DIY Whipped Cocoa, Shea, Mango Butter (Hair & Body)

[@randijarvis1511]

Your technique is absolutely PERFECT! Too many people are just throwing the ingredients together and think it's just gonna create itself, not realizing there is a bit of a science on how to blend the different types of oils so they'll bind together and not separate. Allowing it to cool too slowly will result in a gritty mess - not layering the oils in at different stages of cooling will result in separation and destruction of the beneficial properties of the more delicate EO's - bringing any of your oils to a boil over direct heat or in the microwave or even heating too much beyond their melting point will also destroy any beneficial properties. I used this technique with anti-inflammatory EO's and no more knee pain - I also made a cooling butter with a bit of arrowroot for my mom's head (she's battling cancer and bald as the day she was born) she LOVES the silky smooth cooling feeling. Next on my list -- stretch mark and loose skin butter!! You're amazing, thank you!!

Hi Randi, Thank you for watching and commenting! I really really appreciate this comment so much :D Sounds like you make some awesome DIY's yourself, I am sure your mother really appreciates your mix. My prayers go out to you and your family, sending positive energy and strength to your mother. I have seen some whipped butter recipes without melting down the butters at all (mainly Shea butter/mango butter). I live in really really warm climates so by the time I get my raw butters in the post it has soften and solidified again a few times so I always end up double broiling to get rid of any grittiness. I find melting and whipping a few times really helps to give the butter super fluffiness which is something I personally like. Once again thank you so much for watching and commenting! :)

I learned this the hard way. How and when you mix the ingredients truly does matter.

[@lynellethompson5521]

Do you have recipes for these items that you would be willing to share?

[@cuttybre]

OMG I followed this tutorial back in January and I used this on my hair for twistouts and braidouts every week. I've noticed some major growth in my hair!! Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm all out now and I'm about to make more. My hair loves this so much more than the store bought stuff.

LOVE the way you make everything SIMPLY put STRAIGHT to the POINT CLARITY and OVERALL EASY to make will be FOLLOWING you in you your uploaded videos

[@Maicurls]

@Jessie Hughes (sorry for whatever reason I can't reply directly to your comment) Thanks for commenting and sharing :) I honestly only use it on my body and hair not necessarily my face. For some this might be a little heavy, especially if you have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts because it is really rich. If you do decide to apply it on your face I would suggest using it before bed, that way you won't look "glowy" (oily). I also use coconut oil on my skin but this has been amazing for my body. I love it on my hair after using something moisturizing like a leave-in conditioner. It is also great for dry hair or damaged hair, a little goes a LOOONG way so you only need a little bit at a time especially since it looks like you have straight hair. Too much will probably weigh down your hair and make it look limp. Sorry for the essay LOL just wanted to cover all aspects :)

[@juliettaloves]

This is wonderful! I'm slowly moving towards natural skin/ body/ hair care. I loved your recipe.

I like how you work clean, and give measurement, no acting or talking. I followed the recipe with some minor changes I added more coconut oil which makes it creamier and my skin needs the extrea oil too.. It's great. I am making another batch today. Thanks for sharing!

As a cream do you mean a "lotion"? If so it could but there are other ingredients needed for that in order to combine the oil/butter with water and to make sure that it doesn't go moldy it would need other ingredients that I don't/haven't used.

[@melencolley]

I cannot wait to try this. I love pure coco butter. I put it in my baby and just want to eat her up. I have a question about the mango butter. Do you find that it's Extra extra grainy? I used it once and had to whip the heck out of it just to get the grains out. Thanks for sharing your recipe. So if I was just making this for my body (I have Locs) I would just leave out the glycerin? Or does that have some effect on the skin as well??

[@Maicurls]

melencolley Thank you for watching and commenting :). I am a huge fan of cocoa butter too, I have a hard time pulling my face away from the container it smells so so so good! Glycerin is actually a moisturizing ingredient for the skin as well as the hair and it works in the same way on the skin as it does on the hair. It would draw in moisture (humidity) from the air to the area applied of course only if you happen to live in an area with humidity. Glycerin is not a necessary/essential ingredient so if you do not want to use it that is completely up to you. Not everyone's skin/hair likes it (mainly depends on how much humidity/if any is in the air) so it can be skipped altogether. I would love to know what you think if you try the mix :)

[@Maicurls]

melencolley Forgot about the mango butter! Mine wasn't really grainy but I think if you melt it down and then whip from versus whipping it while it is "solid" it will get rid of the graininess. That tends to happen due to changes in temperature usually when it is being transported so it might have melted on its way to you and then when it arrived it could have cooled down and solidified again. The change in temperature can cause the graininess but it is nothing to worry about. I have had that issue with Shea Butter but double broiling always gets rid of that for me :) Hope it helps! :D

Hello, thank you so much for making this easy to follow video! I'm excited to try to make this today :) Question: what is the grape seed oil used for? I don't think I have any of that oil, what could I use as a substitute? Also, would you recommend adding cornstarch to give it a less-greasy feeling? If so, at what point would you add it. Thanks again!!

