The Secret Life of Butters In Your Hair!

[@Kee-rn9zd]

P.M.P sounds like another version of the L.O.C or L.C.O method etc. I love the way u delivered your knowledge to us non chemists without making it boring or too long. U made it straight to the point & easy to gather. Thanks!

[@jenniejanine1976]

Exactly!

[@adayfeoma2974]

I was about to say too... I am doing the LCO méthod... with hers it is more like OLC... I’ll try it to see🤗

It's definitely the LOC method.

[@mstamalaj]

I have fine, high porosity hair. My favorite butter is mango butter. To moisturize my hair I spray with water, apply a leave in conditioner or cream moisturizer, then apply an oil or a butter. My hair loves it! I’m def taking some mango butter on the cruise 💜

[@The4s]

Thanks for that I’m looking for a mango butter 👍 tried every other butter lol.

[@Xoxmickey05]

Just five minutes ago bought 5lbs of Shea butter and then saw this video pop and was like NOOOOOOO! Immediate buyers remorse before even viewing it, thinking you would recommend something else. My hair literally changes the second I put Shea butter on it! It immediately softens my hair and smooths down my frizz. I loveee it!! Ladies just an FYI a lot of the shea butters that claim to be USDA certified aren’t! I was double checking through the USDA integrity database to verify claims. Sharing for those of you who care...

[@CurlyChemistry]

Hey Helen, if your hair loves shea butter, girl use that thing!! Ain't nothing wrong with shea, I love shea too! Don't feel bad about that 5lb bag, always use what works for you! :-)

[@Xoxmickey05]

Curly Chemistry haha yes, thank you for your reply. I almost bought Mango butter but figured I would stick to what I was confident in. Maybe another time

[@NEW-CHAPTER.564]

Helen if you don't mind me asking. (I really do care) Where did you buy your Shea Butter? Thank you.

[@Xoxmickey05]

blueangel1985 I don’t mind at all...I ordered from a company called Mary Tylor Naturals, it’s my first time ordering so I can’t speak on quality. I just know they were certified on USDAs integrity site. They are on amazon but their site has more options and the shipping was the same price so I just ordered directly from there. However, what I can stand by is my fav company to get herbs, oils and butters is Mountain Rose Herb, their shipping (If order is under $75) is hefty but otherwise their quality is awesome and I appreciate the companies integrity. You can visit their site and read up on their fair trade practices and all their organic certifications. I do not work for them lol. I’ve just been a fan for years :) I would have ordered from them but due to Covid-19 they are closed. I hope that helps!

Because I'm medium to high porosity, I choose to bring Mango butter along with aloe vera and fenugreek. They are very moisturizing and the fenugreek just help with the retention of hair growth among other properties.

[@claudemirroses2167]

I must say your channel is very necessary. There are so may trends/routines out there for the natural hair community, but you explain and break it down to us. You putting the time to educate us can help someone figure out what works for their hair, instead of trying to guess what they must do to maintain length. AND I LOVE HOW YOUR VIDOES GET TO THE POINT! THEY ARE NOT UNNECESSARY LONG, but you explain everything in less than 10 minutes. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE FACTS AND KNOWLEDGE TO BACK EVERYTHING UP, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATURAL COMMUNITY. You are saving people hair! Keep doing what you love most, while helping people....MAY GOD BLESS!

From one chemist to another, thank you for all the facts! Too many consumers get deceived on products and it is refreshing to hear someone set the record straight on ingredients. So my cruise/vacation butter would have to be my kokum/murumuru mix - it's the best 😍

I now understand what works and why! I appreciate you soooo much!

[@giselevandervelde9755]

I can't wait to see your PMP Method. Hair grease.... Hmmm can we have a DIY? I want to formulate my own.

[@hierosgamosvibration2951]

Oh wow!!!! I am really loving the vibes of uour channel! And I also love the idea of the P&P method. I feel that my hair's porosity (LOW LOW LOW) and my texture (kinky) are reasons why the loc method and other variations as well as moisturizing and sealing methods are reasons why my hair always felt dry. Due to the chemical structure of penetrating products and non penetrating products, i feel that this makes sense: penetrating product, moisturize, non penetrating product! I'm gonna try it! Thank you again!!! And I love butters, but I don't have an absolute favorite for my hair. Soooo....I will have to say peanut butter lol. But shea butter and cocoa butter are amazing for my skin. You all be blessed and thank you again!!!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗🤗

[@freshfacesbeauty3691]

I’m new to your channel and this is the 2nd video I’ve watched. So impressed with you, I just purchased your e-book! My fav go to butter is Cocoa Butter. I love the full chocolatey smell, especially paired with peppermint essential oil. Also bcz it not only protects hair and adds shine, it protects your skin and gives it that “inner” glow.

[@sonyascott3758]

I’m just watching for support, this is interesting. I don’t use oils or butters in my hair at all...and my hair is grateful for it.

