Tips to Tweak the Recipe
You can substitute Shea Butter with Cocoa Butter if you want something richer. I used Shea Butter because it is fairly lighter and suits everyone.
You can use Sweet Almond Oil or Jojoba Oil instead of Grapeseed Oil, if you can’t get it or find it difficult to acquire where you live.
Honey is optional and can be skipped if you don’t prefer using it on your hair.
I use Lavender Essential Oil because it has loads of hair benefits and also has healing and soothing properties, so ideal if you have damaged hair. However, you can use any hair beneficial essential oil that you like including Basil, Clary Sage, Chamomile, Peppermint, etc.
If you find this recipe as rich for your hair – happens if you have thin hair, or if you already have oily hair, reduce Shea Butter and add more of Argan, Jojoba or Sweet Almond Oil.
