DIY Whipped Coconut Body & Hair Moisturizer

While surfing my favorite YouTube channels I came across Sha'Kia Renea's DIY Whipped Coconut Hair & Body Mousturizer video. This homemade whipped butter so was beautiful I just had to try it... Of course with my own twist. 

After watching her video a couple of times, I ran out and got the materials needed to complete my project. 

I purchased:
Coconut oil (Walmart) $7.66
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Walmart) $2.00
Vitamin E Oil (Walmart) $3.52
Soap Colorant (Michael's) $2.99
Soap Fragrance Oil (Michael's) $4.99
Containers, measurement utensils, bowl for mixing (Dollar Tree). 

Directions:
*Combine coconut oil (room temperature)
EVOO and Vit E oil (natural preservative in mixing bowl. 
*Using a electric mixer-mix for 5-8 mins until whipped desired. 
Optional:
*pour the mixture into 2-3 bowls (if using different colors).
*Add color to each bowl
*Add fragrance (essential oil, soap fragrance or body oil)
*mix each bowl for 2-5mins until color blends
*Pour each bowl into containers.
(If layering colors pour individual colors into the same container.
*Store in refrigerator until you're ready to use. 

Put your mixture in cute decorative bowls and give as gifts. Perfect for the holidays.

Hope this helps!!!! Get your DIY on!!!!!
