Hair butters provide some of the easiest ways to add moisture to your hair. They are very rich and because they are heavier than oils, those with the curliest textures can benefit greatly. I first discovered The Mane Choice products around last year, with some reviews swirling around YouTube and inevitably disappearing from the shelves at my local Walgreens.
I purchased The Mane Choice Doesn't Get Much "BUTTER" Than This Daily Hair Dressing because I craved a moisture-rich product other than a leave-in conditioner. My hair tends to dry out quickly and I believed that I'd found my solution.
So, What's The Hype About?
This product promises to nourish, soften and add shine to your hair. It's full of the good stuff like shea butter, coconut oil, and castor seed oil. However, there are plenty of other lesser-known butters and oils that are equally, if not better for your hair. The butters include Carrot, Broccoli, Mango Seed, and Avocado. Oils include Sunflower Seed oil and Orange Seed oil.
If you prefer a more natural hair butter without having to buy individual butters to mix together, this one is perfect. This particular product also has Vitamin D, A, and E.
The Butters: What Are Their Benefits?
Carrot Butter:
- Contains beta-carotene (which our bodies convert into Retinol aka Vitamin A)
- Regenerates skin
- Balances Moisture
Brocolli Butter
- Strengthens hair at the roots
- Contains Erucic acid, which helps with luster and shine
- Prevents hair loss
- Promotes hair growth
Mango Seed Butter
- Very moisturizing
- Has high levels of saturated and monosaturated fatty acids
- Regenerates the scalp and skin
- Provides the necessary environment for hair growth
- Protects against UV rays
Avocado Butter
- Seals and retains moisture
- Packed with vitamins and minerals that provide nourishment
- Effectively penetrates the hair cuticle better than oils because of its large amounts of saturated and monosaturated fats
The Oils
Sunflower Seed Oil
- Eliminates frizz
- Is an emollient, which helps to lock in and retain moisture
- Very lightweight, and easily penetrates the hair
- High in oleic acids that prevent hair from becoming brittle
Orange Seed Oil
- Enhances blood circulation
- Rich in Vitamin C
- Conditions the hair and skin
- Blends well with other oils
Before you run to the nearest drugstore to buy this product, consider that even if you shared the same texture and curl pattern with me, our hair is not the same. What may work perfectly for one person's hair type can work differently, for better or for worse, with another person's hair type.
After using this product for quite some time, here is a summary of the pros and cons of what this product did for my particular texture.
👍 It's very smooth and rich. Helps seal in and retain moisture for at least a week after first application. The texture is soft and quickly melts into the hands. It smells like citrus and makes your hair smell fresh, which most definitely comes from the Orange Seed oil. It can be added to enhance a deep conditioning treatment. Pretty much all of the ingredients are natural and this product is not tested on animals.
👎 It doesn't have much slip (for my hair at least) and doesn't define my curls as well as other moisturizing products I own. It's a bit on the pricey side. It retails for around $15.oo and cost me $18.00 at my local Walgreens.
No product is absolutely perfect but if I had to rate this one, I would give The Mane Choice Doesn't Get Much "BUTTER" Than This Daily Hair Dressing...
If you already own this product, let me know how it works for you. Thanks for reading and have an awesome Tuesday!
