Butters- Which ones are you using and what is your hair type?

[carameldiva]

Just curious as to what delicious butters you guys have on hand and which ones work best for you and your hair type. I am a 3c/4a. I have pistachio butter, olive butter, shea butter and jojoba butter.

I know that mowrah butter was great on my hair and scalp. Love the pistachio butter as well. The others I will be trying when I remove my tree braids.

I am pretty sure that I am a 4b hair type, and I like Sheabutter, I would like to try avocado and mango butter too

Wow, didn't realize there were so many different types of butters for the hair. But I use whipped shea butter from schescentit.com. It's so light and fluffy you barely know it's there.
ETA: Forget to add that I'm 4a hair type with a teeny tiny bit of 3C in some spots!

i also like hydratherma naturals growth lotion. its a lotion that contains five butters including shea, olive and almond. it also has glycerin.

For the ladies who use unrefined shea butter; what kind are you using?? I tried one from whole foods and it weighed my hair down something terrible and my curl definition was non-existant. Could this have just been a bad batch??? What does your shea butter do to your hair??

 

[gloomgeisha]

I use Avocado and Hemp Butter, I have 4a/4b hair.

 

[Highly Favored8]

Elasta QP Mango Butter 3b&c

 

[sugaplum]

I'm texlax 3c/4a. My favorite is my homemade Whipped Shea butter (I have it in my fotki) and shealoe. I haven't tried any other butter.

I'm 3c/4a and I love unrefined shea butter...

 

[**SaSSy**]

I been sticking to shea butter because it works and too tired right now of being a product junkie to try something else. Maybe early next year when I run out of my shea I will try a different butter.

Ooohh almost forgot: 3c/4a fine relaxed

 

[Evazhair]

majority 3c
the only butter that I have tried that I can use is avocado. It has to be thinned with some oil and I can only use it once bet. washes. I have to use it knowing I will have to wash soon. I think butters are too heavy for my relaxed hair

I use and LOVE shea butter. I generally use it on my wet ends (and 2nd and 3rd day hair), but lately, I've been experimenting with it on wet twists. My hair adores it! I'm 4a/3c and my hair is always parched. Shea makes it feel like butter and it also helps to control my thick a$$ roots.

hth!

i'm 4b and I like burdock root butter cream and the now discontinued olive conditioner and detangling cream. i'd like to try avocado butter, since i like avocado oil. i'm not the biggest fan of plain shea butter.

 

[Paradox]

I LOVE shea butter.
I would like to try avocado butter in the future.

*how is everyone using their shea butter? I find mine hard to distribute through my hair

 

[delray712000]

I use shea butter

 

[locabouthair]

I am a 4z and I bought avocado butter and dont like it all. Its too gritty. I'm better off just using it for my skin.

 

[oldcrayons]

I'm 3b/c and i rarely put stuff in my hair

 

[Likeyouneverseenme]

Pretty sure I'm a 3c and I live for Hempseed Butter!
