Batana Oil is dark-colored and smells like burned sugar cane. But hey - you want it for how it will bring your hair back to life, not the aroma, right? Batana Oil is extracted from the nuts of the American oil palm tree (Elaeisoleifera) by the Miskito people of La Moskitia, Honduras. They have used the oil for centuries. Although the Miskito people work in the sun all day, their neighbors call them "Tawira," which means People of Beautiful Hair. That's because Batana Oil thickens and beautifies your hair, bringing out its natural vibrant, shining color and joyous bounce. REVITALIZE YOUR HAIR: Flavor Shea Batana Oil is a great way to nourish and repair damaged hair, give your hair a fresh, beautiful glow, or even reverse hair loss! FORGET ABOUT SPLIT ENDS: Not only does this great hair beauty oil mend split ends, but it also moisturizes dry and brittle hair, tames the fuzzy fuzzies, and adds body.
