Elasta QP - Mango Butter

[tetbelle]

I bought it now what do I do with it? It smells so good. What do you use it for? Do you use it on wet or dry hair? How often do you use it?

I apply it to my hair daily as a moisturizer.

It has so many uses..

1) I use it sometimes when my hair is wet and Im going to do protective styling
2) As a daily moisturizer
3) to lay my hair down for a pony..

Its the Best!

Personally I like it on wet hair better, you get more mile for the buck (or whatever that saying is).

If I use it on dry hair I'll end up using twice as much, but it's still great.

I use mine on dry hair. I use it on my edges to smooth my hair down and i use it on my ends. (for the last 2 weekjs or so.) I really love it. But it does take a bit.

We need a bigger jar of this stuff QP!

I love it! I use mine at night daily as my moisturizer right before I roll my hair. If I'm having a "dry" day, I also seal it with jojoba oil. I have very dry hair and this is one of the things that's has helped me. It adds a nice shine and my BF loves the yummy smell!

I use it when my hair is dry--usually to put it up in a afro puff.

I love it on wet hair. I used it when I was relaxed but still use it on my natural hair. I didn't like it on dry hair, it did nothing for my hair.

I use this on my ends as a daily moisturizer. Its great!

Thanks for all the replies. So if I use it on wet hair to slick back a bun I shouldn't need any gel right? That would be great.

Glad you made a thread 'cause I'm gonna stop at the BSS and pick up some.

I wonder how well it works on thin hair, too much or too heavy and there goes the hair. Plus my hair bairly hold a curl...

This might sound weird but, for me like some people this wasn't that great alone. However, if you use this as a 'base' for adding a bit of whichever butters and oils you have lying around ( I use coconut oil, jojoba oil, and shea butter) it's killer. But I wouldn't bother unless you have oils and butters lying around.

I agree. You need to add some other product too. It is a nice supporting moisturization but not as a main one.

QP Mango butter does do a good job replacing Gel for slicking hair back. It aslo has its down sides like Gel as well. I have reserved it for only special, I really want my hair slicked back, occasions. It does add high shine, almost like glass, but its not a moisture shine, its a weird dry shine, your hair could be shinin to high heaven and be dry as hell with that stuff. I suggest using it with an oil or with Recovery to downplay some of the downsides. It was formulated to be a heat protectant (says it on the jar) not really meant for daily use...my hair suffered with daily use, I would cry trying to get a comb through it lmao, but still put more on. I finally gave up the vicious cycle. Its best when used on wet hair (if you want to comb through it lol) mind you I used large amounts, so results for others may vary

LOL Lucia, I was just speakin on how I gave it up now too rotfl

but yeah here is the album with the 'glass slicked back look' Mango butter gives

I think I had Mango Butter in my hair (probably mixed with other stuff) in some of the bun pics too

Agreed!

I mean u can do it , but there will be downsides probably. Hell even with the oils and butters it has it downsides.....but is definitley cut some with use of them with it
