I know certain oils penetrate hair but what about butters?

Hi,

I am aware that Avocado, Olive, and Coconut Oil can penetrate the hair shaft but what about butters like mango butter, avocado butter, cocoa butter, etc?

Thanks.

Hmm. I'm unsure of the ones you posted, but I believe shea butter doesn't penetrate...

Thanks. I have heard that as well.

I don't think any of the butters penetrate, not that I am 100% sure. But their molecules, too large methinks. Good sealant though, I love Mango seed butter.

I have heard that cupuacu butter can penetrate the hair.
