Lush Mango Hair Butter – Ethnic Hair

Lush Mango Hair Butter

Try this beautifully thick hair butter for soft, moisturised coils. Perfect for Ethnic hair.

Recipe

Heated Phase:

• 30g Mango Butter
• 35g Cocoa Butter
• 20g Olive Oil
• 15g Castor Oil

Cool Down:

• 1g Vitamin E Oil
• 1g Essential Oils (Optional Fragrance)

Method

1. Measure out your Heated Phase ingredients: Mango butter, Cocoa butter, Olive oil and Castor oil in a heat-resistant bowl.
2. Gently melt the heated phase over low heat using a double boiler or bain-marie
3. Once no solids remain, transfer to a flat surface and allow to cool slightly
4. When the mixture is cool but still completely liquid, add your Cool Down ingredients: Vitamin E oil and any essential oils and mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution. (For Whipped Hair Butter drop to point 6)
5. Pour directly into a dark-coloured or tinted glass tub-style container and leave to cool further until set
6. Whipped Hair Butter: Place mixture in the fridge until semi-set; this can take approximately 30 minutes or so before it achieves a thick yet still viscous “trace” consistency
7. To create a whipped texture, use an electric whisk to incorporate air into your hair butter. Place in the fridge for 5-10 minutes between whisking to allow the hair butter to firm slightly between whisking
8. As the mixture sets and more air is incorporated, it will start to become lighter, changing to a pale cream colour
9. Alternate between cooling and whisking until you reach your desired consistency
10. Then store your Mango Hair Butter in a dark-coloured or tinted glass container and leave to set for 24 hours before use
