Elasta QP Mango butter haters in here!!->>

[BonBon]

Hi, I just read another thread about the worst products and Elasta QPs butter came up a lot.

I thought everyone one liked it so I stocked up on it, the only thing I have noticed is that the tub goes mouldy after a month which is pretty gross

Does any hater of this brands version prefer another hair butter thats more value for money??

Try getting all natural mango butter and other butters on ebay. I ordered some 100% natural mango butter from an ebay seller named bourgeoisbargains.

She also has a website

Moldy! Hold up...
Are you kidding???

Now you have me wantin to use it up before I find a forest growin in it... maybe this was just a botched jar? Ive had mine for about 3 weeks with no change and Ive used like half of it

 

[Golong]

I like it. I have never seen molderplexed . the jar I get is small so maybe I use it to fast. It a keeper for me.

Thanks for the link, I will check it out. Is that one as thick as the elasta one??

The thing is another user on another forum metioned that she doesnt like Elasta qp because it goes off too quick and gets mould in it. I didnt believe her and thought it was a one off till I looked in a tub I had used for all but a month the other day and there was mould growing inside

I would try an all natural butter. A lot of BSS products are full of fillers.

I only purchased it once and it left clumps in my hair. I hated the product. Only tried it because of all the raves, when I first got to the board, and it did not work out for me. I think I mentioned it in a previous thread a while back as well. Just goes to show that some products are a hit with some and can be a complete miss for others.

Yea, I only bought it because of this board and ended up HATING it.
2 years later, im still trying to finish it off... no mold though....lol

Ha thats funny, its actually the smell that I love. Its got me hypnomatized with fragrances of yougurt and tropical fruits..

I know you must feel serious coz car fresheners have the worst scent in the world

I've had 2 mango butters in my drawer for 4 years and neither mold. Just opened them up to look and they are fine.

Me no likey -

It made my hair dry

Have you used any before? This happened when I got right down to the last bit. There must be some conditions under which this happens though as I have never had a hair or skin cream that goes mouldy before, its strange.

 

[chayil0427]

The first time I used this butter I didn't like it because I was very heavy handed and it made my hair greasy.

However, the next time I used it (which was several months later...almost 8 months I'd say) I really like it because I only put in a few dime sized amounts.

Currently I use avocado butter. I like it because It has a really soft consistency and is naturally very moist. But I also use it sparingly as well. I have never tried pure mango butter, but it's on my list.

My qp mango butter didn't mold. I think that's very unusual.

[ayoung]

I didn't like it either.

But ORS Olive Oil Cream is the bomb!! (thanks Sistaslick!!) Very moisturizing.

One of them I had used and one was unused. It was actually after I saw this thread that I went and put some of the one I had used on my hair, everything was fine and the smell was still strong.

When I first purchased it, I didnt like it. Too thick and greasy. But now I dilute it with water, and for me, it works great. *You got me scared about that mold though... my head just started itchin'- lol*

Same here! I've never had a mold problem.... I wonder if those were legit products... or if something was wrong with the batch?

 

[ellebelle88]

I have a love/hate relationship with Mango Butter. Sometimes, its ok other times I'm steadily on the lookout for a better moisturizer. I think the key is not being heavy handed and to use it sparingly. I remember when I first started reading haircare boards, all I heard was moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. So I used to use handfuls at a time.

I wanna try that Keracare Moisturizer that Macherieamour uses.

I hate it also... Drys the hair out

 

[neonbright]

I don't hate it just adore it. Here is my experience with it, I bought it for the first time when I first started on the board and didn't care for it; but after sometime and reasearch I found out the jar I had was just old and who knows how long it sat on the shelf.

The first jar was pasty and thick, so after moving and going to another BSS I tried it again; all of the jars on the shelf it was creamy and light.

Mind you when I use it I use very very little on my ends and fly aways. I normally only use it when I first wash my hair when it wet to roller set or if I do blow dry (don't spank me). The only other time is after I take my hair down for the first time after sleeping on my hair wrap I may want to bump my ends and I put a little on the ends.

I have found this prouduct should sparenly, it does not see to be an everyday product to me.

"The first jar was pasty and thick, so after moving and going to another BSS I tried it again; all of the jars on the shelf it was creamy and light."

I also bought it awhile back and it was pasty and thick and after reading a thread about what the consistency is supposed to be I ordered a sample from the company itself. The company sample was light and fluffy and I only need about a dime sized amount, it works well. I rotate using this and ORS Carrot oil. LOVE them! Also, I love the smell!

...man that stuff left my hair hard, crunchy, and super dry. Yucky!!!

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

I agree with Neonbright, it doesn't seem to be a product that can be used everyday, unless your hair is kept in a bun, or braids. I personally like to use it on the ends of my braids when my hair is braided up, or I'll use it on wet hair to get a nice soft and shiney twist-out.

Good thing I've never had mine get molded on me, but I have since traded it in for Mendhi raw shea butter.


LadyZ- Great progress, I've been watching for an update in that siggy or avatar.

[lisana]

I thought it was just ok and I definitely did not like the smell. Why does EVERYTHING have to be perfumed to high heaven?! I wish there were more products without heavy perfumes.

 

[GeorginaSparks]

...man that stuff left my hair hard, crunchy, and super dry. Yucky!!!

same here and the smell just gave me a headache. ugh

 

[DaPPeR]

Oh how I hate this product. I bought solely for my ends and it left my ends super hard and dry Off to find a good moisturizer for my ends only.

 

[iCandyc]

This is a staple for me! I CANNOT, and i repeat CANNOT live w/o it. I think it depends on how ur using it though, I see many ppl are saying they use it on their ends, i've never used it this way however I use it on my edges. When I mean it can have 14 week post edges lookin like I got a fresh touch up I haven't found anything like it! Not even gel!

ETA: I have NEVER encountered mold! I've been using this since I was in college years before I found LHCF and never had a moldy jar

 

[DaPPeR]

^^^Thank you...I might have to try it on my edges when I am stretching.
