Combine the kokum, capuacu, and mango butters into a medium sized bowl, and blend until smooth. A hand mixers works really well for this. If your butters aren’t soft, you may need to create a double boiler to do so. In that case, pour hot water into a bowl, and place the bowl with the butters on top. Allow it to warm up so it becomes easier to blend.
Add in the coconut oil, as well as the avocado oil. Continue blending, and then slowly mix in the remainder of the ingredients, and melt the ingredients until liquid. Then allow the mixture to cool. Once the ingredients are cooled, begin mixing again with your blender or hand mixer. The butters should create a somewhat whipped texture, which will make it easier to spread the ingredients throughout your curls. It should take about 20 minutes. Store extra in your fridge. You can apply this throughout freshly washed curls, cover with a cap, and allow to sit with heat for deep conditioning.
You can also use this as a daily moisturizer! Before using, spritz your curls until damp and then apply throughout your strands.
