Shea butter plays a double role for the hair. It allows a basic treatment for dry and dull hair and acts as a protective treatment against the many attacks to which it is subject. For a basic treatment, the ideal is to use it as a mask, in pre-shampoo. To do this, the evening before your shampoo, spread the shea butter from root to tip. However, if you have a tendency to oily roots, focus only on the ends in order to avoid split ends. To apply it easily, you can melt the necessary quantity in a bain-marie. Once the shea butter has been applied, wrap your head in a towel for 15 minutes to two hours. You can of course remove the towel for the night. The next morning, rinse the shea butter properly with one or two shampoos. In protective care, you can finally apply it like a serum before using the hair dryer or exposure to the sun.
