Make my hair shiny and smooth.

I've never used batana oil before so this was a first-time experience. I have also only used it once so I will have to come back an update this review for its claims of supporting hair growth. For now, I will just review the application process and my first impressions.The oil is brown and ironically smells like chocolate. That could just be me but I swear that's what it smells like (for all I know, it's supposed to - remember, first-time user here) which is fine by me. I enjoyed the smell and the texture was thick enough to feel like it was going to do something but not so think I couldn't work with it. I followed the directions (which were honestly a bit small to read, but managed alright) which said to warm the product between your hands and then apply from root to end. I split my hair into three sections (top, middle, underneath) and applied from the underside first making my way up.My hair was dry and is very curly (3c I think) and past my shoulders in length (not sure exactly how far it lands after that) and sucked this stuff up like it was craving it. I used several "handfuls" of this stuff to apply to my roots down to the ends on each section, just enough to feel like I had applied enough and I still have plenty of the product left over. I was honestly worried about that after it sucked it up the first time but it seemed to stretch better than I thought. I coated every strand (as far as I could ascertain) and put my hair up in a clip and proceeded about my business doing things around the house.I probably had the product on my hair more than an hour (even though the instructions said "up to an hour" but I got busy doing a project and lost track of time. It wasn't much past the hour though. I hopped in the shower and proceeded to rinse and then wash out and condition my hair afterwards. I could tell a difference before I left the shower that my hair felt softer and more moisturized than it has in a while. I towel-dried my hair and braided it damp. The end of my ponytail usually feels pretty coarse and dry but right now it feels really soft - and I'm very impressed by that! My hair has been difficult to treat in my older years and finding a product it likes that works this well is like finding a diamond in the rough - a near impossible feat.My less than favorite aspect of any product like this is having to apply it on my hair because my dry, curly strands are a nightmare to detangle and get ready for an application like this and the time commitment to wait for the product to do its thing - I don't have much of a life, but I don't like waiting around for something to do its thing. However, I'm so impressed by this product, I think I'll keep using it just because I like how my hair feels after just one use. I am curious, as well, if the hair growth claims are true, but really I just like how much better my hair feels. I don't think there was a recommended use frequency but once a week is the best I can do so we will see if that is good enough to see full results.I will try to update this review after some time using the product longer, but for now, I'm impressed and would recommend this if you are dealing with dry hair that needs a little something extra.

Using this took some getting used to. It's an interesting texture and takes a bit to feel like it's absorbing on my hair. The smell is okay and that's normally the most important thing to me (can't stand bad smelling products). A little seems to go a long way so I'm set for a bit.

This Batana oil smells absolutely amazing and works well also. However from other reviews I’ve read from other products, based on texture, I don’t believe this is pure batana oil.Yes it made my hair feel super soft without weighing it down and it was very easy to use which makes it worth the price but I’d rather have pure oil versus a mixture.

I like the creaminess of the Oroporo batana oil. Its aroma is similar to a sweet coffee. It has a nice creamy texture, that makes it easier to apply to my head, mainly massaging it in the roots and then bringing it out to the tips of my hair. I usually leave it on for about 60 minutes, with something covering it, since I am not that crazy about the smell. I then rinse it out in warm water, followed by shampooing and conditioning my hair. It leaves no greasy residue, and I feel like my hair has been softer (and not frizzy) since I started to use the batana oil. Whether it helps with regrowth of thinning hair, it’s not something I have noticed after using it for weeks.

It came in a nice box and I like the container it's in. It's easy to swipe some product out.I thought this would smell weird or something, but it doesn't. It almost smells like an ingredient for baking, just add brown sugar and vanilla and you're on your way to .... something. But no, don't eat this! lol. :)I like the smell, and it feels nice on the scalp, the texture is goopy at first but when its warm, it's more like regular conditioner, It rinses off easily and makes my hair feel nicely conditioned. I haven't noticed extra hair growth yet, but I will update my review if/when I do.

I tested this Batana oil against another Batana oil. This Batana oil was 100% and had a super creamy nut butter texture and rich color. The other had a lighter color, whipped pudding texture, and an aloe Vera scent in it. I washed my hair before applying the Batana oils because I needed to start on clean hair and my hair really needed to be washed. As you can see, the section of hair I used this Batana oil on was very stringy and limp in the before pic. Directions say to leave this on for a few minutes and shampoo out. I left mine on for 5 hours because I had a lot to do that day but I did cover it with a plastic cap and scarf. I cowashed (washed with conditioner only, not shampoo) the Batana oils out of both sides of my hair, and this brand without the scents in it actually brought back some curls to the back/side of my head! I flat ironed that part of my hair a lot because I wanted to heat train it, so the fact that this Batana oil infused enough nutrients into my hair to bring some type of curl back is AMAZING. The other side with the other brand of batana oil was okay, but not like this side!! I plan to use it again this weekend and maybe once a week every week to see if I get more positive results! Stay tuned!
