Whole Elise, so glad to have found you on the very 1st day of 2021. Your channel is indeed a blessing and an answer to my prayers. Thank you for quality content and education you put out here. I am currently enrolled in a natural skincare/haircare school and I must say, all you share is GOLD. Following you on Instagram, I am a fan already 😁💃
I knew I wasn’t the only one who noticed the changes in SM products. It’s unfortunate, because I used to heavily rely on their products for my hair’s needs. But DIY hair products have gotten me better results, so I appreciate your videos very much!
I made this deep conditioner today and I love it!! 🥰 It is so moisturizing and has the perfect amount of slip for detangling. This is a keeper recipe and definitely rivals any store bought deep conditioner. Thanks again Elise!
Mine doesn’t. What am I doing wrong? It tangled my hair badlyyyy … may be illnzry detangling before applying it or I may rinse out immediately cos I don’t know what to do again. Never had this problem
Elise, would you do a hair routine video for us? Maybe even detailing why you use the products and ingredients you use and your density, porosity, etc? Your hair is beautiful 😊
I am always amazed at your product knowledge and how you break things down in each of your demonstrations. Your videos are so appreciated! Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️
I think SheaMoisture changed the formulation of their deep conditioner is financial, I can't think of anything else. It sounds like it was the bomb ten years ago with BTMS. Both your conditioners gave you good results. Happy New Year Elise. 27.12.2020
Shea moisture sold their company to Unilever 5 years ago. It’s no longer a black-owned company. The new company changed the formula, lowered the high quality ingredients and watered down the product. It’s not a good product anymore.
My heart just about stopped when I accidentally cut the video off as you were saying, "this will be my last video..." I'm so glad that I played it again to hear you say, "...for the year 2020." I have listened to you, subscribed to your channel and web page and have you to thank for the growth and condition of my hair. Because of following your recipes and then being able to branch out by personalizing those recipes and learning from other formulators like yourself, my hair is in the best condition and longest length I've had since I was a child. If you get a patreon page, I will GLADLY pay for membership. Thank you for your generosity in providing caring, thorough, and free instruction here but you really need to be paid for your invaluable knowledge. Thanks so very much Elise and I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous new year.
Wow thank you so much, Annette! Haha sorry about that - don't worry, I'll still be here in the new year 😅 I'm so glad you're able to use the information here to see growth and improvement with your own hair - reading your comment is the perfect way to round of the year. Thank you for all the support and see you in 2021! 💚
You've got so much knowledge Elise, it always bowls me over! Thank you for teaching me a new skill in 2020, it really helped get through this challenging year. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and all the very best for 2021 😁
BLESS your BEAUTIFUL heart Elise!!!!! I have spent hours searching the web for a DIY recipe to approximate the old version that I loved. Imagine my joy when I stumbled upon this detailed tutorial. My scalp and hair thank you!!!
When they changed the formula to the Curl Enhancing Smoothie formula years back, I lost faith in them then! Thank you, I'll be making this as soon as I get my hands on some cetyl alcohol!
Thank you for the video! I really enjoy your DIYs. I found your channel not too long ago and have already tried a couple tutorials. Your videos are very clear and being able to hop over to your blog for more explanation and assistance really is a wonderful touch. Trying out your xanthan gum gel (subbing with amaranth and silk amino acids bc I have dermatitis when encountering the wheat protein). My area is more humid as well as my hair is very low porosity, so I am interested to see how well it performs for me! ❤️
This used to be my OG, ride or die deep conditioner. I still believed it worked the same up until I realized that my hair seemed to be slowly becoming drier and drier without me changing a thing. I had to admit that it was the products, Shea Moisture, and try to find something else. I used to exclusively use the entire Raw Shea line as a system and initially had awesome results. Thank you for recreating the original. I'm going to give this a try.
This is amazing. I am definitely going to try it. Is it more cost effective to make this instead of buying it. Your hair is so healthy. I need to start taking care of my hair
Hey Elise I absolutely love your videos and all the the knowledge you share. Thanks for breaking down recipes for our understanding. Keep up the good work ❤
You just answered the question what happened to the company after the sale the skimipt on the good products to make money and the people left in droves
I just love your videos. You should have at least a million followers! I always learn so much when watching your videos. How do you keep your hair looking so shiny? I have to coat my strands daily in order for them to look shiny.
I recently bought several Shea moisture hair care products. I noticed the formula has changed in all the products. Also noticed all the products had coconut oil in it. 😖 Being coconut oil free is one of the reasons why I continued to by a lot of their products.
Hi Elise! You are such a wonderful woman and your recipes too!!! After trying some of your recipes, I feel we actually get so low good quality stuff in the market. I am really looking forward for a conditioner recipe that can be used after shampooing the hair. Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us!! :-)
I love all your products and the way you explain ... Could you make more solid products? Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and teaching us so much.
Please please please.... Make a play list like this one. I have tried these recipeis all. And nothing in the market equal them. My hair is extremely Soft.,shiny and Moisturized..... I badly need your recipeis for The rest 9f Shea Moisture products like the shampoo, leave in, Mist.. And I will be blessed if u agreed to make recipeis like in the black Jamaican castor oil line. Love. Love.. And alot of appreciattion ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing❤🔆 I always enjoy how entertaining and informative your videos are! If you'd like, could you curate a video explaining the process of creating a formula, how to use the correct percentage and how to create a formula from scratch. Everyone else videos are hard to understand on this topic or they fail to delve deeper in the subject. Thank you for your time and commitment!!!!
👑♥️♥️♥️💎Wow!!! I'm so GLAD 👍 to find your Videos. Especially for the perfume one, I can wait to learn more from you. Thank you so much for sharing all these great stuff with us.😃 May God bless you. 💥💥💥💥💥👑💎🔥🎁♥️🌟👊
I love your videos I made your shea moisture deep conditioner makeover, wonderful. I wanted to ask you, I love a Shea Moisture product, the Black Castor Oil Leave In Conditioner, could you make it again?😊❤
I use to love thar hair mask and now they added a whole bunch of mess that irritates my scalp and doesn't work. Now i just mix warm olive oil and Greek yogurt for a hair mask.
Young lady you are awesome, OMG!!!😃 Thank you for all the information, and how you present it. I have a question for you. Where can I buy true blue honest to goodness 100% Shea butter?
You probably won't see this but Please please please can you also recreate the OG shea moisture leave in conditioner. the one that used to say "grow and restore" like back in 2013 before they changed it. Not the new "strengthen and restore" (people have vids and pics of the old container here on TH-cam. my hair grew so long then fell out once they switched and didn't tell us.
Could you make a version of this recipe for locs? Products for locs have to be water based and extremely thin(very watery) as to not cause any product build up
1) it is necessary to add sodium lactate 2) if i would like to add additives like Powder based products ( hibiscus powders ,amala powder) The percentage to be added for 500 gram base soap. 3) the super fat needed to be kept ( percentage) 4)is any harm for using phenoxyethanol 5) how much amount of water to be added to dilute the KOh
I am so thankful I came across your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have a question...I have vit. B5 powder, as you used a liquid, what percentage of the powder should I use, or should I make a B5 and water mixture and then add that at the original percentage rate? I hope all that makes sense! Lol. I make most of my cosmetics, serums, etc, and I am now binge watching your channel!
Who remembers the old school Shea Moisture Deep Conditioners? Get the full recipe here 😉: wholeelise.com/blog/diy-shea-moisture-deep-conditioner/
Are you self taught or did you do a course, if so what course would you recommend? Love watching your videos, very helpful.
Could you please do the same thing with Mielle’s mint deep conditioner as well (the one in the green label collection)?!?!
Your hair is gorgeous,looks very moisturized
I can’t wait to try this!!! 🤗

