Hello naturalistas. Hope your week has been lovely and your hair naturally fierce!
Well, I have a treat for you!
I'm going to share how to make your very own NappyGirl UberMoist Pudding!
Many naturalistas will agree that natural hair is at its very best behaviour when it is well moisturised.
As the weather becomes cooler and dryer, there is no time like now to whip out your hair moisturisers.
The NappyGirl Ubermoist Hair Pudding has been created to moisturise dry hair whether it is in its natural coily /curly state or it has been straightened with heat appliances.
Each ingredient in the pudding has been selected because of its natural benefits to kinky coily / curly hair.
This is a general recipe that works for most hair types. We do add or subtract ingredients depending on particular hair needs such as breakage, thinning and the likes.
So, let's get mixing!
WHAT YOU NEED - A pan of water (put to boil)
- A clean dry glass mixing bowl
- One glass spatula
-1 ball of unrefined Shea Butter (That should be the regular icecream scoop size)
-3 tbs Aloe Vera Gel (This will be our main source of water)
- 1 tbs glycerine
- 5 Vitamin E gel capsules
- A drop each of Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Lemon, Tea tree, Vanilla and Menthol essential oils
- 1 tsp Sulphur
- 2 tbs castor oil
- 1 tbs Extra Virgin Oil
- 1 tbs pure unrefined coconut oil
- 1 tbs Sesame seed oil
- 1 gel capsule multivitamin or 1 tsp multivitamin syrup
- A pair of gloves and hair covering
- Containers or jars for your mix.
DIRECTIONS - Cover your hair and clean up your work area. Wear gloves and proceed.
- Place the Shea butter in the glass mixing bowl.
- Put mixing bowl in the pan and fill with enough water to half the height of the mixing bowl. Be careful to prevent the water from splashing into the mixing bowl.
- Place the pan on medium heat and bring to boil. This is done to avoid direct contact of the glass mixing bowl and the fire.
- When the Shea butter is now liquid (thoroughly melted), add the olive oil, castor oil,.sesame seed oil, coconut oil and sulphur. Mix carefully with glass spatula.
- Reduce heat. Add the aloe Vera gel, then glycerine and mix thoroughly.
- Add all the essential oils, one drop at a time and mix again.
- Turn of the heat. Add contents of the Vitamin E capsules and multivitamins capsules.
- Now whisk up the ingredients thoroughly until it's smooth, light and has even consistency.
Heat under medium for 5 mins, then whip again.
- Pour carefully into receiving jar. Cover tightly and refrigerate.
For hygienic reasons, I do not use water. Water content is solely from the aloe vera gel. The vitamin E is an antioxidant and acts to preserve the natural ingredients.
The sulphur is antimicrobial and also a component of keratin, what the hair is composed of.
We all know about the wonders of Shea butter. In addition to being a source of vitamins and minerals, it's also a mild sunscreen. Castor oil thickens hair, Coconut oil strengthens hair strands, olive oil improves elasticity, sesame seed protects your strands and glycerine traps moisture.
I could go on and on but you can Google up the details of each ingredient. I haven't gotten to the goodness of the essential oils yet!
This product is also great on the skin.
PRODUCT USE Use on wet or dry hair, preferably on damp hair to seal in moisture. Can be used on the scalps as all ingredients are natural and are easily absorbed.
Apply every day to moistened ends to reduce breakage.
Can also be used as a styler.
This product is great for the gentle scalp of young children as it contains no petrolatum and uses all natural organics ingredients sourced locally.
CAUTION Some people may be allergic to some natural ingredients. If you are please eliminate them from the mix. If you are not sure, test for 24hrs in a small portion of your inner arm.
PRESERVATION Since no artificial preservatives such as parabens has been added, please refrigerate to preserve product.
If you are unable to make this yourself or your hair has special needs, we can make to order for your hair type.

Sounds great! I want to make my own moisturizer (i.e. water or aloe juice as first ingredient) but I'm too lazy to figure out how to use emulsifiers properly. This sounds like it'd be a great alternative!
