- Olive oil can be substituted for any carrier oil. Other great carrier oil options include grape-seed oil, sweet almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, avocado oil, or rosehip oils.
- Mango butter can be substituted for equal amounts of shea butter or cocoa butter. All 3 kinds of butter have amazing benefits for the hair and can help to add moisture.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can make your own by placing a glass bowl over a pot of water, then bringing it to a boil.
