IS SHEA BUTTER REALLY GOOD FOR YOUR BEARD?

[@damienwalker]

Just started using raw unrefined shea butter on my beard 2-3 days ago and it instantly made my beard very soft. Gonna keep using it to see if it helps with growth and volume.

[@bigp5052]

Did it work?

[@dawonrhodes4583]

I have been using raw unrefined Shea butter for the past few months. I have noticed some positive changes and benefits from using.

[@BeardedExistence]

What up fam!! Thanks for the feedback! Stay safe👊🏾

[@graciegjj]

Does it make the beard softer than refined shea butter or about the same in effects?

[@dogmosatchmo]

Your beard is upper echelon. Anything you got to say, I'm all ears. You obviously got the knowledge. Ive been doing research on commercialy available beard butters, but I'm going to have to try this method first..Stay safe out there!😎

You sir got a magnificent beard! Thanks for the great information! Greetings from Sweden!

[@BeardedExistence]

Thanks I appreciate that!!

[@BarnBrandBeards]

Great Information! No One seems to talk about the differences in Shea Butters! I'm a lover of all them, Ivory Shea,Yellow Shea, Refined Shea!

[@thepowerofthegodhand7003]

Dude thats dopest beard that I have ever seen.

[@BeardedExistence]

Nathan Harris thanks bro👊🏾

[@rolandawhite5870]

Yellow shea has additives to create the yellow color.It's generally the Borututu Roots or Red Turkey Castor oil or which is red to ahd that yellow hue. it is just as moisturizing but is not pure Shea, like the Ivory (not white) unrefined shea. Shea butter without the Borututu root added is ivory colored or off white by nature. If it is snow white, it is refined.

[@blackbeardbrigade]

Preach fam! It's that creamy shea butter vs "heat-activated' ...East Africa vs West Africa..We rock with the one from East Africa.

[@seunogunbiyi9443]

Right! Spot on ! Shea butter is really good on skin, moisturises and aids hair growth

Thank you very much i hade Shea butter for 5 years never used it till today works well makes it so soft... You was an inspiration a whole year no shave no trimming I'm do the same my genetics are not allowing me to grow but in patches so with your inspiration I'll do as you did let it do what it do...

[@BeardedExistence]

Sounds good!! Thanks for the feedback fam👊🏾

[@dollarbill125]

Learned this the hard way man. I bought some yellow shea butter some years ago and it dried the hell out of my scalp so I stopped using it until I tried it again, had a better result, and came to the conclusion not all of them are equal.

[@pattycarljackson]

I I just bought Shea butter today for my beard and I can’t wait to use it. I use bloody knuckles hand cream for my hands and a top ingredient is Shea butter and I use stuff for my face with Shea butter and it’s been one of the only things that I constantly use and actually feels good on the skin.

[@wakeupamericaandresist2413]

Great video, as a bearded man my daughter gave me some organic, raw and unrefined 👍 and I love this stuff. And as far as smell? I’m sure I smell better with Shea butter than without 👍 . Thank you sir.

[@jiinx72]

Been using unrefined Shea Mango and Coco butters. The last for making my wife's body butter. Yes there's that nutty smell but I like it, but understand fully why companies use refind Shea as it has no smell and won't work against their chosen scent especially if it's a light or fruit based one and the nutty smell of Shea just works against it. Still early doors for my home made beard butter but it's keeping my beard soft so it's doing it's job.

[@theweeklybeagle6990]

Awesome beard, great video. Thanks for the indepth look into the details. One minor note, as I have a mostly white beard I found the unrefined butter, over time, I ended up with a yellowed beard. Yeah, I could use the purple shampoo but I find it's a little harsh for my beard. The whiter shea butters work,not as well though, but they also don't discolor anything.

Bro it’s a fact I’ve using African shea butter for years it be those commercial brand that destroy your beard. Natural shea can keep your beard moisturize for like a full day or even 2 if you don’t wash it out. Fellas he’s right give it chance and check your grade make sure it the right one.

[@wesleybryant7334]

I have both refined and unrefined shea butter and was thinking about using both in a beard butter

[@chiefpriestmalakyaahlahada6748]

The yellow Shea butter has Palm oil and temeric . Always get the white ones.

Does unrefined shea butter make beard hair softer than refined shea butter? I really like shea butter it's my favorite thing to use on my coarse hair but wondering if the raw unrefined stuff would have even greater results if not I might not bother trying.

What's up on coconut oil? I heard a guy saying he doesn't deal with the Scotch Porter line because it has coconut oil and it dries his beard out. I'm thinking that's an issue for me as well and I need another product line without it.

I personally use pure coconut on mine. Ive never had any drying effect for me personally. Keep in mind my beard is very straight and no where thick as this mans beard. Im looking to try out some shea though.

How do you feel about artius man products?

[@SHAKAtheG]

Shea butter is a DHT blocker. DHT blockers are terrible for your beard IF you have a patchy beard. You have good beard genetics so you can use DHT blockers.

[@BeardedExistence]

You don’t have to worry about Shea butter slowing your beard growth. Shea butter is great for your beard. Many oils are DHT blockers as well but they are great for your beard and so is Shea butter. Applying Shea butter to your skin will not be enough to penetrate and slow your beard growth. It will actually do the opposite and promote growth because of the nutrients in Shea butter. We also have tons of DHT blockers in our diet like strawberries, watermelon, avocado, almonds, eggs, bananas, carrots, blueberries, walnuts and more. Applying Shea topically will not slow beard growth.

[@SHAKAtheG]

@@BeardedExistence I'd have to respectfully disagree. Topical application of DHT blockers have been shown to slow down hair loss on the head so why would they not effect beard growth? DHT causes head hair loss but is required for strong beard growth. Countless videos with people growing beards by topically applying minoxidil. There are studies about caffeine used topically in treating Androgenetic alopecia. Topical applications most definitely can impact DHT levels.

[@BeardedExistence]

Absolutely topical application of Products like minoxidil have been effective for some people. I wasn’t saying topical applications Of DHT blockers don’t have an effect I was saying that topically applying Shea butter and most of the carrier oils that are listed as DHT blockers isn’t going to have that same effect as those products. There is a lot of misinformation out there. The benefits that Shea butter and oils like , avocado, apricot, argali, baobab, grape seed, emu, hempseed, lavender, tea tree, rosemary, coconut and so many more that I can list are also on the DHT blocker list and as I stated you won’t get away from eating many foods with DHT blockers .
