An Expert-approved Guide To Using Shea Butter For Healthy Hair by osademeoyahoo(m): 11:20am On Feb 08, 2022 |
There is no end to the list of haircare ingredients that promote healthy hair. One we’ve been seeing lauded more often is shea butter. It seems to be the talk of the town if you’re looking for an extra dose of moisture. We wanted to learn more about this butter, especially when it comes to how beneficial it actually is for your strands. So, we reached out to Bay Area dermatologist Dr. Kaveri Karhade for the skinny on this haircare ingredient. Learn everything you need to know below! What Is Shea Butter? We wanted to know a little bit more about this butter and where it comes from before diving into its benefits. Dr. Karhade shares that “shea butter is an extract from shea trees, which are native to West Africa.” She then explains that the ingredient is most commonly “used as a moisturizer and in cosmetics due to its emollient properties.” Shea Butter Hair Benefits It has anti-inflammatory properties. One major benefit of shea butter for both the hair and skin lies in its anti-inflammatory properties. In an article from Healthline, they point out that a study done on the topical and dietary effects of shea butter highlights how it prevents your skin from reacting to irritants. “Researchers believe this is because shea butter contains the chemical compound amyrin, which has well-documented anti-inflammatory properties,” the article states. It contains antioxidant properties. Along with the anti-inflammatory properties, Dr. Karhade notes the butter has antioxidant properties as well. This is due to high levels of vitamins A and E, which act as anti-aging ingredients. Both your hair and skin will appear brighter and more youthful because of it. It’s moisturizing. Dr. Karhade shares that shea butter doesn’t just add moisture, it also helps your hair and skin retain it. The butter contains a high volume of fatty acids, which gives your strands the moisture it craves. So if you struggle with dryness, it may be the ingredient your locks are missing. It can help soothe dry scalps. If you struggle with a dry scalp or dandruff, listen up. Dr. Karhade notes that the butter’s “potential antifungal activity may be helpful for those who suffer from dry, itchy scalps, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis.” How to Use Shea Butter on Your Hair The best part about shea butter is that virtually every hair type can benefit from using it. “Despite being from a tree nut, it’s not likely for it to trigger allergies,” ensures Dr. Karhade. She does note that it may be the most beneficial for those with dry hair, “especially curly-haired individuals and/or those with damage due to processing,” due to its moisturizing properties. However, any hair type can find a way to work this ingredient into their routine. Dr. Karhade recommends you use it as “a conditioner, a styling product, or a mask.” Those with “dry scalps can leave it on overnight and wash it off in the morning,” she shares. Another suggestion she has is using it as a mask once a week. “I’m excited by the idea of using shea butter once weekly as a mask for the scalp for those using hair growth topicals that frequently cause irritation, inflammation, and itchiness of the scalp.” Emily Millionaire Original Hair Fertilizer Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Soya Beans Oil, Vegetable Fat, Natural Vitamin E, Amino Acid, Panthan Oil, Placenta, Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Banana Jam,Imidazolidinly, (Based Fertilizer) Sun Flower Oil, Lanolin Oil, Brgamon Aloe Vera Oil, Avocado Peer Oil and Almon Oil, Hair Fertilizer with 100% Natural Herbs (with ALOE VERA) and hair growing mineral and oils to enhance hair growth for the all hair types. . * Anti Dandruff Super Hair Conditioning Cream.
