Cocoa Butter (100%) smells so good. It is edible! Yummy! Such a lovely, lovely smell!
Warning!!!
Cocoa butter solidifies at room temperature. If you use it as a hot oil treatment, DO NOT leave on for more than 20 minutes, as it will solidify and you will have a horrible time trying to get it off your hair. So be smart, only leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes to save yourself the trouble.
Benefits
- Moisturizes your hair
The moisturizing abilities of cocoa butter are frequently recommended for prevention of stretch marks in pregnant women, treatment of chapped or burned skin and lips, and as a daily moisturizer to prevent dry, itchy skin. Cocoa butter's moisturizing properties are also said to be effective for treating mouth sores. So, why not use it for hair?
- Makes it more manageable
- Prevents hair loss due to breakage
- Strengthens hair shaft
- Adds volume and strength to fine hair
- Can prevent further damage to hair
Cocoa butter solidifies at room temperature. When solid, it becomes a lot harder than coconut oil, so you might need to melt it before applying it to your hair. You can use your fingertips to rub it and let friction melt it. However, it takes longer to melt in this manner than coconut oil.
