How do I apply Batana oil on wash days?

Scoop out a small amount, warm it between your hands until it melts, then massage it into your
scalp. Leave it on for twenty to thirty minutes and shampoo as usual. Using it this way twice a week
strengthens roots and supports healthy regrowth.

Should I use it on wet or dry hair?
Use it on a dry scalp before washing. For ends, apply to dry or slightly damp hair to lock in softness
and prevent breakage.

How long should I leave it on my scalp before rinsing?
Twenty to thirty minutes is perfect. The oil softens as it warms on your scalp and absorbs deeply
during that time, so longer isn’t necessary.

Can I sleep with it in overnight?
You can, especially if your hair is very dry or over-processed. Just tie your hair in silk or use a
bonnet to protect your pillow.

How often should I use it each week?
Two scalp treatments per week plus light daily use on your ends keeps most hair balanced and
hydrated.

Do I oil just my scalp, or my ends too?
Both. Your scalp needs stimulation for growth, and your ends need protection to hold that growth.

How much should I use at a time?
Start small — a pea-sized amount goes far because the oil spreads easily once melted. Add more
only if your hair fully absorbs it.

Is Batana oil safe for low-porosity hair?
Yes. Because it’s cold-pressed and lightly refined, it’s lighter than roasted or blended oils. Use
smaller amounts and apply to slightly damp hair so it seals in moisture without buildup.

What if I have mixed porosity in different areas?
Treat each zone accordingly. Use a little more oil where hair feels rough or dry, and less where it’s
smooth or slow to absorb. The same jar works for both; just adjust quantity.

Does it work on thin or fine hair without weighing it down?
Yes. Its natural clarity means no heavy residue. Start with a fingertip amount, melt it fully, and
distribute through mid-lengths only.

Can it help with curly or wavy hair (2C–4C)?
Absolutely. It restores the lipid layer that defines curl shape, reducing frizz and dryness in every curl
type.

Will it help with breakage from buns, heat, or bleaching?
Yes. It coats the strand with fatty acids that seal weak cuticles, helping prevent further breakage
while improving elasticity over time.

What should I do if my roots get oily but my ends stay dry?
Use the oil only on the ends and mid-lengths, and balance your scalp once a week with a diluted
apple-cider-vinegar rinse.

Can I use it if my scalp gets oily within two days of washing?
Yes. Focus application on dry areas and keep scalp oiling to once a week. Batana nourishes
without clogging pores when used sparingly.

Will it help with dry, flaky, or itchy scalp?
Yes. Its natural antioxidants calm irritation and restore moisture balance. Most users notice relief
after a few treatments.

What if oiling makes my scalp feel tender or sore?
That usually means you used too much or massaged too hard. Use less product and lighter
pressure — the oil doesn’t need force to absorb.

Can I use it if I have a nut allergy?
It’s derived from palm nuts, so those with severe nut allergies should patch test first or consult a
dermatologist.

How do I balance my scalp with apple-cider vinegar, and how often?
Mix one part ACV with four parts water, apply after shampooing, leave for five minutes, rinse, then
use Batana oil after your hair dries. Once weekly keeps scalp pH balanced.

Does it help with dandruff or just dryness?
Both. It calms flaking linked to dryness and supports a healthier scalp barrier when used
consistently.

Is it safe on colored or bleached hair?
Yes. It helps replace the oils stripped by coloring and keeps processed strands softer between
salon visits.

Can I use it with keratin or bonding treatments like Olaplex or K18?
Yes. It complements them by adding moisture that chemical treatments can’t replace.

Does it work for people with extensions, and where should I avoid applying it?
Apply from mid-lengths down. Avoid the bonds or tapes so they don’t loosen.

Can I use it if I’ve had a chemical straightening or perm?
Yes. It prevents brittleness and keeps treated hair flexible.

Is it okay to mix Batana oil with rosemary or peppermint oil?
Yes, but blend a few drops into a teaspoon of Batana oil — it’s the carrier that helps those oils
absorb safely.

Why is your Batana oil yellow and clear instead of dark brown?
Because it’s cold-pressed, unroasted, and only lightly refined. Roasting darkens the oil but destroys
nutrients. The golden color means every fatty acid and antioxidant is intact.

What’s the difference between cold-pressed, raw, and refined?
Cold-pressed extracts the oil without heat. Raw often means unfiltered. Refined can mean bleached
or deodorized. Ours is cold-pressed with minimal refinement to keep purity and shelf stability
balanced.

How can I tell if Batana oil is authentic or fake?
Authentic cold-pressed Batana melts easily at body temperature, stays golden-clear, and has a mild
nutty scent. If it’s green, heavily scented, or stays solid at room temperature, it’s likely blended or
old.

Does it contain fragrance, silicones, or other fillers?
No. It’s a single-ingredient oil made from the entire Batana fruit, not just the extracted fat. Using the
whole fruit preserves its natural antioxidants, carotenoids, and micronutrients that many filtered
versions lose. No fragrance, silicones, or additives are ever added — only pure, cold-pressed
Batana in its natural form.

Where is it sourced and bottled?
Sustainably harvested from American palm nuts and bottled in a GMP-certified facility for purity
testing.

Is it cruelty-free and sustainably produced?
Yes. No animal testing and responsible sourcing with full traceability.

How long before I see a difference in growth or thickness?
Most users notice smoother texture and less shedding within three to four weeks. Fuller
appearance usually follows after consistent use for two to three months.

Will it stop hair breakage or just prevent more damage?
It seals existing split ends temporarily and prevents new ones by strengthening the outer cuticle
layer.

Can it help with thinning from stress, medication, or postpartum changes?
It can’t alter hormones but it supports scalp circulation and follicle strength, helping hair recover
naturally once the underlying stress passes.

Will my hair shrink more as it gets healthier?
Yes, healthy curls contract more when hydrated. Shrinkage means elasticity is back — a good sign.

Does it make hair look greasy or heavy after styling?
Not if you use the right amount. Melt a fingertip of oil, smooth it lightly through mid-lengths, and
you’ll get shine without residue.

How long does one jar last if I use it twice a week?
Around six to eight weeks depending on hair length. It spreads easily once melted, so a little goes a
long way.
