100% Raw Batana Oil for Softer, Healthier-Looking Hair

This has become one of the easiest parts of my wash-day routine. I focus it on my scalp and the driest sections of my hair, then shampoo it out. My hair feels softer afterward and I like that it's just one simple ingredient.

My curls get dry easily, especially between wash days. I use a small amount through my hair before washing and it leaves my curls feeling noticeably softer and easier to detangle. The jar lasts longer than I expected because I don't need much.

I mainly use it around my crown and scalp where I want to be more consistent with care. The buttery texture melts down quickly between my fingertips and is easy to massage in. My hair feels moisturized without needing a lot of product.

The oil is much richer than the liquid oils I was used to, so it took me a couple of uses to figure out the right amount. Once I did, it worked well as a pre-wash treatment and left my hair feeling conditioned. I would definitely recommend starting with less.

I wanted something straightforward that I could actually keep using. I warm a small amount, massage it into my scalp, and leave it on before shampooing. It fits easily into my routine and doesn't feel like another complicated step.

I use this before wash day, mainly on my scalp and through the driest parts of my hair. It makes my hair feel softer and easier to manage without needing a whole shelf of products. I also like how little I need each time.

I started focusing on my temples and hairline and stayed consistent with a small amount each wash day. Over time, the area started looking fuller to me, and I like that the routine only takes a few minutes. The texture is rich, so I warm it between my fingers first.

Getting a fresh cut always made my hairline look sharp, but the top of my hair still felt dry and uneven a few days later.

I started using My Melanin Hair Batana Oil at night, just a small amount on my fingertips, and massaged it into the top and front sections where my hair usually looked the driest. After staying with it, my curls felt softer, had a better shine, and my hair looked more cared for between barber visits. It became an easy step that made my routine feel more consistent.

Long hair looks nice when it behaves, but mine used to get frizzy so fast that I almost always ended up tying it back. The front pieces would dry out first, and my waves looked messy instead of soft. I added My Melanin Hair Batana Oil to my routine after showering, using just a small amount through the mid-lengths and ends while my hair was still a little damp. After a few weeks, my hair felt smoother, had more natural shine, and my waves looked more defined without needing a lot of styling product. I like that it makes my hair feel cared for without making it look oily or flat.

I used to think a quick trim was enough to make my hair look put together, but the dryness would still show by the next day.

Wash day used to feel like a full project because my hair would look good at first, then dry out again by the middle of the week.

I started using My Melanin Hair Batana Oil after misting my hair, then worked it through my ends and the driest sections. Over time, my hair felt easier to shape, less rough to the touch, and my twist-outs looked better because my hair did not feel as dry when I took them down.

The hair around my temples was the area I always checked first before leaving the house. If I pulled my hair back, it looked dry and fragile, so I started avoiding certain styles. I began using a small amount of My Melanin Hair Batana Oil along my hairline a few nights a week and gently massaging it in. I liked that the routine was simple enough to stick with. After staying consistent, the area looked healthier, the shorter hairs felt softer, and my hairline did not look as dry in photos.

My beard was actually the reason I gave this a try. It always looked clean after trimming, but it felt rough and dry by the end of the day. I started using whatever was left on my hands after applying My Melanin Hair Batana Oil to my hair, and I worked it lightly through my beard before bed. After a few weeks, both my hair and beard felt softer and easier to manage. I liked that I only needed a small amount, and it did not leave that greasy look I was trying to avoid.

I was nervous about putting oil on my locs because I hate anything that feels greasy or causes buildup. But my roots and the front pieces of my hair were getting dry so quickly that I needed something simple to keep them feeling softer between wash days. I started warming a tiny amount of My Melanin Hair Batana Oil in my hands and working it into my scalp and the drier parts of my locs at night. After staying consistent, my hair felt less rough, my scalp felt more comfortable, and my locs had a healthier-looking shine without feeling heavy.

Flash photos used to make the top of my hair look way worse than it looked in the mirror. My part always seemed too noticeable, and my hair felt frizzy no matter how much I tried to smooth it down.
