Does anyone mix this with their Shea butters for hair or skin?

Yes it is perfect for that! It is a small bottle and the consistency is pretty thick. BUT this is the only 100% PURE vitamin E oil I have found! You can also mix it with coconut oil to make an I cream or eye make up remover.

I haven't but I do use it on my face and then put my face lotion on afterwards. It tends to soften the stickiness.

You are welcome. I also wanted to tell you that I use a line of products called Shea Moisture which I find at CVS and Walgreen's. I use the shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner. It was developed by a woman from Sierra Leone and her granddaughters have continued the product. I am pretty sure it was developed for biracial/mixed hair. I wouldn't use any other shampoo or conditioner as this really moisturizes my hair without weighing it down. Hope this helps.

I mix it 50/50 with extra virgin olive oil. It makes my face soft and not greasy at all.

I've used it as a hair mask on multiple occasions, it works great. I've mixed it with various other products to make hair masks, coconut butter melts at a very low temperature which makes it great for mixing.

I mix mine with other natural oils like virgin coconut oil, jojoba oil and caster oil. My hair and scalp are dry so I rub on both.

If you're referring to oils that you would mix in to give it a particular scent, I've used sweet orange oil. I use the shea butter to make my own hair oil by mixing it with coconut oil, vitamin e, castor oil, olive oil, and jojoba oil; once that's all mixed together (I use a hand mixer), I add the orange oil to give it a distinctive scent. I've heard of others using lavender oil, lemon oil, and even gardenia oil. I have very sensitive skin so I don't scent the shea butter I use for my skin; I just scent the shea butter mixture for my hair. I hope this helps.

Yes, if you follow-up with a good conditioner. I prefer putting straight shea butter in my hair.

I use it for my hair; I melt a 1:1 ratio of this shea butter with extra virgin coconut oil in the microwave, mix it up well, let it cool, pour it into a small tupperware container, and let it set up at room temp. I use maybe a half pea-size bit in the morning to smooth and defrizz my hair. You probably can use it for a lotion just by itself, after you pry a chunk out and warm in it your hands a little...It's not a liquid, though, like if you squeezed lotion out of a bottle; it's solid enough that you'd have to warm it a bit just to be able to use it like a lotion that way. I've also only ever used it mixed with something else, so I don't know how well it would work on its own.

I use a hand blender, first I heat the shea butter with coconut oil until both melt. Then I cool it for a while. Then I add any other oil I might desire (I use Argan Oil) and use the blender to whip it into a light and fluffy texture. I scoop it into a jar and enjoy my own healthy, natural, and quick absorbing whipped body butter. I have friends who added essential oils like lavender, but I do not.

I have a friend who mixes the two to make hand lotions - I will ask her about using on your hair but since they are both natural can't see any problems.

No. I put this on hair that had been bleached before and was colored blue with Raw but fading and if goes directly on. No mixing. It is very vibrant!

Hi, Zirona...I usually combine it with shea butter and use it as a deep conditioner before or after I shampoo. If I use it as a deep conditioner, I do rinse it out like a conditioner. However, I do leave it in sometimes if I am doing on two-strand twist on my natural hair. I hope this helps.

It's already blended with oils infused. Use the butter bath neutralizing shampoo as well. Hair comes out really silky

Yes I mixed it with an array of raw natural oils and applied it to my scalp only every other night.Massaged in well. I wash it out once a week. Sometimes twice a week if I sweat really bad during work outs. Then deep conditioned my hair with heat using a non-sulfate conditioner mixed with a little olive oil after every wash. I hope this helps.

I have not used the product because it was so confusing to me. It comes in one pouch that you measure out and turn into a paste. My hair dresser said, if you use it, don't try to get highlights because your hair will break off. Needless to say, I did not try to mix it up...Good luck

You can, but only apply a little with the tips of your fingers the way you would apply an oil. I mix my with jamacian black castor oil and jojoba oil. Dab with your finger tips and apply lightly to you scalp only.

Here is a video showing the best way to get a mixture whipped. In the video, Jojoba Oil and Essential Oils are added to the shea butter, but you can just use the shea and coconut oil. http://youtu.be/Sgz0GHZUd48
