Keep in mind that these butters are still organic. Refined does not always equate to chemicals or heat. Organic clays may also be used to mildly refine the butter. This shea butter is almost odorless and a pleasure to work with. Your final product will shine. The deodorized cocoa butter will allow you to have all of the benefits of cocoa butter without the strong chocolate aroma. It has not been bleached or refined. Enjoy 😊💜

Thank you, I have been to get an unscented Shea butter but not loose any of the properties of it. I don’t like adding much essential oils to try and cover the scent and it can sometimes be a bit strong.
How dare you leave such a kind comment. 😂😊 Thank you so much! I really try to bring quality content and information you all can use. I appreciate you all watching 💜💜
I made your recipe and gave it to five people in my family for them to try everyone absolutely loved it. I just made a new batch and can’t wait to try it myself. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. You are very amazing and I can’t wait to try other products that you make and share, God bless you and your family
Thank you for talking about preservatives! They're necessary to avoid bacteria and mold, and they're not the poison they've been made out to be!! Thus looks fabulous ❤
Yes plz touch on what ingredients in a formula requires you to adjust the pH before adding back in. Also what makes this a deep conditioner looks like I can also use as a moisturizer. Btw I have that buriti oil on hand and love it. ❤
sunni james I definitely will do ph soon 😊💜. The honeyquat, panthenol, and btms 50 all have major conditioning properties. But it’s mainly the panthenol and honeyquat because they have small enough molecules to actually penetrate the hair strands which is a deep condition lol. Yes, I am in love with the buriti fruit oil right now. I hope this helps.
I honestly love your videos! So many creative ideas. Im a diy-er b/c there are several mainstream ingredients that will just ruin my hair so your channel has really helped me create my own things. My hair has been doing better these past 2 yrs than the other 8 I've been natural 🙌🏽 Your channel is a staple! I hope to see a video about pH balancing. That seems to be the most confusing to me. Idk why though
Thank you so much for watching! I am happy to help. My hair was also suffering form using so many different products. Since I have been using my own creations, my hair has been thriving. I will definitely do the video on ph balancing very soon. Thank you again for watching 😊💜
Lol this is hilarious. You can definitely do it. I have no plans for selling this deep conditioner just yet. But I will put it on the list of DIY's that I am considering to put in the store. Please stay tune. Thank you 😊💜
Hi Yaya I know you have a lot of diy deep conditioners but can you do one that has really intense hydration with seeds and herbs as well as powder please don't leave spirulina out
This sounds like a really great hair mask. Depending on the ingredients added, it will properly work best as a hair mask. I have it noted though and I will do my best to get to it. In the meantime, I have a DIY Blue Spirulina Hair Mask with various herbs that you may like. 😊💜
Yoooo that colour. Never tried that oil. Usually I get this colour with seabuckthorn oil and it is super. Need to try this one asap I think. You are genius girl.
Thank you! Here are the links. However, the lid and jar did not come together. I hope this helps. 4 oz Clear plastic jars: amzn.to/2Aq62pN faux Bamboo lid with original jar: amzn.to/2mx94Bo
I dont see the preservative unless I overlooked it. I like that u shared this i make whipped shea butters and the cocoa butter scent and shea scent does become a but much when i am scenting so when my stock is gone imma switch to this I also been trying to make a deep conditioner for my hair line but it seems complex still lol
I didn't mention the name in the video, but it is in the description box. I'll leave the name here as well: Euxyl PE 9010. And yes, you are absolutely right, the aroma can be very overpowering. The butters in the video have almost no odor. I love it. I will try to do more deep conditioners that are not as complex. However, I promise this one is worth a try. 😊💜
Come on YaYa, I’m gonna go bold from pulling my hair out trying to make this and some of the other DIY’S!🤦🏽♀️👩🏽🦲Please Sis, just let me know when can I make a purchase, SERIOUSLY!🙇🏽♀️🥰
Don’t go bald. 😅😂 I have no plans for releasing this just yet. I am still testing for stability. But if I add it to the store, I will definitely let you all know 💜💜
I checked the description box but i didn't see any info about the preservative that you use , I can't wait for you to talk/make a video more about the different preservatives and why they are important etc etc.
