Anuko Hair Butter is a rinse-out hair mask. Apply after shampooing through damp mid-lengths and ends, avoiding roots and scalp, then rinse thoroughly after 3 to 5 minutes. Start with a coin-size amount for fine hair or an almond-size amount for thick or coarse hair, then adjust.

The 200 ml jar and the travel sachets use the same Hair Butter routine. Travel sachets make the same rinse-out routine easier to pack or try. Each holds 10 ml; the amount you use depends on your hair.
Start with a coin-size amount for fine hair or an almond-size amount for thick or coarse hair. Work it through damp mid-lengths and ends only, then add a little more only if the ends still feel dry.
It is a wash-day treatment, so keep it to wash days. Use it after shampoo whenever your mid-lengths and ends feel dry, rough, or tangled, and follow the directions on the packaging. It is a rinse-out mask, not a daily styler.
Keep the order simple: your oil step first, then shampoo, then this rinse-out mask through damp mid-lengths and ends, then rinse. An oil step is optional, and the butter works without one.
It is a rinse-out mask. Follow the 3-to-5-minute directions, then rinse thoroughly. It is not intended as an overnight treatment or a leave-in styling butter. Leaving it on longer is not part of Anuko's recommended routine. Compare hair butter with a leave-in conditioner.
Anuko's routine is shampoo, squeeze out excess water, apply Hair Butter, then rinse after 3 to 5 minutes. The directions do not require a separate conditioner step. If you also use another conditioning product, follow that product's instructions rather than assuming every mask and conditioner uses the same order.
Apply after shampooing, once you have squeezed out excess water, so the mid-lengths and ends are damp. It is not a dry-hair finishing product. Avoid the roots and scalp, then rinse thoroughly.
A sachet holds 10 ml; it is a package size, not a dose that fits every hair length or density. Start with the same small amount you would take from the jar. Travel Hair Butter contains nine 10 ml sachets, 90 ml in total.
Start with a small amount on mid-lengths and ends and rinse thoroughly. Judge the finish after drying; if it feels too heavy, try less at the next wash. A rich texture will not suit every preference. Read the customer reviews for both positive experiences and reported drawbacks.
Apply through damp hair in sections after shampooing. Detangle gently while the treatment is on, then rinse thoroughly after 3 to 5 minutes.
After braids or twists come out, shampoo first, then focus the treatment on dry mid-lengths and ends before rinsing thoroughly.
Work a small amount through stressed mid-lengths and ends, leave for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Read our guide: Why hair feels rough after coloring. Also available in Spanish: Cabello áspero después del tinte.
Use it as a rinse-out treatment after shampooing, concentrating on rough-feeling ends and avoiding the scalp. Rinse it out before you dry or straighten; it is not a heat protectant.
