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! ------------- Stacey Dash is my hair idol. my fotki www.fotki.com/girlynextdoor "This One" password = waves |

I always rub my hands together to melt the shea butter completely, then put it on, otherwise it leaves white flakes on my hair. ------------- The Lord is my light and my salvation...whom shall I fear?

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. ------------- ThAbAdDeStBaBy http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 - http://public.fotki.com/ThAbAdDeStBaBy3 Hair Goal: BSL by late 2007-early 2008 Hair now: net weave w/EP-RT |

Thank you very much. I really like this shea butter it seems sooo
moisturizing which is exactly what my hair needs, I do feel like I
still need a little more however. :(

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. ------------- |

I am guessing it is refined since it doesn't say "unrefined" on the
container. Yet, on the container is does say 100% pure... so..
I'm not sure.

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?

I was reading an article about shea butter just yesterday. They
say that there are different levels of refining it, when I saw a
picture of shea butter is was pure yellow. The shea butter you
have is less refined than mine, that is for sure.

Unrefined shea butter has more nutrients in it. By refining it some of the nutrients are bleached out. Here is where I got mine, they also provide a lot of information here. http://nasabb.com/nasabbnew/factssheablack.htm - http://nasabb.com/nasabbnew/factssheablack.htm ------------- |