Hi Yaya thanks for sharing amazing recipes. You are so kind. I have a request if that’s not too much for you. We live in country that uses grams and millilitres instead of oz. If you write up % next to each ingredient that would very helpful to memorise the ingredient % so that we can make it up to 100gms. Thank you so much.
Just wondering where did you get your container from? I also like making my own products and you’ve inspired me to learn more in-depth about ingredients
Here are the links. However, the lid and jar did not come together. I hope this helps. 4 oz Clear plastic jars: amzn.to/2Aq62pN faux Bamboo lid with original jar: amzn.to/2mx94Bo And I’m so grateful to hear that. I am truly happy to help. 😊💜
Hello I love your DIY videos. Also..what do you think of MSM for hair growth? I know people take it internally but I'd like to use it in a topical manner first. You're wonderful😆🌻
You're doing a great job Yaya......Your channel is the best for DIY hair products. Keep it up 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. But please if I can't get Manuka honey, kukui oil, honeyquat and buruti fruit oil, what are the best alternatives? Can I use the regular honey 🍯 we all know? What other alternatives are there to the other ones I mentioned?
Thank you so much for your kind words. You can use regular honey, but make sure it is beneficial. There is fake honey out there that is basically sugar/syrup. For the others, you can use any oil that works best for you. If you want a less "greasy" oil like the Kukui oil, you can use Grapeseed oil, almond oil, and others. For the color from Buriti fruit oil, you may be able to get something similar but not exact. Try turmeric essential oil, carrot oil, or sea buckthorn oil. Finally, you can use any deep penetrating conditioning agent or "quat" to substitute the honeyquat. There are numerous, so look up the one that works best for you. I truly hope this helps 💜
I think is awesome. Looking forward to replicate it 😅. Excellent channel . Thanks 😊 Btw , I'd need your expert opinion on a formulation ingredients order and I was wondering if you could help me. By reading this ingredientes order, is this formulation possible? I mean, aren't the emulsifiers the first ones to appear after water? Is it possible!?? It would help a lot to understand how the formulators concieved this 👇🏿 Purified water, Chamomile extract, Horsetail extract, Nettle extract, Rosmary extract, Hops extract Oil phase:Shea butter,Jojoba oil ,Avocado oil BTMS-50, cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, tocoferol, glyceryn, citric acid,ceteareth 20, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium, phenoxyethanol, glycol, sorbic acid, fragrance Thanks in advance for your help!!!😃
I thought I came here for the hair product.... but then I realized I was here for the science. This all looked like so much fun omg. I feel like a 7th grader 😂😂
Lol nice! It is actually very fun. The fun is in trial and error. Testing and tweaking until you get it just right. 👌🏽💜 I am glad you like the videos. Thank you for watching 😊
I believe it! I’ve always had an interest in this part of chemistry, but I always struggled with it on paper. I try not to beat myself up about it but this is certainly something I’d have pursued if I had stayed diligent and patient with myself. I enjoy and appreciate that I am learning while I watch your videos. If I could afford to maintain the supplies and tools, I’d invest in this. I absolutely love it, I’m happy to have found your channel. 💕💕
Hey Yaya! I was wondering, did you use 0.4% guarcat? I'm using that amount in my own deep conditioner but started to wonder if that may be too much for a DC, I read somewhere that too much of it can leave flakes on hair - please let me know if you don't mind :)
Hey, I was wondering if you had a recipe for a shes butter and Manuka honey body butter. I wanted to make a body butter that was Shea based and still have the benefits of the honey as well.
hi yaya.. thanks for sharing magical personal care recipes to us. I would like to ask you smth. can i use the liquid germal plus as perservation instead of the one you use... On top of that can u plz let me know if i want to get 10 bottle of this conditioner at once, such as i increase all the amount of ingredients to ten times, do i also have to increase the amount of preservative to be the same with other ingredients?