[@user-nq8nl4wh9w]

Reesha Miller quick question if you don’t use anything what is your method and what do you use? Im asking because i noticed lately that my hair is not responding well to butters or oils but im afraid that with a leave in conditioner only it will not seal in the moisture. Please help a sister out Im not really a fan of gel either only if im doing a wash and go. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[@jmocha74]

@@user-nq8nl4wh9w hope you don't mind me replying. I use and oil for my scalp.I seal my hair with grease or a hair serum. Oil rolls off my hair and gets everywhere unless it's a real light oil.

JMocha 74 thank you. I been using castor oil for my ends oil and goodbye to ssk. I use olive for my scalp.

[@simplymia3153]

Chebe butter can change the texture of your hair, by tightening/enhancing your curl pattern (and therefore make it feel course or rough textured).

[@vanessanicolas3916]

Very very informative. Before, i was wrong about using butter and oil at the same Time.😒 But now, i know what to use on my hair. Big thank you!!!!

[@amarie6223]

I am so happy i discovered your channel. Thank you so much for breaking down these hair products for us, and being honest.

[@kacewill]

I tend to avoid butters so I haven't bought very many. But if I have to choose it'd be between Shea or Cocoa. Shea might win bc its easy to find where I live, its affordable and doesn't require softening to scoop out. But I do really like cocoa butter bc once you manage to dig it out of the container and emulsify it it's much lighter, less greasy and it smells better than Shea butter. Tfs. Valuable info.

[@khadijaomer1261]

Wow, So PMP is like an enhanced version of LOC to prevent Hygral Fatigue! I must say I am impressed. Because i always been concerned about over moisture. I'll try that out. Will be waiting for your PMP video, I love the science you provide.

[@maryapatterson]

I would love you to explain protein sensitivity, how it comes about and what you can do to help grow and moisturise that particular type of hair. I believe many more black women may have this and not know. For many years, my hair never grew and I didn't know why. It was obviously breaking and I was using hair products with alot of aloe vera and coconut oil. I know now to avoid any hair products with coconut oil in it. Which means lots of reading on the back of bottles and jars. Luckily being a scientist helps me out.My hair will also turn brittle snd straw like if I leave them in too long:rice water ,aloe vera,henna and amla, bamboo etc. But it does love honey, avocado oil, light butters and milky leave in moisturisers. Thanks so much in advance. From a cousin also in STEM!

[@rionell412]

I use avocado butter! My hair is high density AND high porosity hair and fine strands. Silicones, grease and butters (and oils) are my friends lol as long as I wash weekly (sulfate free shampoo)

Looking forward to the PMP video.

[@MsMelOnSocial]

Can you do a video on DYI Whipped Shea Butter? How to make sure it keeps. What are the best companion oils to add. Since coconut oil is a penetrating oil does it make sense to add it into your whipped mixture. How to stabilize the texture of the whip. Thanks.

[@Xoxmickey05]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!! Could you touch up on organic, coldpress, and expelled oils vs not and what your thoughts are please?

[@CurlyChemistry]

Organic and cold press are the best to buy, I avoid expeller pressed because heat is normally involved in processing that oil. Heat can remove a lot of the nutrients and benefits that oils naturally come with.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have had dry hair for a long time.. snap, crackle and pop... Lots of people have told me try this and that or their natural hair product? Only to find out it did nothing for my hair. Just because it is all natural does not mean it is the right chemistry for my hair. Everybody has a formula for their hair and you have saved me from wasting more money on products that do not work for my hair texture. I now understand what I have been doing wrong. I had no real understanding of how some of these moisturizers + oils + butters + porosity. Based on porosity of my hair I can make an informed decision about the combination that works best.

[@lorydodoo1047]

PMP method makes alot more sense than LoC/LCO!!! II say this because it does may it CLEAR the actual purpose of products for each step. I have high porosity hair and penetrate is a must for me, because hygal fatigue. Hygal fatigue is actually real because in the summer, I was constantly spraying my hair with water to give my hair a moisturized look and it would dry again and snap easily, also I would add oils like grapeseed oil thinking it is penetrating but it was really protecting. Currently, I am using Belle BAR organic products such as onion and garlic oil, and BBO argan oil butter, adowa baomint oil, grapseed oil and now avocado oil. How do I create a hair regimen using the PMP method for my hair regmien such as pre poo days, hot oil+deep conditioning and my leave in steps? Thank you so much!!

I like hair butter for my fine, high porosity strands the best. Hair grease is too oily/greasy for me due to the fact that I have to be a little heavy handed with my products to fully protect my hair. Butters can be oily too but I find that butters (Shea is my absolute favorite) works extremely well on my hair due to the fatty content. I use 22nd Century natural hair products and honey, they are the best thing that’s EVER happened to my hair and it’s black owned and family operated. I use her shampoo bar, deep conditioner, herbal hair pomade and her twisting cream and my hair has been in the best shape of its life. For a leave in, I use Lush Super Milk Conditioning spray. Omg, not only does it smell heavenly but it leaves my hair extremely soft and moisturized. I spray on my hair and slather on my hair pomade. Moisture for two weeks I promise you!
