments, styling,

facial serums, and scalp massage. ! I like to add at least one half of a whole vanilla bean to

my carrot oil. This gives it a beautiful carrot cake smell!

Whipped Apricot Shea Butter

Instructions

1. Place your shea butter in a heat safe container or glass .

2. Set the cup in the hot water. This will melt your shea butter gently while keeping all of its plant sterols, fatty acids, and superpower vitamins and antioxidants in place (our skin and hair LOVE these).

3. Place your mixer on high and Whip It!!!

4. Whip for about 1 to 2 minutes after adding each ingredient.

!Notes !**Coconut oil is excellent in this mix. This recipe is flexible and will work well with 1 cup of raw, organic butter (shea, mango, cocoa, kokum, etc.) and 1/4 cup of your favorite oil).



“Sexy Chocolate” Shiny Hair Butter

Ingredients ! 1/4 cup cocoa butter 1/4 cup shea butter 2 tablespoons coconut oil Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a small pot if you’re heating the ingredients on the stove.

2. Heat until the butter(s) and oils are melted.

3. Let cool for about 10 to 15 minutes or until it can be poured in your air tight container.

Optional:

Your favorite essential…I used about 4 drops of Vanilla Essential Oil. The vanilla really brings the natural chocolate scent of the cocoa butter more into your nostrils for a scent EXPLOSION!)

Sexy Chocolate Shiny Hair Butter

Notes I put my butter in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

Don’t worry about the butter freezing into a hard piece of cement.

It stays nice and solid at room temperature, and still melts into your hair while applying.

Once the mixture is solid your butter is ready to go!
