Can I use Botanika shea butter oil on my hair, and if so, how?

Take a very small amount—about the size of a grain of rice—of the shea butter oil and warm it between your fingertips until it becomes pliable. Smooth the melted butter over the ends of clean, towel‑dry hair, focusing on the sections that feel brittle or look frayed; avoid rubbing it into the scalp unless you have first done a patch test, as the rich texture can feel heavy on the roots. Use the product sparingly, as excess can weigh hair down and make it appear limp; a light coating is enough to add softness and reduce the visual impression of dryness. Apply after washing, when the hair is still slightly damp, to help the butter spread evenly and seal in surface moisture without creating a heavy buildup. If you plan to use it regularly, start with two‑to‑three times per week and monitor how your hair feels; you can adjust frequency based on texture and styling needs. Keep the container tightly closed and store it in a cool, dark place to maintain its consistency and prevent oxidation. Should you experience any scalp irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist or trichologist before trying again.
