Whipped mango butter

sixelamy

Shea butter is all the rage for haircare it seems. But what about us curlies and/or wavies that can't handle the heaviness? I tried my own concoction of mango butter + some oils and it's amazing! My hair even feels "wet", but is completely dry. I guess I'm not used to holding onto moisture, being high porosity. It didn't take forever and a day to dry like I thought it would, either.

Has anybody else tried mango butter?

My recipe-

Mango butter (~5 oz)
Jojoba oil (1.5 oz)
Grapeseed oil (1 oz)
a touch of vitamin E

I wisk it all together with my hand mixer so it's nice and fluffy:toothy8:

It's a bit lighter than shea butter. Have fun with it!

Where did you order your mango and avocado butter from?

I live in germany, so its a german site, though its called, "curly chocolate" i really love it. i did make a mixture, though i did it with a wisk, and my hands got to sore before it was really light. though i still use it, i use it together with my mousse.

Curly chocolates butters are all mixed with other stuff.. I wanted to order some a time back,but gave up after reading the ingredients - it's a shame,i really love their site but their homebrand stuff doesn't tempt me at all

I just recieved my mango butter today. I whipped it up with Argan and JBCO and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. I can use it on wet hair which is almost impossible for me to do with shea butter. I smooths my frizz better than any oil or butter I've used. My hair is also extremely SOFT. This is a new HG for me!!!
