younggrasshper Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I think I want to use refined because this is quite yellow from the unrefined shea.....unless thats what is supposed to happen? I know there is candles in the pic, but the ones with out the candles were to "FLASHY" lol, but the pics dont turn out at all if I turn the flash off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 They look very nice - some people prefer the unrefined over the refine shea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryGirl Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 They look Great!!!!try taking picts during the daytime with no flash.....you should not have glare then ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryann Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Unrefined is yellow in color. I did one batch of straight unrefined shea and colored it purple (lots of purple and it has a grayish tint to it). Big containers, this stuff seems to last forever! Very nice and addicting .

Fern-Marie Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm snooping...can someone clue me in on the whipped shea? You take a hunk of shea and whip it, how?...can you then use it straight? I just 'discovered' shea recently, like two days ago, and have been using it..I love it and I am not, so far, experiencing allergies. I would like to get some for myself, but have no idea what to do with it once I do. help.I would really like to mix it with Emu Oil....any ideas? Is that do-able?Thanks for the lesson!Fern-Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younggrasshper Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 thanks for the comments! these containers are actually quite small.....i'll attach a pic to show how little they are, its between a regular size pop can and one of the mini ones......

maryann Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 WOW they are small, I have the same container on the left (its a bigger version though) that's why I thought they were big! Once again you did a GREAT job. Forgot to ask before did you scent it? If so what did you use and did it compliment the unrefined shea?Fern-Marie you can do a search on here for WHIPPED SHEA, you should get a TON of info. Its great I add emu oil to almost everything I make myself its my fav oil (so healing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younggrasshper Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 I don't really care for the unrefined shea so I did scent it, and I dont really like it as well as purple lilacs :-( but its not bad, I added a little bit of Strawberry FOI got those little bitty containers for a quarter each!