[@Maicurls]

+Monica Cortez Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Grape Seed Oil is just another carrier oil, it can be replaced with any other carrier oil you like/have at home (any one will work e.g jojoba, olive oil, almond more, virgin coconut oil etc). You could add a little corn strarch (I personally haven't) but I suggest taking a small amount of the carrier oil you will be using on the side in a separate bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch a little at a time and stir till it is combined and lump free, then add it to the melted butter and other carrier oils. I recommend doing this before you have placed it in the fridge & whip it, this way you will make sure it has been well distributed. Hope that helps, and hope you love it! :D

If you need a US based source my suggestion is to check out www.butters-n-bars.com/ A lot of my US friends swear by them. If you mean the actual containers I use, I do not live in the States so I don't have a "shop" I can list but I normally buy my containers from regular grocery stores where they stack different types of Tupperware, containers etc. The other place I like to hunt is basically a kitch shop something similar to a dollar store.

[@Eryngy]

Thank you so much for sharing, it looks awesome I must try! Why do you need to add carrier oil twice? It that important part to keep it whipped?

[@Maicurls]

+MAI Ya Thank you so much for watching and commenting. No you do not have to add the oils in two separate steps however, when some first initially make the butter (their first attempt) people are not sure of how much/little oil they really need or want in it. My measurements do not have to be followed to the letter, this way you have more control because once the oil has been added there is no way to remove it. If it is done in steps you can control the quantity added but it is not necessary, especially after you have done this before and know how much you want included. I hope you will love your whipped butter! :D

[@Eryngy]

+Maicurls Thank you very much! Then I will definitely follow your recipe until I find right one :) Yay!

[@Maicurls]

MAI Ya I hope you like it :D Just keep in mind that this was made in warmer months so you could potentially feel like you might need to use more oil (since I assume it is cold where you are for at the moment) but you will figure it out as you whip :). Happy mixing!

[@lifenfavor2013]

Thank you for responding. I've made my second batch of whipped shea butter and I'm impressed but I'm trying to aim for a creamier look like yours. It may sound crazy but I'm using a handheld blender right now, but wonder if that has to do with the final product or an ingredient gives it that fluffiness? I think you mentioned you whip for 10 minutes which I know that's my issue, because the handheld tends to loose control on speed 1. I'm opened to any suggestions. :)

[@Maicurls]

+Michelle Allen The thanks goes to you :). I think a few things can sort of affect the fluffiness. I do live in really warm climates so my butters tend to not be as "solid" as those that live in cooler climates. So house temperature does play a role. I do think the longer you whip the fluffier it becomes. I also think that the blades of the blender warm up the butter (which is not necessarily a bad thing) but that makes the butter more runny than fluffy and a whisk doesn't heat up. Also what other oils and butters do you add? I find Virgin coconut can make a difference too due to its melting/solidification temperatures. Coconut and any other oil should be fine. Perhaps try using light oils (if you haven't already) e.g. almond or grapeseed. I think you might just need to experiment a little (i know it can be annoying lol). Write down each time you make a batch the exact amounts you use so when you find your favorite combo you have it noted down.

I really enjoyed the video and gave it a shot today. I used African shea butter instead of regular shea (not sure if difference) and olive oil instead of grape seed oil. Mine turned out ptettt greasy and it melts as soon as I touch it. It seemed to take a lot longer in the fridge and while mixing. What can I do to make it less greasy and hold its texture better? I still love it and plan to use all of it on my pregnant belly!!! Thank you for sharing the recipe!!

[@Maicurls]

Sorry for the delayed reply. People use arrowroot powder to cut down on the greasiness feel. Corn starch powder would be an alternative. Olive oil can be a bit greasy so that might be it but it really depends on personal preference. Also a little realllly goes a lonnnng way try using a lot less at a time. Using more of the harder butter (cocoa) and a little less of the softer butter can help prevent it from melting while out, but keep in mind too much of the harder butter can also make the mix too hard (for your preference). It is always a balancing act.

