100% Natural Unrefined Batana Hair Oil for Growth, Repair & Strength | 8 oz Nourishing Moisturizer for Damaged Hair from Honduras

The benefits of this oil far outweigh the "smell" people keep complaining about. I personally love the scent of NATURAL products from the Earth's bounty. It's a gift that we need to stop being so ungrateful for. This stuff works wonders and it gives my scalp a refreshing feeling, almost like a peppermint oil tingle but not. The scent is dominant but it fades to end up smelling more like a potent Jamaican Black Castor Oil with dark roasted coffee beans and a touch of tahini (sesame seed paste used to make hummus). This 16 ounce size is the best value for the money that I have found on Amazon, but since this ships from where I live I'm going to go find the shop and buy more to do my DIY's with. I'm in love with this oil and abandoned my chebe grease rotuine on my last wash day. This oil gives hair a silky texture that i simply can't describe. For me, my scalp and hair strands soak it right up overnight and there's just a slight oily feel in the morning when i remove my silk scarf. I use this like a hair grease and as a sealant after I shampoo and do my henna mask treatment. I DO NOT WASH THIS OUT! I don't know WHO those directions are for, but you don't need to wash this out. If you have straight, non kinky hair I can understand using it as a treatment then shampooing it out. But not for kinky hair unless you are deliberately using it as a pre-poo. But after you do that, still add it back to your scalp and hair and leave it in. I'm a BW with type 4 hair, high porosity and I'm anemic. I was already using natural things to help with hair fall and shedding, like fenugreek and rosemary water but this oil sealed the deal and I'm losing next to no hair now other than normal shedding. Concentrate this oil on your ends too, twist your hair and pin away your ends and just watch it flourish! Makes wash day a pleasure because it keeps tangles at bay too and when water hits your hair it feels so smooth and soft. It is really annoying to see so many people complain about the smell when you can very easily just melt it down and add an essential oil like lavender. But don't bash a beautiful product with such a rich history just because you're inexperienced with things that are from nature instead of manufactured with tons of artificial fragrances. This is NOT L'Oreal people! It's better! If yours came melted, just put it in the fridge it'll solidify again. Remember, it's been on a truck all day on it's way to you, you might melt in that kinda heat too! It's like coconut oil, solid when cool but liquid when warm. Complaining about that is just weird. Reading the reviews was a bit frustrating because people seem to want everything to smell like their chemically derived lotions and potions and perfumes. Well, this ain't for you then! Buy a different oil if you're can't respect the properties this one has. I love to touch my twists throughout the day and then sniff my hands to take in the aroma of the batana oil. Again, think dark roasted coffee, JBCO, tahini... That's what it smells like take it or leave it. But if you leave it, you'll never know what you're missing! Bought a second 16 ounce jar last night because it's on sale for Prime Day. Whole family will be using it on hair and body and i will be retwisting my son's locs with this and rosemary water. Will post more pictures in 6 months as I've only used this for 2 weeks but can already tell a difference in hair density.

The butter is not oily or greasy, I use it on my body and my skin feels smooth. I would say it’s a good sealant for my strands but I need to try this product out for 6 months before I give a review concerning my scalp since I suffer with hair loss. The smell is a mixture of coffee and smoke and it doesn’t linger. Get a good amount of product for the cost and this should last me more than 6 months trial. I had to update the star ratings, I love the smell, burnt coffee caramel scent. I love the effects on the hair and body and my mom seeing results on her scalp, and I use it on my son's body. I use another genuine product but it's just 4 oz for almost the same price but if I am going to use it on my family I need a bigger container. This product to me seems genuine, it has the consistency color and natural earthy smell and its more affordable for 16oz. Avoid the Chinese brand and get yourself this.

Get this one. It's the best choice of batana oil at a great price. This is a top quality, pure batana oil from Honduras. Other brands may have an equally good product, but it will most likely be much more expensive for essentially the exact same product. Shopping for batana oil online can be confusing, but trust me, this is the one. This is what you want if you're looking for batana oil. This is the best batana oil that I've used. Others have been equal, but none better. It's real, raw, unrefined batana oil from Honduras with nothing else added. I have used batana oil since the early 2000's and I feel familiar with what it looks like, smells like and feels like. This is it, the real thing. I've purchased batana oil from other companies and none has been more superior than this one sold by RA Cosmetics. Some were darker in color, but that doesn't indicate a better quality product. I've purchased batana oil from RA Cosmetics several times over the past few years, and it's now the only brand I will use. The 16 ounce jar lasts me a long, long time, so it's been well over a year since my last purchase. During those seventeen months, what in the world has happened? Other brands have had their price doubled and so many of the choices of batana online are obviously, almost comically, not the real deal. You want pure, raw, unrefined batana that has a strong aroma, without anything else added to it. RA Cosmetics has remained about the same in price while offering the identical, top notch quality product that they have sold for years. I suppose that between recently imposed tariffs in the US and a new batana trend on social media, other vendors have had to raise prices dramatically. I am impressed and thankful that RA Cosmetics has only increased their price by a couple of dollars in a year's time. Anyway, this is the one to get. It's the right color, it smells strongly like chocolatey coffee (I love the smell) and the texture is correct, melting on contact with skin. My 2b low porosity, dry hair loves this stuff and drinks it up. I use it, sparingly, as a leave-in and it makes my hair full, hydrated, frizz free, shiny and gorgeous. So, yes, just get it! It's real and really good.

I’ve been using this hair/scalp mask for a couple of months now and I really like it. It makes my hair feel much more smooth and moist and healthier after using! The only reason I didn’t give 5 starts is because of the smell…it doesn’t smell the best but the smell goes away after washing it once!

This stuff is amazing mixed with some Jcbo and emu oil (the good kind) the smell is something different but I feel like it does help with scalp health. I used the combo for my son who has alopecia areata and it helped his hair come back in

Formula has changed. I bought this over a year ago and loved it, it was light in color, thick and had a great smell to it. Just recently got a new order and it is different. It's darker, the texture is creamier and it does not smell good at all.

I love this oil., not so much the smell, but you get used to it over time. This will be my second purchase. I used to use coconut oil, but don't have the time to make it. This oil makes my hair even softer than the coconut oil as this absorbs into the hair shaft. I have very fine thining Indian hair and I leave it in my hair. It doesn't really build up as it basically absorbs into the hair. So I have to apply daily if I want to keep it slick. If not then it gives a nice vibrant look to the hair. I definitely have less shedding and I do believe I see new hair growth to the sides that were thinning. Overall my hair does feel thicker. I don't know if it's mind over matter, but I will continue to use it for the way it makes my hair feel.

Smell like coffee beans but makes hair soft
