Plant-Derived Butters

Meaning

These solid, concentrated emollients, such as shea, cocoa, and mango butter, are essential in understanding the unique moisture dynamics of curls and coils. ❉ Their thoughtful integration into a hair care system provides a predictable framework for maintaining hydration, acting as a diligent sealant. For Black and mixed-race hair, the judicious application of these plant lipids represents a mindful practice of protective care, softening strands and providing a delicate shield against daily elements. ❉ This careful selection and use of natural butters support the hair’s intrinsic strength, contributing to its well-being without imposing heaviness.