[@lynellethompson5521]

@@Maicurls how much arrow root powder or corn starch powder would you add to your recipe?

[@Maicurls]

Lynelle Thompson i personally have never experimented with arrow root or corn starch but i know there are a few recipes only. Not just off “gut instinct” or if I were experimenting I wouldn’t add more than 1 teaspoon maybe 1.5 teaspoons max and I would add it to the melted butters (off the heat) before placing it in the fridge. You don’t want to have a white powdery residue once the butters get absorbed lol. Then you can tweak the recipe depending on how your skins feels and looks after adding just a tiny bit first. Hope that helps 🙏🏽

[@lynellethompson5521]

@@Maicurls Thank you!!

[@sonyamichalowski552]

Your video is very informative!! I have a question. Does your mixture harden over time? Some recipes that I have tried in the past are only creamy for the first couple of hours and then turn into hard blocks. How do you keep it creamy? Thanx!!

[@Maicurls]

Hi KSKS II thank you for watching and commenting :). You generally want to use more soft butters versus hard butters and also use at least one oil (if not more), that will help keep the butter from "turning into hard blocks". You might not even need to use a hard butter like cocoa because the climate of where you lives plays a role too. If your general weather is relatively low then that will affect how hard or soft the butter remains. So Shea butter with mango or any other soft butter might be enough, along with an oil. I live in really hot/warm country so for 8 months of the year my butter is soft and during our "winter" the mix becomes a little firmer but not a hard block. You also want to make sure than you whip the butter for long enough. Whipping it allows the mix to incorporate oxygen which helps to make it light and fluffy. Sorry for this essay just wanted to explain as best I could :)

[@sonyamichalowski552]

***** Thanks for the info!

[@ifeyinwamaryann1684]

Great one... But will it be grease on the skin??

[@Maicurls]

Ifeyinwa Jenny if you leave some water on your skin after a shower, using a spoon scrape out a tiny bit, work into your palms then the skin and wait for a few minutes for it to absorb into your skin; it won’t leave your skin greasy. A little goes a LONG way so you literally only need a tiny amount.

[@eshwarikishor5868]

Hi Mai ! This butter is totally amazinggg, Thank You so much!! I never knew this technique of adding in the carrier oils at 2 different intervals and also I had been whipping my butters only once rather than thrice like you do! Could you please explain why you add the carriers at different intervals, how does this benefit ?

[@Maicurls]

Eshwari Kishor thank you for watching and commenting! So one of the main reasons I add the oils in stages is because if you are following my recipe and measurements it gives you a chance to reduce the amount of oil (if you wish) because it’s basically impossible to get the oil out once it’s been added to the butters. So this way when you are “new” to it, you get a chance to control the amounts you use (till you find the right measurements you like). For some this might be too much or too little oil but adding more oil is easier than dumping in too much at once and regretting it. I also add in stages because I whip it in stages. This makes it easier to get the cream to be light and airy when I not only whip it 3 times but I’m adding oils at different points too. I’ve found the more you whip it, the “lighter” it gets, the more oil you use or less harder butters the “lighter” the cream. Hope that helps and once again thank you! 🙏🏽

Hello! great video. Can I add extra EO oils for a stronger scent? Or is it beneficial to add the fragrance at two different times as well?

[@Maicurls]

Hi Upfulsistren, Thank you and thank you for watching and commenting. You can use more Essential Oil but please keep in mind that EO's are really really strong, too much of it can irritate the skin/scalp. You want to add the EO when the butters are no longer warm (when they are not melted) so they don't destroy the integrity of the oils, so you can just add them at the end before you do the final whip. Hope that helps :D

Nice video! How long does this last and how long does stay "Whippy"?

[@Maicurls]

Hi M Jones, Thank you and thank you for commenting :) It really depends on the weather where you live, the colder the more firm it will be. Mine doesn't stay quite as "whippy" as time goes on but it also doesn't become firm either. When I scoop it out of the container I almost can feel the air bubbles ...if that makes sense lol. It has a firm foamy feel to it. (Probably doesn't answer you question...but yes it stays soft but not like whipped cream the entire time).

Hi, love the video! Just curious, what does the glycerin do?

