Africa's Best Originals Stimulating Growth Oil Coconut 4 oz
The coconut entry in the Africa's Best Originals range does the same multi-use job as the rest of the line, but coconut behaves differently from the lighter oils in it. It is more conditioning and it holds on longer, which makes it the better choice if your hair drinks product and still feels dry by the evening.
On hair it softens and adds a natural shine. On the scalp it works in without much residue. It is also sold for skin and nails, and the same properties that make it good on coarse hair make it useful on dry hands and brittle cuticles.
Breakage is where the practical benefit sits. Dry hair snaps under a comb, conditioned hair bends, and less snapping over a month means more of your length stays attached to your head.
Warm a little between the palms and work it into the scalp, then take what is left through the lengths and ends. The 4 oz bottle lasts if you resist pouring it.
Suits wavy through 3c, and works on 4a hair as a scalp oil rather than a full-length one.

Application tips
Coconut oil firms up in a cold bathroom, so tip it into your palm and hold it there for twenty seconds before you start.
Go in on the parting first with the fingertips, then take the remainder through the tips. On thick or coarse hair this can go on the night before a wash and be shampooed out. On skin, a small amount on damp hands after a shower.
Results
Coarse hair softens and stays that way for longer than it does with a lighter oil, which is the whole reason to pick this one.
Dullness lifts into a natural looking shine. Strands bend under a comb instead of giving way, so fewer short pieces collect in the sink. Rough hands and split cuticles improve too, since one bottle covers both.
Composition
- Coconut Oil
- Conditions coarse hair heavily and holds that softness all day