Which formula did you make. What is you porosity? I have low porosity hair, I should use the one with more glycerine it.
Mine doesn’t. What am I doing wrong? It tangled my hair badlyyyy … may be illnzry detangling before applying it or I may rinse out immediately cos I don’t know what to do again. Never had this problem

Lol
you seriously need more views.. you deserve more subscribers. the effort you put into these videos is impressive. i really appreciate it! thank you!
So true. I'm merging off the market to homemade...right after these products are done.
I am always amazed at your product knowledge and how you break things down in each of your demonstrations. Your videos are so appreciated! Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️
Aww thank you, glad you like them! 😊

Thanks Farrah! It's crazy how inexpensive fatty alcohols are compared to butters so you're maybe right 😅
I used their products one time and it give me a burning sensation in my scalp. The shampoo dries my hair out like really bad. It was horrible
I heard they were really good in the past before they sold their brand.
@@WholeElise what’s the shelf life ?
Shea moisture sold their company to Unilever 5 years ago. It’s no longer a black-owned company. The new company changed the formula, lowered the high quality ingredients and watered down the product. It’s not a good product anymore.

Try looking on Amazon.
1) it is necessary to add sodium lactate
2) if i would like to add additives like
Powder based products
( hibiscus powders ,amala powder)
The percentage to be added for 500 gram base soap.
3) the super fat needed to be kept ( percentage)
4)is any harm for using phenoxyethanol
5) how much amount of water to be added to dilute the KOh
