Why does the shea butter feels like wax on my hair"?

I wouldn't use it straight, but melt a little and rub into your hands and lightly run your fingers through your hair, then brush it a lot. It is very dense and needs melting first. A tiny amount only.

It's not waxy. It's like aquaphor but natural. It may feel waxy because your hair and skin are leeching the nutrients it needs from the Shea. Try adding coconut oil or a week almond oil and whip it. It will take out the waxy effect and have a more oily base that adds wonder, shine, and strength to your hair. Try adding about 3 drops of lavender as well. :)

Yes, if you follow-up with a good conditioner. I prefer putting straight shea butter in my hair.

Both are the same consistency. They remind me a lot of each other. Cocoa butter really smells like cocoa and Shea butter doesn't have much of a scent.

It feels like a conditioner, does not lather or foam. Makes hair very soft!

I read somewhere that yellow shea butter has dye in it. I prefer the ivory shea butter because it tends to be softer which is easier for making my hair sealants.

The best way to prepare it is to use a double boiler. Once Shea butter is softened, mix it with coconut oil. The ratio is 2 to 1. I use this mixture on my natural hair as well as my family. Good luck to you.

I'm not sure how you can tell. It came in a clear jar - it's unscented and is raw shea butter (thick and waxy in appearance) just as pictured. It's not pleasant smelling. I apply to hands, feet, elbows, knees and it works well. I read where you can mix it with essence oils...I haven't tried that yet.

I also have thin hair and it made my hair oily. It doesn't look or feel as thick either. Don't like the product!

It feels real but it is synthetic hair so don't have your curing irons or flat irons on too high or it will melt the hair I was reading up on it and the lowest temperature to maintain it it is 180° or lower I hope this helps you

I used this product with the Redken smoothing serum and it left my hair feeling like it had a lot of product build up. But that's my own personal experience and the reason I really don't like this product. At least not for my hair. I have thick, coarse, curly hair.

It is almost the same feeling as wax paper, without the oily feel. This is a really large roll, too. Not really sure what it is coated with. It works well, and never burns!

Not really - it has no fragrance added, but it does smell like shea butter. I never notice it on my skin.

Greetings. I did taste the shea butter. It taste pretty much like it smells. I didn't cook with it,but I did read information on this grade of shea. You can cook with it,but I don't know which foods are good to cook it with. Hope this helps. God bless.

Hi Deborah- I found that even tho it feels like it has less power than most, it dries my hair faster. Perhaps the ionization is responsible.

No, your hair will feel like silk! Tender on the scalp and the hair. You will not be disappointed

My hair is very fine too. I use literally 4 drops on my fingertips, rub my hands together to spread the oil and then lightly rub over the ends of my hair. Any more than that and it weighs my hair down. With just the few drops it leaves my hair silky and soft. Amazing oil!
