Marlon's Favorite
Add a couple of drops of Peppermint Oil to 100% Pure Shea Butter and mix it until it becomes creamy.

Janae's Detangling Mix
Combine Olive Oil and Caster Oil to your conditioner and distribute through damp hair.  Comb through the hair with a wide tooth comb then put a plastic cap on and leave it on for at least 10 to 15 minutes. I usually section the hair and comb through each section. Then I braid each section to prevent it from getting tangled again. While the braids are still in wash the hair 2x then condition the hair again.  Rinse and style:)

Shea Hair Mask
Soften 100% Pure Shea Butter, don't let it melt you just want it as buttery consistency then add a few drops of Rosemary and Lavendar oil with 1 tbs of Coconut oil.  Mix all the ingredients together and apply it to dry or damp hair.  Put on a plastic cap and leave on for at least half an hour.  Wash off your favoriate conditioner or shampoo.