Can you tell us how to test ph levels and formulation. What if you wanted to make a bigger batch. How can you make sure your formulation and ph level is right?
Thanks for sharing!!! I'm new to the channel 🙋🏾♀️. Can I simply multiply the amounts of each ingredient that's used to make a bigger batch or does it not work that way lol. I know ratios can be tricky
Welcome to the channel 😊💜 You can definitely double, triple the formula to make a larger batch. I would test a small batch first however. If you double this formula, you will get about 9 to 10 oz of product that may fit in an 8 oz container. I hope this helps 😊💜
For substances like panthenol guarcat etc are there alternatives that could be used? Eg use distilled water and flaxseed bring to boil to make the gel? I am desperately trying to find a conditioner recipe that uses organic natural substances like the shae butter etc. And also how to really strip the recipe right back to basics whilst giving a high moisturising conditioner result.
Hello Yaya, Your video presentations are simply wonderful!! You are so talented and smart in your craft. Do you have a background in chemistry? I Iove your work, If you don't mind me asking. I have a 2 part question. Do you know what actual ingredients are used to make the hair soft?? I've found that Carols Daughters Mimosa Hair Honey Pomade is the only product that really softens an actual keeps my hair soft. Since I consider you well versed an knowledgeable from watching your videos. Also, have you ever consider a diy scalp creme for women that suffer from Folliclettius of the scalp? I've experienced little scalp pimples. Ive always kept my scalp an combs clean. What I've noticed is that using certain heavy oils (castor) seen to make it worse. I'd truly appreciate your opinion on my questions. Stay blessed🌻 💛🌻
Thank you so much. I am happy you are enjoying the videos. I went to university for nutrition/health science. There was some chemistry in there lol. However, when it comes to cosmetics, I am self taught and still learning 😊💜 To answer the first part of your 2 part question. This can be a very complex question/answer. For one, everyone hair is different; from environment to nutrition to healthy hair care practices to genetics to damage, etc. What works for one, may not work for the other. With that in mind, soft hair can be achieved by properly cleansing, hydrating, and sealing in moisture. There are numerous ingredients that work together to do this. I will only name a few. Water: hydrate and softens Apple cider vinegar: cleanses and removes dirt, restores ph Honey: humectant to draw in moisture to hair Oil/butters: emollients to seal in moisture and provide a film/protective barrier to keep moisture in and dirt and humidity out. Conditioning agents like honeyquat with some enough molecules to penetrate and bond with the hair strands, making the strand soft and pulp. All of these play some role or another. These can work for your or against you depending on hair type and how you use them. To answer the 2nd part, I am actually working on some products for scalp irritations and aliments like scalp psoriasis. I also find that heavy oils cause irritation. I am currently working on oil-free DIY formulations to help with this. Stay tune for more information. I truly hope this helps. 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations Lol I knew it your brilliant! I could tell because of your delivery. In addtion, to being self taught already makes you ahead of the game!! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!! Yes I will be excited to see your Diy for scalp issues. You are so right about the oil as soon as I apply it within a day or two a small hair pimple or 2 will rise on my scalp. This so well needed for so many women that deal with the same thing. I thank you for your response, and great information. Stay Safe Peace & Blessings Yaya...🌻😊🙋🏾♀️
Thank you Yvonne! I will do my best to help. I use mostly essential oils, but sometimes they can be limiting. So, fragrance oils can be necessary sometimes. You want to make sure you are getting fragrance oils that do not use harsh ingredients during processing. I use Bramble Berry At the moment. They do not use harsh ingredients and they smell great. They also offer small sample sizes so you can test them out first. I hope this helps 😊💜
Can you make a video on a moisturizing shampoo? Also, with this preservative, how king would the shelf life be? I like to make as lot at a time because I’m lazy 😂
I will put that on the list of DIY request. 😊 Also, the shelf life with vary depending on the formulation, environment, sanitation, measurements, and ingredients you use. I believe it’s best to test it for stability. I could take a guess, but that wouldn’t be the safest thing. As for this particular creation, I am still testing for stability now. I hope this helps 😊💜
May I ask why you didn’t use the natural alcohols in this one than in your other videos? Is it because you used Pathenol in this one. The alcohol are natural conditioners right? Do they help with the thickening? I know pathenol can be used for great slip but how do you know if your just using to much products? Can you use pathenol with the natural alcohol?
