Butter or Oil?

[Black Hoya Chick]

Which do you prefer for sealing? What kind specifically? And why?

Kaythanksbye!

Coconut oil because it's light and it makes my hair feel strong.

Same here. My hair really does well with coconut oil. EVOO is another I use, but the coconut works the best!

Another coconut oil fan checking in! I love coconut oil because its so good for the hair. I use it in just about every part of my reggie. I use it daily to seal my ends, and I apply it to my scalp after shampooing. If I felt my hair needed it, I've been known to mix it in shampoos, dc's and conditioners.
Butters tend to leave a heavy coating on my hair, and can make my strands feel stringy and dry.

I use both.

Elasta QP mango butter, followed with coconut oil.

I voted for oil. I love love love castor oil for sealing my hair for my shrunken fro's. It's perfect.

But, I must say shea butter is a great butter for sealing. Mind you, I haven't tried any others. But when I did try shea it was really good.

I don't use coconut oil for "sealing" because it absorbs pretty quickly on my hair. But it's an amazing conditioner and detangler.

I like any type of oil for sealing except evoo. Evoo breaks my skin out. My favorite is coconut and grapeseed oil.

Oil depending on the season. I use more castor in the winter months and coconut during the summer months.

EVOO - for the length of my hair and ends
Castor Oil - for hairline (edges, temple, nape)

Pretty much any and all oils are in my hair care repertoire. I love the fact that you can use oils in pretty much every step of the hair regimen process.
