Anybody ever try coconut butter? I will be purchasing this tomorrow

I saw this today at whole foods, said it had coconut flesh in it. I think it might just be finely ground coconut with oil added, like peanut butter. I opted for the oil only, because I don't want to have to fish finely ground coconut outta my hair....

Hi everyone! I ditched my non natural conditioner (silicon free) for cowashing for the second time. They all work for 1 month and then my hair gets drier and drier. IT looks fine but it doesn't feel luscious and strong.

Back to my Giovanni 50:50 and I'm loving grapeseed oil for sealing in between washes, I also find that this oil works well on my roots before detangling (matted hair).

I have been loving deep conditioning with coconut milk and oils.