[@Maicurls]

Hi Sharon Forrest :) Glycerin is a humectant (moisturizing ingredient) that draws moisture in the air to the area it is applied. I put it as an optional ingredient because not everyone's hair plays nice with glycerin, it can depend on the weather where you live. If you happen to live in an area with sufficient moisture in the hair (humidity) then it can be a miracle ingredient however, if you live in cold and dry climates then the glycerin will have the opposite effect since there is no humidity in the air it can leave your hair feeling dry. I suggest looking at your favorite products to see if they contain glycerin, if they do then you can go ahead and add it if you like. Hope that helps :) Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@kuzhal1411]

great. how long can we use it. since there is no preservation has added.

Kulal S it depends on the self life of your ingredients. If your oils and butters have a 1 year shelf life then so too will your whipped butter. As long as you have sanitized everything and don’t introduce water etc to the mix.

Hi Jennifer, Thank you :) I am not sure where you live but you can try in your local supermarkets. I sometimes get my containers from there, they usually stack them around where they have glassware. My favourite place is the local kitsch shop. They sell all sorts of random (useless) stuff for cheap and they also sell really pretty cheap containers so if you have something similar to a $1 $2 $3 store try there.

Looks great! I thought I saw you use Grapeseed oil twice?

[@Maicurls]

Thank you. In the video I add the oils like that because when you first start making it you want to make sure you’re not adding in too much. People will always tweak the recipe so I suggest adding the oils in stages this way you don’t dump too much oil in one go while still experimenting because once it in there it’s there. So until you get comfortable with the oil amount after practice I suggest going a little at a time between whipping. I normally don’t have to because I’ve made it so much but on occasion I will add in stages too.

[@sidn1966]

Hi what is the purpose of the glycerin? Whats the difference in putting it in and leaving it out?

[@Maicurls]

Sid N Hi. Glycerine is a humectant which is an ingredient that draws moisture in the air to the hair or skin. It is a hit and miss ingredient for some because depending on the amount of moisture in the air (the humidity) it can work or not depending on where you live which is why I suggest it as an optional ingredient. Not everyone's hair responds well to glycerine because for some it can cause frizz (again depending on humidity). Check the ingredients on your favourite products to see if they contain glycerine or not. If they do then you can try adding a little perhaps just 1/2 a teaspoon for the first attempt. If none of your favourites contain glycerine then you can just skip it all together. Thanks for watching and commenting :D

[@teeelliott4019]

Why do you use the Glycerin? Also do you ever use honey? I've started making butters for my daughter's hair.

[@Maicurls]

+TEE Elliott Thank you for watching and commenting. Glycerin is a humectant which is an ingredient that draws moisture in the air (humidity) to the area applied. It is an ingredient that one will either hate or love depending on hair preferences and the level of humidity in the air where you live. I have used honey in another mixes not this particular whipped butter mix. Honey works similar to glycerine so you could replace the glycerin with honey if you wish.

[@teeelliott4019]

Thank you. Would you ever use both?

[@Maicurls]

Welcome! There really is no need to use both. Too much humectants can give you "moisture overload" and can also make the hair frizz unnecessarily due to the hair being saturated with moisture. Crazy as it sounds, too much moisture is not necessarily a good thing.

[@TanyaScorpio]

Hello, great video. Is there a reason why you add the carries in stages? Thank you.

[@Maicurls]

Thank you! I mainly do it in stages because when the butter is put in the fridge it can become really hard so if I added all the oils in one go I wouldn't have a slightly warmer liquid (the oils which aren't in the fridge) to help soften the butter after it's taken out of the fridge. You could of course just whip the mix one and add all the oils but I like mixing a few times because it helps to lighten/fluff the cream (in my opinion).

[@TanyaScorpio]

Maicurls thanks for responding. Yes I did use your method. I've made about 3 batches so far. If you haven't check out rainforest chica she has exotic butters. I just got my shipment and will be turning my hair grease to another level.

[@Maicurls]

Tanya Muir i am glad to hear you have made the butter a few times! I actually follow her on IG. I have been pretty loyal to Sheabutter Cottage when it comes to ordering but I definitely would turn to rainforest chica as an alternative source; her butters look amazing!

