Our Take
A versatile nourishing oil blend for very curly and coily hair that earns its place at multiple steps: pre-shampoo treatment, leave-in sealant, or finishing oil for shine. Fully silicone-free and CGM-approved — essentially a blend of plant oils with no problematic ingredients. Apply sparingly to damp hair before styling or to dry hair to seal and add sheen. A little goes a long way — start with 2–3 drops. Best for high-porosity or drier coily patterns (3c–4c) that need extra sealing after wash day. Protein-free.

How to Use
Pre-shampoo treatment: apply 4–5 drops to dry hair, leave for 20 minutes, then shampoo as normal. Finishing oil: apply 1–2 drops to damp or dry hair after styling to seal and add shine. A little goes a long way — start with fewer drops than you think you need. Use 1–3 times per week depending on how dry your hair is.
