Batana oil, argan oil, rosemary oil, castor oil, and more — pure and blended hair oils for deep conditioning, shine, frizz control, and scalp nourishment. Apply pre-wash, post-wash, or as a daily styling oil.
Penetrating oils vs sealing oils
This is the distinction that decides whether an oil helps you. Some oils penetrate the hair shaft and reduce internal moisture loss; others coat the outside, sealing the cuticle and blocking humidity. High-linoleic oils tend to penetrate. High-oleic oils tend to coat.
For frizz you want a sealing oil. For brittleness and breakage you want a penetrating one. Many people buy the wrong category and conclude oils do not work for them.
The oils, honestly
Batana — high in oleic acid, so it coats and seals well and calms humidity-driven frizz. Adds visible shine and a little weight. Best on medium to coarse hair; fine hair often finds it heavy. Our unrefined batana oil, 118ml is the concentrated bottle; the 50ml daily scalp and hair oil is easier to dose.
Argan — the most recommended frizz oil because it is light, absorbs fast, and adds shine without heaviness. The catch is that commercial argan is frequently over-processed and diluted; look for 100% pure Moroccan origin if buying it standalone.
Castor — unusually thick thanks to ricinoleic acid, which makes it an effective sealant but too heavy alone for most people. Dilute it or keep it to the ends.
Rosemary — used mainly as a scalp treatment rather than a conditioning oil. It belongs at the roots, not the lengths.
Coconut — small molecules that genuinely penetrate and reduce protein loss, but high-porosity or bleached hair can find it drying over time. Patch test before committing.
Damp hair, mid-length to ends, right after washing — the oil helps set the cuticle as hair dries. For a deep treatment, apply to dry hair before washing. Never pile oil onto dry frizzy hair; it weighs it down unevenly and looks worse.
A sealing oil — batana or argan. They coat the cuticle and reduce how much humidity the hair absorbs. Penetrating oils like coconut help strength but do less for frizz directly.
Can I leave hair oil in overnight?
Yes, as a pre-wash treatment. Apply to dry hair, cover with a cap or old pillowcase, and wash out in the morning. Overnight oiling suits dry and coarse hair best.
Will hair oil make my hair greasy?
Only if you use too much or apply it to the roots. Start with one or two drops on fine hair and keep oil to the mid-lengths and ends.
Is batana oil the same as castor oil?
No. Batana is high in oleic acid, lighter, and used for conditioning and shine. Castor is far thicker due to ricinoleic acid and works mainly as a heavy sealant.
How often should I oil my hair?
Once or twice a week for dry or coarse hair. Fine hair may only want a drop on the ends after each wash.