[@pittskn]

How can make this a little firmer tho? I prefer a firmer hair and body butter. I don't want it whipped per say

[@Maicurls]

Kris P you can play around with the ratios. If you use more harder butter (eg cocoa) a little less of the softer ones and same amount of oils. Basically the more butter you use the harder it will be but you still want to use oils so it isn’t completely solid and easy to scoop out the container. Hope that helps

Excuse me if someone already asked, but would this be used for the Oil or Cream in the LOC method or a styler?

[@Maicurls]

Hi Nicole, Thanks for watching and commenting! I can only speak for me personally when I am remoisturizing my hair during the week I use a water/leave-in and then this towards the mid-ends of my hair because I have fine hair. If I use this during on freshly wash hair to do the LOC method it would count as the oil & cream (for me) and I would move straight onto a styling product after but again that is because I have fine hair. I know that a lot of naturals use oil then follow with a whip as the "cream" and follow up with a styling product. Since I have fine hair the whip will actually give me curl definition (no hold) so I would do water (to keep my hair damp), leave-in conditioner and then this whip followed by a gel. Hope that helps! :)

Hi Megan. I have not tried kokum butter but since it is a hard butter with a high melting point it should work. I would suggest using some kind of soft butter along with it, just in case the kokum alone is too hard. You can combine it with mango butter or perhaps also using coconut oil, just so your whip doesn't remain too firm (unless you want the whip to be firm). I would love to hear your results! :) Thanks for watching, sharing and commenting! :D

[@Maicurls]

+yoitsrami Thanks for watching and commenting. Glycerin is a humectant (moisturizing ingredient). It attracts moisture in the air (humidity) to the area where it is applied (your hair or skin). I put this as an optional ingredient because when it comes to the hair, it is an ingredient that some love while others hate. It all depends on your hair preferences and the general weather in your area. If you have the right about of humidity in the air it will help bring moisture to your hair, if you happen to live in dry climates with little humidity then the opposite can happen (the dry air will try and extract the moisture in your hair). If you have too much humidity then you might end up with some frizz because your hair because saturated with moisture, so it is a personal preference. Check your favorite hair products, if you see glycerin listed towards the very top of the ingredient list, chances are you hair probably likes a little glycerin if not then I suggest just skipping it. Hope that helps :D

[@ichik333]

I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered...does this mixture stay whipped?

[@Maicurls]

Hi ichik333. It definitely stays creamy yet does not remain like whipped cream (at least not for me). Depending on what the weather is like where you live it can become a little bit harder or softer - depends on the temperature. During summer my mix becomes a little softer (not a liquid or runny) and in our "winter", which isn't very cold by most places standards it becomes a little firmer but not rock solid. Hope that helps a little. Thank you for watching and commenting :)

[@C.C-e4n]

I can't wait to make this once I have some mango butter! One question though, why do you add the carrier oils in stages?? What difference does it make? :)

[@Maicurls]

wym bruh thank you so much for watching and commenting. I mainly added the oils in stages for you all to see how it “lightens” the butter and helps with the fluffiness (the whipping of course also does this). If you don’t add oils to the butters your butter mixture would be a much firmer in the end and will be harder to scoop out the container. When I make mine personally I don’t add in stages because I know exactly how much to add to get my perfect consistency. If you are making it for the first few times I recommend adding in stages just so you see how thick your mix is. If you add too much in one go you’ll end up with a runny oily mix...and would have to broil more butter to add to it. Just saves you product and time (at the start at least).

[@Maicurls]

I use a tiny tiny amount (no bigger than the size of my nail) on my face. But it will depend on person to person, for some it might be too much so you'll have to figure out if your face can take the oils and butters. For me it does wonders. I store mine in my cupboard. There is nothing in them that would cause mold/bacteria growth since it's just oils and butters but I also make sure that I use clean and dry fingers when I scope some out. If you want to me extra (like me) you can use a little wooden spoon/spatula (something like they use for soft ice cream in a cup) that way you know you aren't putting any contamination in the jar since there are no real chemical preservatives in this mix. You could store in your fridge if you worry about the butter melting too much but know that in the fridge it will make the mix super hard so it will be a little harder to get the butter out the container but it will melt as soon as you rub it between your palms within seconds.

