Sticky Shea butter ends?

thanks for the information . i am planning to buy the real thing from a site that people say is the best .

thanks

i bought my shea butter from L'Occitane and it is the only one i can afford to get here . it is kinda off whitish/very light yellow  and it dosent smell nice . i wonder if it unrefined !!!

Yes, the shea butter is white.  Does that make it any less efficient?

It is probably refined.  If it's white in color it is definitely refined. 

Just curious, what kind of shea butter do you have?  Is it refined or unrefined?  I have unrefined and I always rub it in my hands until it melts, it takes very little to get the job done.  I use maybe a pea sized amt.

With that shea butter I always rub my hands together until its completely melted like, WomanlyCharmed stated, but dont use to much because since you have to 'melt' it anyways a small amount goes a long way persay.

Hello everyone!  :D
I just recently purchased some 100% pure shea butter and I used it on my ends last night before I did my braid out.  I was wondering if anyone else who has used this product noticed any stickiness when it comes to coming the hair out?  The ends were sticky and caused me to comb some of my hair out.  Should I have let the shea butter melt in my hands more before I applied it to my ends?  Thank you for listening everyone.  God Bless!
