Alternative to Elasta QP Mango Butter?

If this mango butter worked for your hair, have you found something else that works just as good too?

My hair *loves* this mango butter. Relaxed, natural - it doesn't matter. It moisturizes my hair so well.

My problem: my scalp *hates* it!
If even a tiny bit gets on my scalp, my scalp will itch like nobody's business and I'll have to wash it out. So I try not to apply it near the roots but it happens from time to time when smoothing the hair into a ponytail or something. So I'm looking for a good alternative.

Thanks!

I'm looking for an alternative too. I am using and liking the Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie. It's thicker Than The eqpmb, but very moisturizing and a little goes a long way. I'll be watching for more suggestions.

Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer. I love Elasta qp Mango Butter, but this is a good natural alternative. It is a bit pricey though.

@southerncitygirl

I agree with @Froreal3

Bee Mine Luscious is a Natural/Handmade Version of EQP Mango.

Very, very similar.

I have this butter, but I can't say that I duped it. I like komaza moku or califa butter, and Claudie's Isha creme is great too.

I was using the mango butter but im hooked on the curl enhancing smoothie now. It works better for me on wet hair too under my gel.

It's technically called a twisting butter, but it works for me - Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter

uofmpanther thanks for the tag girl!

I love love loveeeeee the Darcy's Botanicals Shea Butter Curl Moisturizing Lotion

I also love the Darcy's Botanicals Tucuma Butter Moisture Whip

If you looking for something to dupe the moisture of the QP Mango Butter exactly, nothing beats Bee Mine Luscious Balance Cream Moisturizer in my opinion. The BCM is a bit more expensive, but a little goes a long way and it works !

I mean, anything can be a replacement? I can name at least 20 hair butters to use instead of the elasta qp. I like the one by eden's bodyworks.

IMHO I loves me some MB but Bee Mine Luscious has mango butter beat in terms of moisture and smell
but i also like Darcys Tucuma Moisture butter whip
and marie Dean butters, but you must have thick hair cause her butters are Extremely thick

For some reason, I started this thread but never came back to it until today when it came up in my google search.

I have to get the Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream. If fellow qp mango butter lovers can vouch for it, then I will just have to try it. NOTHING has compared to my beloved qp mango butter thus far and a kid is SEARCHING.
