If something’s 99.9% done, it’s not finished.
Sorry about it. But there’s no such thing as partially done style or half finished maintenance. An effortless look, maybe. Definitely. However, no matter how casual you go with your coily-cute ‘do, you’re either done or you aren’t.
So as you’re putting the finishing touches on your coif, where do you turn when you want shine, moisture, AND definition? Believe it or not, back to the barnyard! There’s a reason cattle are so revered across multiple cultures, and one of those reasons? How great butter is.
From Ethiopia, to India, to the Ozarks, and back, butter has been used to soften scalps, add shine to hair, and help out with the kind of creamy hold well worth all the hours spent at the churn. But thanks to ORS Olive Oil for Naturals, our generous partners on this piece, there’s no need for the extra arm work out.
Now, I know what you’re thinking.
Cocoa, shea, mango, and other plant butters are what we style with because there’s none of that turning into sour solids that you get when you leave regular dairy products out. Well, worry not. The Olive Oil for Naturals products use ghee butter—meaning it’s been simmered down to the melting point with impurities having been skimmed from the top, and residue left on the bottom of the pan. The clarification process makes it pure buttery fat, so there’s no need to have a cow over spoilage!
If you caught Okwe’s tutorials, you already know what’s up! But for those of you that have yet to pick up the smoothness she’s putting down, I’d like to draw your attention to the Butter Creme Styling Smoothie and the Butter Glaze Gel Souffle.
The Smoothie provides a softer hold, adding a perfect touch of definition to any twistout, or perm rod set. Just a little of this goes a long way to providing the moisture of a leave-in with the hold of a styling cream.
The Gel Souffle is going to be your move for sleeking back updos—your faux-hawks, high puffs, and what have you. Not only does this Glaze contain conditioning ghee for great softness, it also adds an HD shine to any style you top off with!
Something this specialized has to involve shipping costs and an exclusive site, right? Wrong. These hydrating style products are available at your local Walgreens! Pop in, and get your curls poppin’ in no time.
And hey, if you need any other inspiration? Check out Houston, TX stylist Okwe, as she models four different looks with the products we’ve highlighted here. And if you do these ‘dos? You butter share with us.
