I was given this as a sample gift and straight away i bought the large size . Now i like this oil it makes my hair soft it works well with other products i use in my hair , but found it not so good on my scalp though ? it made it flaky after a day or two ? something in it made my scalp dry in patches they say it is meant to regulate sebum , my scalp is already naturally dry so i just use this mixed in my DC and to seal after washing
and when needed during the week to seal my ends when i braid out.

Used this last night as a sealant and my hair feels really nice this morning. Its soft, fluffy and moisturised. Want to try it as a hot oil treatment. Would probably buy again as the price is good for a 9oz bottle.

I was looking for a product to seal my hair but also to oil my dry scalp. After reading reviews on products i decided to buy this one and am very happy with the results! So many uses- I use it to seal each time I wet my hair for styling, especially good on my ends; to oil my scalp ( I have transferred some to an applicator bottle and find this make it very quick and easy!) and also to when applied overnight it sets any plaits or twists for a clean finish on plait-out/twist-out.
I have now been using it daily, I only have to use a little on parted sections as the consistency can be quite heavy, but saying that, it has lasted a long time!
I have not given the full 5 stars, as I find that my new growth is not as soft as I think it could be, though my scalp is not dry, I still feel the need to use a Darcy Botanicals Coconut Lemongrass creme of soften up my roots.
Will definitely be buying another bottle of this oil though!

Very thick and rich oil, with an amazing smell.
Besides the substance, i'm in love with the effect it has on my hair.
My hair feels incredibly soft, after using it as a hot oil treatment, but also after using it 2 to 3 days after my washing regime.
When applied I do not even necessarily need another product to make my curls look amazing.

I usually do not use any oil on my 4a/4b hair but received this as a sample with my order of Mixed Chicks and Kinky Kurly products.
I decided to use it with my conditioner and was amazed by the results. The texture of the oil is very rich and after rinsing my hair, all the goodness of this oil made it really moisturised, softer and lustrous but not oily at all.
Will definitely buy the bottle!

I received this as a samply with some Bee Mine products I bought. Initially I kind of left it to the side wondering what strange oil had been thrown in as my hair hadn't been responding well to anything new. My scalp broke out really bad and I realised that coconut oil, as good as it might be for me internally was not good anywhere near my scalp, so I tried this oil as I had nothing else. I used some bendy rollers and then oiled my scalp sparingly with this oil. The next morning my scalp looked normal. It looked healthy and relaxed and not as irritated and red as the night before. I thought it was a fluke. The next day after I washed my hair, I used it again. Next morning, my scalp looks gorgeous. I literally haven't seen it this good in MONTHS. I had the worst reaction to a shampoo about five months ago and have been desperately trying to recover from it since and finally I think I've found the perfect combination for my hair. I've found the perfect oil for my scalp. It isn't heavy for my hair or my scalp, the smell is delicious - like almonds and gorgeous-ness - so good I want to lick it off! I don't know how to properly describe this but, after using it, my hair just looks - adorable? Like my hair just looks so soft and healthy and attended to, like a child's - in only the best possible way. I have nothing but good things to say about this product and I will be buying the full version shortly! Truly the best thing that ever happened to my scalp.
Thank you SO much for that sample. Saved my sanity. I was at my wit's end regarding my hair and scalp. Thank you so much! Wonderful product!

I received this as a sample and I'm very glad I did! It leaves my 3c/4a hair feeling super soft and smelling divine (actually it smells a bit like batten-burg cake..). I've found it a tad too heavy for my whole head, but it works well on my ends and also for giving my conditioner a bit of a boost. It would probably make a great pre-poo, too.

I wrote an initial review for this product and gave it 3 stars. After trying it with a shower cap to help the oil penetrate, I find that this oil is one of the best. The smell is nice. Castor oil is amazing. The product is high quality and pure. Most of all, this is the best oil as PRE-POO and as a SEAL. I now use it in two ways: first, I apply it to detangle my hair in twists. This helps a lot to reduce mechanical damage of my dry 4c curls. After the shampoo, ACV rinse, deep conditioner, and application of moisture, I seal with Cocasta. I now have to order another bottle.

I bought this product after the reviews. I was happy about the price to product quantity, especially seeing that some products are quite expensive for small quantities -though I don't mind paying a lot for products that work. I am left with mixed feelings. Basically, I did not find a good use for this product yet. On my dry Type 4c hair, I could not tell whether the oil penetrated, I will try it with heat. For some reason, it tickles my scalp a bit-maybe that's what it's supposed to do to stimulate growth. It is a heavy oil, so I could not use it casually. Maybe it would make a good pre-poo. It was way too heavy for my daughter's 3a-b curls (her fine hair got sticky). So....mixed results.

Love the smell. Love the consistency. This definitely a keeper.

The smell was strange at first, I didn't know what it was but then I realised it was almond and it really started to grow on me. The oil is a nice consistency - thick but not too thick and works great as a sealant. The smell is pleasant and light on the hair

Love the smell. Wanted to try the Hairveda brand. Did not work on my type 4 hair. It's too greasy to penetrate. I went by the reviews above and was very surprised at my personal experience. I now have a bottle that I don't know what I'll use it for.

Cocasta Shikakai has ayurvedic powers in it (Shikakai,
Brahmi, Amla Extract) for 'growth' and moisture.
With the consistency of light castor oil, and oddly the smell of play-doh (?), I warm it and apply to my scalp and 3c/4a tresses as a hot oil pre-poo. Using a plastic cap, I then sleep overnight and cleansing co-wash in the morning.
Works wonders but also fairly expensive for oil, so i am keeping one star back until I get some amazing growth or something else regular castor oil/olive oil/JBCO doesn't already bring me!!

The best oil I have ever used. I absolutely love it!! Leaves my hair moisturised, very soft and shiny. I would definitely recommend it :)
Posted by Moodyma'am on 20th Jul 2011
My hair is 3c/4a very mildly texlaxed. I add a squirt of this to a mix of CG conditioner and water to use as leave in and its ace!!!
Also the label says it helps regulate scalp sebum levels. My scalp has always been super dry but not any more.
this is definitley a keeper for me and i love it!!

OMG!! This product is the bomb, leaves my hair well mousturised, well shiny and well soft! My hair has never looked this healthy! Bought a sample size before, but just had to come back for the bigger size!
Money well invested, would recommend to anyone! :)

My thirsty 4a hair has been thanking me kindly for this wonderful oil, and I've used it once, since it was delivered to me only yesterday. But it has transformed my dry and hard hair overnight.
I shall definetely be using it regularly.