[@Maicurls]

+Katie W. Thank you for watching and commenting. While there is nothing "dangerous" used in this whip, I know that infants can have really sensitive skin and if the butter is applied on her hair chances are some will of course touch her scalp, so I would suggest making separate batch for her without the use of Essential Oil (EO). You can make the EO the last step and take out some of the whipped butter in a separate container for her and then add the EO to the rest (if you plan on using any). Again EO is not "dangerous" per say but some oils are a little more potent that others & might cause her skin/scalp irritations as she is young. Also you will only need a tiny tiny bit of the butter for her hair, too much might make it and her scalp oily/greasy. I hope you and your family love the butter! :D Thanks again.

hi just stumbled upon your video so in love best iv seen so far just wanted to know what can i put in it to give it a long shelf life thanx

[@Maicurls]

Hi Avalon Lewis :) Thanks for the lovely compliment! The butters usually have about a 1 year shelf life on their own and if you are not adding in anything like water, aloe vera etc then the whip shouldn't go bad before that. Things like Vitamin E, Essential oils such as Grapefruit and Tea tree are antioxidants known to help extend shelf lives of products not necessarily "preserve" a product. There are of preservatives you can add, I honestly have never used any but if you look for natural preservatives for products online I am sure you will find a few e.g optiphen. When I use my whip I try to avoid putting wet hands in the jar or hands covered with another product. If I am working with wet hair I will (usually) use a spoon to scoop a little out and take the whip from there. So far none of my mixes have gone off before I have used it up. Also storing the whip in an airtight container will help and storing it in a cool and dark place is a good idea too. (sorry for the essay reply! lol)

[@marinabodrick9665]

Hi! How much is the shelf life? Do i need essential oil to avoid the expiration of the butters? Where i can store it? Thank you so much

[@Maicurls]

Hi. The shelf life, will depend on the individual ingredients you have but in general it is good for 6 months - 1 year. Essential oils do not "avoid the expiration" but it helps to preserve the butters and can help extend the shelf life BUT if you are dipping wet/dirty fingers in the container you can contaminate it so always use clean dry hands if you are using your fingers to scoop out some butter. I store mine in my cupboard (no direct sunlight) but you could technically also store it in the fridge but that will make the butter hard because they are oils and butters so it solidifies when cold. The cold doesn't affect the quality of the butter in face that can help extend the shelf life but again, it will make the whip hard versus a creamy/soft.

I have one spray recipe on my channel that did include leaving a teeny tiny amount of honey on the hair (it has a lot of benefits for the hair and skin) but I just prefer not having it in my own personal mixes. Honey is a natural astringent so I would think that it shouldn’t make the butter go off quicker but like I said I have never tried personally so that’s just a guess based on my understanding and what I’ve read.

[@ledwineyoyibo1598]

I made some but it was hard to spread on my body. It was a bit sticky and greasy. How can I make it more fluffy and less greasy?

[@Maicurls]

I am not sure if you followed my exact recipe or if you used different amounts of ingredients because when I make this butter (I have been making this for myself and others for years now) it has never felt sticky. You want to apply the butter on skin that is slightly damp (ever so slightly as if you lightly towel dried your skin so it isn't sopping wet but also not fully dry) so that it traps in moisture. And you literally only need the size of your nail/ finger tip dipped in it. Less is more with this. As I mentioned in my video, depending on your climate the butter can feel harder/softer because temperature plays a role on the consistency of the whipped butter. So if it feels hard, use less hard butter compared to the oil (eg less cocoa a little less shea and keep the mango). Again, for me, the butter has never felt oily but I have seen that some people say they use arrowroot powder. I can not personally attest to it since I've never had to try that but it is said to help make it a little more "cream like" in nature, again I can't say if it does or doesn't since I have never tried. I hope this helps.

Franceska Shehi First off that hair!!! Gorgeous :D You do not need to rinse it out it actually is used to help trap in moisture after you have washed your hair or added moisture in terms of a leave-in conditioner. I am not sure but looking at your profile picture you have quite loose curls so you might not need a lot of the butter since it might weigh your hair down if you use too much at a time. You could of course rinse it out using it to help soften and protect your hair before you use shampoo, it can help prevent shampoo from making your hair feel dry (shampoo can be stripping and give you that "squeaky clean" feeling). Yup, the mix can soften down if you live in warm climates (mainly in summer) so if you don't have a cool and dark spot where you can store it, then your alternative is the fridge. Since it has already melted stick the mix in the fridge for a few minutes just so the top layer has firmed up and then rewhip it and store it in your fridge. As soon as the weather in your area cools down it should remain whipped out of the fridge. You can always use more of a harder butter (Cocoa if you used that) or use a little less oils when you next remix it, play with the ratios till you find a consistency that works for your hair and weather.
