Nourishing oils, masks, and scalp care — batana oil, botanical blends, and conditioning formulas. Curated by Canvia for softer strands, nourished roots, and healthy-looking hair from wash to wash.
Start with the actual problem, not the product
Hair complaints usually come down to one of three things: dryness, frizz, or thinning-looking hair at the scalp. They need different products, and using the wrong one is why most routines stall.
Dryness is a moisture and lipid problem — the answer is a penetrating oil or a deep mask. Frizz is a cuticle problem, where humidity enters the shaft unevenly; you need something that coats and seals. Thinning-looking hair is a scalp issue, and no length treatment will touch it — that work happens at the root.
Which oil for which hair
Batana is high in oleic acid, which makes it excellent at coating the cuticle and calming frizz while adding weight and shine. It suits medium to coarse hair; fine hair often finds it heavy. Our unrefined batana oil in 118ml is the concentrated option, while the 50ml scalp and hair oil is easier to control for daily use.
Rosemary and caffeine formulas work at the scalp rather than the strand. Our biotin, rosemary and caffeine scalp serum is applied to the roots, not the lengths — applying scalp products to your ends wastes them entirely.
Castor is unusually thick and seals well, but is too heavy to use undiluted for most people. Mix it with something lighter or use it only on the ends.
The most common mistake is putting oil on dry, already-frizzy hair, where it simply weighs things down unevenly. Apply to damp hair after washing, working from mid-length to ends, and let it set the cuticle as hair dries. For a deep treatment, apply to dry hair before washing — oil penetrates better when the shaft is not already swollen with water.
Amount matters more than product. A drop or two on fine hair; roughly a hazelnut on thick or long hair. Start with less than you think. Our batana application guide covers the detail, and best oils for frizzy hair explains which seal best.
Browse hair oils for pure and blended options, or hair masks for weekly deep conditioning.
Frequently asked questions
Should I apply hair oil to wet or dry hair?
Damp hair for everyday conditioning and frizz control — the oil helps set the cuticle as hair dries. Dry hair for a pre-wash deep treatment, because oil penetrates better before the shaft swells with water.
How much hair oil should I use?
Far less than most people do. One or two drops on fine hair, about a hazelnut-sized amount on thick or long hair. Applying oil on top of already-dry frizzy hair usually makes it look worse.
Does batana oil regrow hair?
No. Batana conditions, adds shine and reduces breakage, which helps hair look thicker and healthier over time. It is a cosmetic conditioning oil, not a hair-loss treatment. Persistent hair loss is worth discussing with a doctor.
Where do I apply scalp serum?
On the scalp itself, parting the hair in sections so the product reaches the skin. Applying scalp treatments to the lengths does nothing except use up product.
How often should I use a hair mask?
Once a week for most hair; twice for very dry, coarse, or colour-treated hair. More often than that can leave hair feeling limp rather than nourished.
