How would u rate this product in terms of the moisture it provides... is it oily and does weigh down relaxed hair ??? I am interested in the smell that everyone is raving about also.

 

[tekmommie]

To me it is very heavy, but it does not feel oily. I use it for my edges and when I air dry in a bun. It lays my hair down nice and yes it smells soooooo good!

Now that you mention it, my fiance took a shower the other night and slathered some on his body. I was like "Ooooh you smell soooo good and your so soft, what is it"? He said "Something that was in the bathroom that had Mango Butter moisturizer written on the jar"!!! He thought it was one of MY body butters!

I might have to look into this

Re: Elasta QP Mango Butter

The scent is pleasant. You can mix the mango butter with water or a little oil to thin the texture if it's too heavy.

The ingredients:
Purified water, squalane (olive oil derived), caprylic/capric triglyceride (coconut oil derived), peg-75 lanolin, behntrimonium methosulfate, hexadecanol, cetearyl alcohol, ceterareth-20, dimethicone, phenyl trimethicone, mangifera indica (MANGO) seed butter, theobroma cacao (COCOA) seed butter, hydrolyzed silk, serica methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, fragrance, fd&c yellow no.5 (Cl 19140).

It smells great, but doesn't work well on my hair for some reason. I still have a full jar and I think I'll give it away.

thanks everyone.... all i needed to hear was that is was heavy for me not to purchase it. My hair is light and I didnt want something to weigh it down .

 

[tekmommie]

I think it is designed to be used like a "soft" gel, if you will. It is more for hold down, I think. I really like it for that purpose.

i've started using this product on my head and also my daughter... we both love the smell of it!!! so far it's been a good product.

 

[debyjay]

I love love it, I add a drop of olive and a drop of castor oil and I use a very small amount on my ends. It Works wonders.

Britt,
It looks heavy in the jar, but trust me, it DOES NOT weigh your hair down at all. My hair is fine, and at first I didn't like this stuff, but now I use it faithfully. It's not at all oily, so if you like oils, you may want to put a little oil on your hair after using the Mango Butter. Give it a try; you just might like it!!

I used to use Vitapointe, but to my surprise, I haven't even opened the tub since I started using the Mango Butter!! I thought nothing could come between me & my Vitapointe, but now it seems so greasy to me, and it definitely weighs my hair down after using it a couple of days!!

 

[Britt]

Thanks Lindy for the review. I have heard good things about Vitapointe... hummm

this is better than Vitapo inte, maybe I will look into it.

 

[EmeraldSky]

I agree with Lindy. I didn't like this at first, but as soon as I increased the moisture in other areas like conditioners, etc. I found that the mango butter worked really well. I spread it in my hand and then run it thru my hair section by section before bed, the next morning my hair is soft and shiny.

I don't use the Mango Butter, but I saw it on sale at Walgreens this week for $4.00. Not sure if that's a good deal or not since I don't use it.

Elasta QP mango butter is the bomb for my hair. I am twisting my hair with it and it kept my hair moist and soft all week. I just co washed and re-twisted with it and I love the smell
