MBOAH Unrefined 100% Batana Oil for Hair

You warm a fingertip of the caramel butter, work it into the scalp, and the dry ends drink it up.

This is MBOAH unrefined 100 percent Batana oil in a 120 g jar. It sits as a thick, caramel coloured butter rather than a runny liquid, so you scoop a small amount, warm it between the fingers and massage it into the scalp and through the lengths. Nothing else is added: the jar holds raw, unrefined Batana oil.

The texture is dense and balm like, melting on contact with the warmth of the hands so it spreads without dripping down the neck. The amber jar twists open under a black lid and the butter keeps its rich brown tone. Offered in a single 120 g size, used as a leave in a few times a week rather than rinsed straight out.

What It Is

Batana oil is a heavy oil traditionally used in Honduras on hair and scalp, which is why it comes as a butter you massage in rather than a lotion you rinse away. Warming it in the hands thins it just enough to coat the scalp and slide down the strand, where it softens dry ends.

Rich in nutrients, Batana oil is the Honduran oil people reach for to soften dry, brittle lengths and tame frizz between washes. Worked into the scalp and hair a few times a week, it conditions deeply and, with repeated use, leaves hair looking fuller, thicker and healthier. Massage it in, leave it to absorb, and let the oil settle into your routine.

Quick Product Facts: contents: 100 percent unrefined Batana oil; brand: MBOAH; size: 120 g, 4.2 oz; texture: thick caramel butter; use: massage into scalp and lengths as a leave in; jar: amber glass with black lid.

How It Fits Your Routine

Scoop a small amount, warm it between the fingertips until it softens, then massage it into the scalp in slow circles and draw the rest down through the lengths to the ends.

Leave it in to absorb, on damp or dry hair, a few times a week. On wash days you can apply it as a pre wash treatment before shampoo, or use it sparingly on dry ends between washes to tame frizz.

A little goes a long way, so start with less than you think and keep the lid sealed so the unrefined oil holds its rich tone.
