Sticky Shea butter ends?

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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