DIY Hair Styling Cream
This DIY hair cream works great for taming unruly hair and keeping flyaways and frizz under control. It is super easy to make and very cost-effective.
Servings: 1.5 oz

Instructions
- Melt shea butter and coconut oil in a saucepan over low heat, occasionally stirring to prevent burning.

Notes

- Shea butter can be substituted for cocoa butter or mango butter.
- Essential oils and vitamin E oil are optional in this recipe.
- Most preservatives are used at .2-1% of the total recipe. I have used Geogard 221 at 0.2%, but be sure to adjust the dilution rate based on the broad-spectrum preservative you are using.