You can absolutely use them. I love fatty alcohols/emollients. For this particular DIY, I wanted the butters to do most of the work in this deep conditioner. So, I used GuarCat as a thickener during the water phase instead of Cetyl or Cetearyl alcohol. I hope this helps. 😊💜
I have looked into a few, but I want to make sure they are truly worth the investment before I suggest them to you all. I will be sure to keep you all posted 😊💜
Christy thomas Very possible, but you may need other ingredients to make up for what you will be missing. Btms50 has amazing conditioning and stabilizing properties. It gives the product texture, body, and it works as a great emulsifier on its own. With a regular emulsifying wax, you may need a co-emulsifier and more conditioning ingredients and maybe fatty alcohols like Cetearyl alcohol to thicken the product. I hope this helps. 💜
MsTuffFluff I get this question a lot. I am located in Birmingham, Alabama but I am not currently taking clients. I literally have no time 😅. At the moment, I only do tree braids for my family and friends. I will keep you all posted if things change. Also, I will be doing more tutorials soon 💜
I have never heard of or used Vegequat, but I don’t see why not. It seems as if it a vegetable based conditioning agent. Check the usage rate and definitely give it a try. I will also look into it and I may purchase some to test out for you all if you’d like. 💜
You are very welcome. There are no harsh ingredients in this deep conditioner. So, I believe it is perfectly safe to leave in. I hope this helps. 😊💜 Also, I do want to mention that there is raw Manuka honey in this deep conditioner, so you may want to wash it out or omit the Manuka honey to use it as a leave in.
Oh hello just subscribed to your channel and looking for something different for hair and skin , with less hard chemicals. I don't wear makeup and never have , maybe lipstick or lip gloss. Always rubbing my face and eyes. But I am comfortable with out makeup . Maybe you can help..
This is very true, but some ingredients/thickeners are designed to be dispersed easier without the use of glycerin. I mostly create a slurry when I am working with Xanthan gum. I hope this helps. 💜
Brianna Walcott If the oils will be introduced to water at anytime, I recommend using a preservative. If not, they usually can hold their own for awhile. If anything, oils are prone to oxidation. Use vitamin e to slow down this process. I hope this helps. 😊
The one I used works well with anhydrous products so it should work fine for butters. Also, it works well with natural raw materials like aloe Vera juice, which can be difficult to preserve. I hope this helps. 💜
Here are the links. However, the lid and jar did not come together. I hope this helps. 4 oz Clear plastic jars: amzn.to/2Aq62pN faux Bamboo lid with original jar: amzn.to/2mx94Bo
Keep in mind that these butters are still organic. Refined does not always equate to chemicals or heat. Organic clays may also be used to mildly refine the butter. This shea butter is almost odorless and a pleasure to work with. Your final product will shine. The deodorized cocoa butter will allow you to have all of the benefits of cocoa butter without the strong chocolate aroma. It has not been bleached or refined. Enjoy 😊💜

@@YayaDIYCreations thank you Queenie 😗
Where did you get the btms 50 from
Thank you, I have been to get an unscented Shea butter but not loose any of the properties of it. I don’t like adding much essential oils to try and cover the scent and it can sometimes be a bit strong.
How dare you make such good quality content.... No but on a serious note I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos.
How dare you leave such a kind comment. 😂😊 Thank you so much! I really try to bring quality content and information you all can use. I appreciate you all watching 💜💜

I would definitely appreciate a video on changing the Ph. As a person new to making hair products, I really value detailed videos like this 😁

Honey: humectant to draw in moisture to hair
Oil/butters: emollients to seal in moisture and provide a film/protective barrier to keep moisture in and dirt and humidity out.
