Africa's Best Originals Olive & Clove Oil Therapy 6oz
Clove oil is the difference between this and the plain olive version. It brings a warm, spiced note and a slight tingle when it goes on the scalp, which is the reason people either love it or leave it alone.
The base is olive oil with shea butter and jojoba seed oil, and it is thick enough to work as a hot oil treatment. Warmed and worked through the lengths before a wash, it softens hair that has gone dry and rough, and reduces the breakage that makes ends look thin.
- Olive, clove, shea butter and jojoba in a 6oz bottle
- Works as a pre-wash hot oil treatment or a scalp oiling
- Soothes the feel of a dry, tight scalp
- Suits natural, relaxed, pressed, texturised and colour-treated hair
Fewer snapped strands over months is how you keep length, and a regular oiling step is the cheapest way to get there.

Application tips
Stand the bottle in a mug of hot water for a few minutes before you start.
Part the hair into six or eight rows and run the oil along each parting with the nozzle, then press it in with your fingertips. Take what is left through the lengths, cover with a cap, and give it an hour before you wash. On other days, a few drops at the roots is plenty.
Results
The tingle arrives within a minute and fades slowly, which is the clove.
Underneath it the oil does the ordinary work. Rough lengths turn softer, the ends stop feeling like wire, and hair that has been snapping under a comb bends instead. A dry, tight scalp feels more comfortable. Shine returns as a low sheen rather than a gloss.
