Elasta QP Olive Oil And Mango Butter Anti-Breakage Moisture Butter Shampoo for Dry, Damaged Hair 355ml/12 oz
Butter shampoos behave differently to clear ones. This one is thick, low on lather and heavy on conditioning, which is the point when hair is dry enough that a normal wash leaves it squeaking.
Olive oil and mango butter do the softening work. Dry, brittle, breakage-prone hair gets some slip back during the wash itself, so the comb-through afterwards pulls less and fewer strands snap on the way. Anything that reduces mechanical breakage at the wash-day stage helps you hold on to length, which matters if your hair has been relaxed, coloured or heat-styled and never quite recovered from it.
Expect a modest lather, which is normal for this format and not a sign you need more. Work it into the scalp with your fingertips, let the runoff carry through the lengths, and rinse properly, because a thick shampoo left sitting in dense hair will leave it heavy.
Best on 3b through 4c textures, and worth a look if you have given up on clarifying shampoos because they leave your hair feeling like straw. 355ml/12 oz.

Application tips
Wet the hair right through before any product touches it, since a butter shampoo needs water to spread.
Work a palmful into the scalp with your fingertips, then let the lather run down the lengths instead of piling the hair up and scrubbing it. Rinse until the water runs clear. A second wash is worth it if you have been using heavy oils or gel. Follow with conditioner while the hair is still wet.
Results
The lather is soft rather than squeaky, and hair does not feel stripped when you step out of the shower. Dry, brittle lengths come out cleaner but still pliable, so the comb moves through instead of catching.
Used week after week it keeps snapping down, which is what keeps length on the head. The scent is warm and clean, and it rinses away without hanging around.
