Can I use this shea butter on my hair, and how much should I take? — Cosmetic shea oil 25ml mirrolla

Yes, this shea butter is suitable as a finishing product on hair lengths and ends that look brittle, straw-like, or fluffy. Shea butter is solid in the jar, so first rub a small piece between your palms until it melts into a thin film. Then smooth your hands over the lower half of your hair, focusing on the ends.

The right amount depends on your hair length. Start with a rice-grain-sized piece for short hair and around a small pea for medium or long hair. It is easier to add more than to remove excess, because too much shea butter can leave the hair looking heavy or greasy. For very dry or frizzy ends, you can use it as the last step after a leave-in conditioner. For normal hair, it is best used only on the very ends rather than over the whole strand.

Avoid applying it to the scalp unless you know your scalp tolerates rich butters well. Concentrating it on the scalp can create a greasy film and may contribute to buildup. If you want to use it before washing, you can apply a small amount as a pre-wash treatment on the ends, but this is not necessary for normal use.
