great for hair & scalp treatments!
this is the pure, raw, unrefined version of a great oil that's used by a popular name brand (theirs is diluted and severely overpriced). this oil is so, so fantastic!! it makes my hair really soft and shiny, and works wonders for dry scalp. if you've never smelled this before, be aware it smells very earthy (as it should).... kind of like a horse. you can add essential oils to it, or use it as a mask and wash it out, so it won't leave behind an earthy smell. a little goes a LONG way with this stuff! it's great!

The best natural oil I've used. This is a wonderful natural hair care product.
My dry, itchy scalp has resolved and I've only been using the oil for about 4 weeks. I also use the oil on my 5 & 7 year old grand daughters. Both the girls hair is growing very well. My bald spots at the front of my hairline are filling back in since I started using this product. The oil smells fruity but not too distracting.
