Why Does Shea butter makes my natural hair hard

 


Shea butter is a natural ingredient that can have varying effects on hair depending on how it's used and the specific needs of your hair. In some cases, Shea butter might make natural hair feel hard or stiff due to a few reasons:

Watch this



1. Over-application: Using too much Shea butter can lead to a heavy buildup on the hair, causing it to feel stiff and weighed down.


2. Inadequate moisture: Shea butter is a heavy and dense butter, so if it's not properly balanced with moisture, it can leave your hair feeling dry and stiff.


3. Wrong type of Shea butter: Not all Shea butter products are created equal. Some may contain additives or be processed in a way that affects their impact on your hair. Opt for high-quality, unrefined Shea butter.


4. Incompatibility with your hair type: Everyone's hair is different. Some people's hair may not respond well to Shea butter, and it may make it feel hard or greasy.


To avoid Shea butter making your hair feel hard, try the following:


- Use Shea butter sparingly, focusing on the ends of your hair.

- Mix Shea butter with other hair-friendly oils or products to create a more balanced hair treatment.

- Ensure your hair is adequately moisturized before applying Shea butter.

- Use high-quality, unrefined Shea butter products.

- Consider other hair products that might better suit your hair type if Shea butter doesn't work well for you.


Experimenting with different products and techniques will help you find the best solution for your natural hair.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
