Whipped butters are an awesome gift especially as you can use them for both hair and body. I gave one of the "Love Me" Butters to my sister-in-law and she really liked it :)
Yes, generally. One of my favourite science bloggers, SwiftCraftMonkey, suggests looking at how an oil feels on your skin and then substituting that oil with another similar feeling oil. She mostly looks at whipped butters for the body but i think that same strategy can work for hair butters too:
According to Swift:
When it comes to butters, I say:
I think it is easier to feel a butter and associate it with another one than is the case for oils, or maybe that's just me! Feel free to experiment, that's what being a mixtress is all about.

Note that the "Adore Me" whipped butter is designed to nourish your hair without weighing your strands down - if your hair is genetically thin, it will not get any thicker; if it's gotten thinner due to excessive pulling or harsh relaxers - you can recover your natural thickness if the follicles haven't been permanently damaged by massaging it into the scalp.

Absolutely, BUT...
Don't just blindly whip up a hair butter and start using it for your body too. You should investigate whether the butters, carrier oils and essential oils that you are using are the best ones for skin. Remember that hair is dead matter and skin is living so you will feel the differences in oils a lot more on your skin than you would on hair. Whenever I get a new oil I run it over my skin to see how well it absorbs, how thin or thick it is, how greasy and so on and sometimes I get surprised. For instance, I was surprised that apricot oil seems to just glide over my skin without being soaked in. And I was even more surprised at how well baobab oil was absorbed by skin - we have lots of baobab trees in Malawi (my country of origin) and when you see one of those menacing trees you would never imagine how moisturizing its oil is. My DIY Hair Recipes use the best ingredients for hair and they may not necessarily be the best for skin. They will be good for skin as butter and oils normally are but they may not be the best.
Importantly, if you make a body butter you should use essential oils to either:
I can't vouch for that as I myself have never had cellulite just a few stretch marks here and there. Below is a table that I created for you - it show how the essential oils in my hair recipes can impact the mood or body: TABLE: Essential Oil Benefits To The Body
All the essential oils in the table are great for hair - I use them in my DIY Hair Recipes a lot.
