What I Thought: The blend of butters and oils in this mix is amazing!! It indeed was a very creamy butter and melted very easily between my hands for application. I used this product on top of the Sapote Hair Lotion for my braid-out, and it helped to give nice definition to my style along with a great natural shine. The scent is also very exotic and I receive many "oh my goodness...your hair smells so good!" comments every time I use this product in my hair. Simply love it!!
