The day before wash day, I apply Batana oil as a pre-poo. It makes my hair softer and has cut down a lot of the shedding that typically occurred in the past when washing my hair. I love using it this way! Additionally, it's very important that it is authentically sourced.

1st Pure Batana Oil Purchase
Texture is different than what I’m used to but you can tell this isn’t watered down batana oil. Has a slightly burned coffee smell to it. My first time buying the solid oil. I will say it seems to be doing something to my scalp since it itches a bit (not in a concerning way) after applying. Dr. Sebi recommended it so there’s def something in this that is great for the thriving hair. Will see how things go in the next couple months! Seller was very nice and responsive! :)

Before you order any Batana oil…make sure it is really Batana Oil
Before you order any Batana oil product, do your research — there are a lot of fakes out there. I used ChatGPT to help me identify a genuine product, and it led me here. Good call.
Here's how you know it's real: it's brown, it smells smoky, and it's thick like a paste with some oil in it. If it's not brown, or it's completely liquid, question its authenticity. Color and smell are your clues.
I've been using it for less than three months as a pre-poo — I apply it before washing, cover with a cap for at least an hour, then wash, condition, and style as usual. The results are already visible. My hair is thicker and at least an inch longer. One jar lasted about two months at that frequency, which I think is reasonable for what you're getting.
Ordering on Etsy is easy — you get an acknowledgment immediately and the product arrives when it's supposed to. I liked the oil enough that I added the shampoo and conditioner on my second order. We'll see how those perform, but so far this product has earned my trust.
If you're on the fence, do your homework first — then buy with confidence.

CCD,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Feedback like this truly means a lot to us, especially because you clearly took the time to research Batana oil and understand what authentic Batana should actually look and feel like before purchasing. THIS IS WHAT MANY DONT UNDERSTAND AND YOU ARE 100% RIGHT - there are many products being sold as “Batana oil” that do not resemble traditional Batana at all, and it can be frustrating for customers trying to find something genuine. We really appreciate you sharing the details that helped you identify authenticity, because education is incredibly important in this space.
Yes - Real Batana oil is naturally brown, rich, smoky, and thick in texture, and those characteristics are part of what make it unique compared to heavily diluted or overly processed alternatives.
It also means a lot that you trusted us enough to come back and place a second order!!! Our goal has always been to create products that feel authentic, effective, and worth returning to — not because of hype, but because customers genuinely enjoy using them and feel confident in the quality.

Thank You Batana Babe!
Batana Babe’s Batana oil has made my very curly, 4A hair soft and moisturized. My hair wasn’t growing before using, due to its dryness and high breakage, but now I am able to maintain moisture and my ends. I’m so happy to have found this trusted company and oil.

Great product
It was easy to order and I received the product in good timing. This is the real batana oil. Since using it my hair is more manageable, shiny, moisturized and less hair shedding or breakage. I recommend this product and this company. This is the real batana oil. I just want to reiterate that. Overall, a great experience.

I love Batana Babe products and have…
I love Batana Babe products and have purchased my Batana oil from them for the past two years. I wanted authentic Batana products and Batana Babe is the best brand I have found. My hair has grown and is healthy and shiny. My products are always delivered fast and I love that because I use it for every wash day pre-poo and daily on my skin as a moisturizer. The only negative I may have is I would like a bigger jar of it, but that’s okay because I know the small batches are what makes this product the best brand out there.
Keep doing what you’re doing and don’t change a thing.