Conditioning agents like honeyquat with some enough molecules to penetrate and bond with the hair strands, making the strand soft and pulp.
All of these play some role or another. These can work for your or against you depending on hair type and how you use them.
To answer the 2nd part, I am actually working on some products for scalp irritations and aliments like scalp psoriasis. I also find that heavy oils cause irritation. I am currently working on oil-free DIY formulations to help with this. Stay tune for more information. I truly hope this helps. 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations Lol I knew it your brilliant! I could tell because of your delivery. In addtion, to being self taught already makes you ahead of the game!! I wish you all the best in your future endeavors!! Yes I will be excited to see your Diy for scalp issues. You are so right about the oil as soon as I apply it within a day or two a small hair pimple or 2 will rise on my scalp. This so well needed for so many women that deal with the same thing. I thank you for your response, and great information. Stay Safe Peace & Blessings Yaya...🌻😊🙋🏾♀️
Hi Yaya, you’re videos are amazing! Are you able to advise on what fragrance oils are good to use please? I’ve been struggling with this
Thank you Yvonne! I will do my best to help. I use mostly essential oils, but sometimes they can be limiting. So, fragrance oils can be necessary sometimes. You want to make sure you are getting fragrance oils that do not use harsh ingredients during processing. I use Bramble Berry At the moment. They do not use harsh ingredients and they smell great. They also offer small sample sizes so you can test them out first. I hope this helps 😊💜
Thanks Yaya, I appreciate you, can’t wait for the preservative series ❤️
Have you ever tried making an edge control. (Strong ashell please)
What should the pH be? Also where do we get the fragrance? What fragrance did you use.
what are the percentages for each phase?
Approximately:
74.55% Water phase
24% Oil Phase
1.45% Cool Down Phase 💜
Besides the vegetable glycerin can I use slipper elm or aloe Vera gel?
What is another thickener you would recommend if i can’t get ahold of guar cat
Can you make a video on a moisturizing shampoo? Also, with this preservative, how king would the shelf life be? I like to make as lot at a time because I’m lazy 😂
I will put that on the list of DIY request. 😊 Also, the shelf life with vary depending on the formulation, environment, sanitation, measurements, and ingredients you use. I believe it’s best to test it for stability. I could take a guess, but that wouldn’t be the safest thing. As for this particular creation, I am still testing for stability now. I hope this helps 😊💜
I am interested in learning about adjusting the ph
Nice
Is that guarcat the same as guar gum powder?
CAN YOU USE BTMS IN MOISTURIZING HAIR CREAMS OR JUST FOR HAIR CONDITIONERS
Yes, you can. They give a lovely texture and feel to creams.
Was the citric acid a powder or did you mix it with water for it to be a liquid?
i'm interested in learning about how to measure ingredients.
I just love your videos sis! Keep growing!🥰
Thank you! I will do my best 😊💜
May I ask why you didn’t use the natural alcohols in this one than in your other videos? Is it because you used Pathenol in this one. The alcohol are natural conditioners right? Do they help with the thickening? I know pathenol can be used for great slip but how do you know if your just using to much products? Can you use pathenol with the natural alcohol?
You can absolutely use them. I love fatty alcohols/emollients. For this particular DIY, I wanted the butters to do most of the work in this deep conditioner. So, I used GuarCat as a thickener during the water phase instead of Cetyl or Cetearyl alcohol. I hope this helps. 😊💜
hi! if i were to order your chebe butter creme on your website .. would you recommend that product for low porosity hair ?
I don't know if someone noticed but the % are wrong in the description box. 74% is the water phase not the oil one :)
YIKES! I will correct it now. Thank you for catching that! 😊💜
@@YayaDIYCreations No problem :)
@@crepusco9821 😊💜
Can you recommend any books on how to make skin care with all the need to knows like emulsifying and etc ..
I have looked into a few, but I want to make sure they are truly worth the investment before I suggest them to you all. I will be sure to keep you all posted 😊💜
Can you use this as a prepoo ?
