Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I was surprised at the texture of PBN Cupuacu Hair Butter. I thought it would be a solid balm. It's a foam; like whipped cream in a spray can.

Bibliophile that's interesting, the two PBN Cupcuacu Butter jars I got last year (in the middle of my second one now) are solid balm texture that melt upon contact. I'll be interested in seeing if the jar I ordered from this BF is this new texture you describe. Love that stuff.

I've never ordered the butter before. I thought it would have the dense texture of Oyin Handmade's pomades, Darcy Botanicals butters or Shea Moisture's infused butters.

PBN's butter is very light. You can see the air bubbles in it. The jar is so light I thought it was empty. I'll take comparison pictures when I get home.

That's definitely not how my PBN butter is. Mine is like Mische described
 
Saw these at our local Indian mart. There are several formulas:

I was thinking the exact same thing when I opened mines yesterday. This is a first time purchase for me as well. I really thought it would be more solid.

I'm very new to butters and pomades. Is anyone able to recommend one to me that has a texture similar to grease/Vaseline?

Mische oneastrocurlie and anyone else that uses PBN's butter:

Here are the comparison pictures.

Column 1 shows PBN Cupuacu Hair Butter & OH Whipped Shea Butter. Column 2 shows SM Frankincense/Myrrh infused Shea Butter & OH Sugar Berries.

Note the consistency of each product. The PBN butter is airy.

OH's Whipped Shea on the right is denser than PBN's butter.

Is this the typical appearance of the Cupuacu Hair Butter?

Haven't washed my hair but I will tonight or tomorrow, I really need to get on it. Definitely using my steamer, I need intense moisture. UGH, if only I could find a DEEPLY moisturizing DC that moisturizes both my NG and relaxed hair that I could use under the steamer for 2x the moisture.
 
I wanna flat twist my whole head but I know it will take me hours lol. Moisturizing and sealing daily. Hair is smooth and soft and barely shedding
 
For the old....old heads in here. I cracked open a fresh bottle of DDTA tonite for a quick condition after steaming.

I'm such a non PJ these days, I'm finally getting to use the stuff I bought years ago! :lol: :look: :ohwell:

Bibliophile that is not how my PBN Cupuacu was. Mine was dense and solid, not whipped and fluffy. :nono:

Okay, now I'm peeved. I ordered three of these butters expecting a balm texture. I've only received one.
Whipped product = less product.
I wish sellers would update their product descriptions when they change formulas.

I just sent them an email asking if they changed their formula because what I received is NOT like ones that others have experienced.
 
I wish I could detangle my hair with a brush or comb, it would be so much faster. My strands are really fine though so it breaks really easily. Counterproductive when you're trying to retain
 
I think when I do my touch-up, I'm going to get it a bit more straighter. I'm still getting a lot of ssks. I really like prettywitty77's hair. I just need to get my hair straight enough to finger-comb and use less heat. I figure I can retain more length since I won't have to detangle so much to stretch my hair if that makes sense.
