1. Slowly heat the shea butter in the microwave on 60% power in 15 second increments until the shea butter is just soft enough to stir until smooth. DO NOT MELT! All lumps should smooth out with stirring. If you have lumps remaining, heat another 10 seconds on 60% power and see if the lumps will stir out. If you let your shea butter melt, you risk it crystallizing later.
2. Add the gel, castor oil and honey to the shea butter and whisk until all ingredients are evenly blended.
3. For best results, apply the custard to wet or damp hair and use a blow dryer on low/warm. Use a diffuser to set your natural curls with the least amount of shrinkage. The white looking product on your hair will disappear when you blow dry.