Buena pinta! Pero si traducción no hay remedio casero ni opción de compartir!! Gracias
I will do this without the chemicals lol I am going to tweak it .....
I loved the video, could you please tell me where you buy the Guarcat, thank you
Thank you! I got mines from Lotioncrafters 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations ❤❤❤❤
What is the shelf life?
hello, do I have to use BTMS 50? Can I use emulsifying wax?
Christy thomas Very possible, but you may need other ingredients to make up for what you will be missing. Btms50 has amazing conditioning and stabilizing properties. It gives the product texture, body, and it works as a great emulsifier on its own. With a regular emulsifying wax, you may need a co-emulsifier and more conditioning ingredients and maybe fatty alcohols like Cetearyl alcohol to thicken the product. I hope this helps. 💜
how do you set up your recordings?
Can you give us some recipe for the face cream made for wrinkles? But a little bit cheaper. ☺ ♥
Noted. I will keep that in mind 😊💜
What state are you in. I desperately want you to do my hair in tree 🌳 braids?
MsTuffFluff I get this question a lot. I am located in Birmingham, Alabama but I am not currently taking clients. I literally have no time 😅. At the moment, I only do tree braids for my family and friends. I will keep you all posted if things change. Also, I will be doing more tutorials soon 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations i understand!!!
Hi Yaya, can vegequart be used in place of honeyquat? Thank you
I have never heard of or used Vegequat, but I don’t see why not. It seems as if it a vegetable based conditioning agent. Check the usage rate and definitely give it a try. I will also look into it and I may purchase some to test out for you all if you’d like. 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations oh thank you, I'll try it out, and yes I'd be glad to see you give it a try🥰
can we replace the oil or do you have to use those specifically
You absolutely can. Different oils have different benefits, so you can pick which one works best for you. I hope this helps 💜
Hi where can I found guracat? Or can I substitute it with something else
jasmine harris Sorry that was a typo. I corrected it. It’s GuarCat and I usually get mines from Lotioncrafter. I hope this helps. 💜
Yaya thank so much I have a cart with them right now I’ll be adding this to it I truly appreciate you getting back to me so fast
Can I sell them?
Thanks for the video, please can this be live in?
You are very welcome. There are no harsh ingredients in this deep conditioner. So, I believe it is perfectly safe to leave in. I hope this helps. 😊💜
Also, I do want to mention that there is raw Manuka honey in this deep conditioner, so you may want to wash it out or omit the Manuka honey to use it as a leave in.
Yaya so manuka honey can’t be left in your hair?
Oh hello just subscribed to your channel and looking for something different for hair and skin , with less hard chemicals. I don't wear makeup and never have , maybe lipstick or lip gloss. Always rubbing my face and eyes. But I am comfortable with out makeup . Maybe you can help..
Thickeners can better be incorporated in water when they are first dispersed in Glycerin.
This is very true, but some ingredients/thickeners are designed to be dispersed easier without the use of glycerin. I mostly create a slurry when I am working with Xanthan gum. I hope this helps. 💜
Do you have to add preservative to oils?
Brianna Walcott If the oils will be introduced to water at anytime, I recommend using a preservative. If not, they usually can hold their own for awhile. If anything, oils are prone to oxidation. Use vitamin e to slow down this process. I hope this helps. 😊
Yaya yes it helps what preservatives do you recommend adding to oils
I want to replicate this but I want this to just be a butter and add aloe Vera juice. What preservative would be best?
The one I used works well with anhydrous products so it should work fine for butters. Also, it works well with natural raw materials like aloe Vera juice, which can be difficult to preserve. I hope this helps. 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations thank you so much!
Where are your containers from?
Here are the links. However, the lid and jar did not come together. I hope this helps.
4 oz Clear plastic jars: amzn.to/2Aq62pN
faux Bamboo lid with original jar: amzn.to/2mx94Bo
What model ph meter are you using
Here is the link for the specs: amzn.to/34Lmr3y
I hope this helps 💜
@@YayaDIYCreations Thank you! Can this be used directly in the finished product or must you make a slurry?
