Vegetable shea butter, which can be found in any perfumery and is super cheap, will help you have healthier, fuller, silkier hair with much more life.
Why does natural butter make hair grow?
This is because shea butter is rich in vitamin A and vitamin E, which work as antioxidants and help hair grow and become much stronger and free from split ends.
The fatty acids present in the product are also super powerful in combating frizz and excellent for deep hydration of your hair, as their components protect against the loss of moisture in the hair.
One tip is to include shea butter in your hair schedule on nutrition days and alternate with the use of coconut oil once a week, especially if you are going through a phase of constant “bad-hair-days” or She has very dry and brittle hair.

See how to use natural butter on your hair
Most likely, when you buy shea butter, it will come in a cream consistency, a bit pasty, so you will need to melt it in a bain-marie until the butter turns into a liquid.
The next step is to separate your hair into thin sections.
Take a small amount of shea butter and apply it to the strand, making a quick movement, from top to bottom, in order to heat the product in the hair.
Repeat the process on all strands.
When you’re done, tie your hair with a clip and put on a thermal cap.
Use the dryer inside the cap for a few seconds to heat the product and enhance its action.
Leave it to act for at least half an hour.
As it is a natural product, there is no problem spending hours with it on your hair if you want.
Wash your hair well with a clear shampoo to remove oil residue.
If you want the effect to be even more powerful, moisturize with your favorite mask and wait 15 minutes before rinsing again.
Repeat the process weekly and you will notice how your hair will begin to have much more strength, shine, softness and, little by little, it will begin to grow much more than usual, thanks to the power of vegetable shea butter.
