Batana Oil Hair Mask

Description

Our Mooiste Meisie Batana Oil Hair Mask is a rich, deep-conditioning batana hair mask enriched with batana oil sourced from Brazil. It is made for hair that feels dry, brittle, frizzy or over-processed, helping it feel softer, smoother and more manageable, with a healthy shine.

Why use a batana hair mask?

Batana oil comes from the kernel of the American oil palm and has long been prized as a hair conditioner. In a mask, it gives hair a concentrated dose of conditioning that a daily conditioner cannot always match. Regular masking helps seal in moisture, smooth the hair surface and protect lengths from breakage.

Key ingredients

• Batana oil (Elaeis oleifera kernel oil): a rich oil that conditions and softens.
• Baobab oil (Adansonia digitata seed oil) and mango seed butter (Mangifera indica seed butter): nourishing emollients that help seal in moisture.
• Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and hydrolysed wheat protein: help hair feel stronger, smoother and more manageable.
• Amodimethicone, cetrimonium chloride and distearoylethyl dimonium chloride: conditioning agents that smooth the hair surface, help tame frizz and make detangling easier.
• Glycerin and betaine: humectants that help hair feel hydrated.

Key benefits

• Deeply conditions dry and brittle hair
• Helps revive the feel of colour-treated, relaxed or heat-styled hair
• Helps reduce the look of frizz and flyaways
• Helps hair resist breakage, so lengths look fuller and healthier over time
• Leaves hair soft, silky and shiny
• Cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan

Batana hair mask benefits for different hair types

• Dry or coarse hair: extra moisture and softness.
• Curly, coily and textured hair: better slip for detangling and more defined, moisturised curls.
• Chemically treated hair: helps hair feel stronger and less straw-like.
• Fine hair: use a small amount on the mid-lengths and ends only, so roots stay light.

How to use your batana oil hair mask

1. Shampoo first. Wash with our Batana Oil Shampoo and gently squeeze out excess water.
2. Apply generously to the mid-lengths and ends, working up towards the roots if your scalp is dry.
3. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb to spread it evenly.
4. Leave it on for a few minutes. For a deeper treatment, cover with a shower cap and leave a little longer.
5. Rinse well with lukewarm water.
6. Repeat once or twice a week, or more often if your hair is very dry.

Build your batana routine

• Wash with our Batana Oil Shampoo.
• Mask once or twice a week.
• Between washes, use a little Raw Batana Butter Oil on the ends or as a pre-wash scalp treatment.

Tips for healthier-looking hair

• Use heat protection and lower heat settings when styling.
• Detangle gently from the ends upwards.
• Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase or bonnet to reduce friction.

A note on hair growth

A hair mask conditions the hair you have and helps reduce breakage. It does not treat hair loss. If you notice sudden or patchy shedding, please see your doctor.
