Design Essentials Botanical Oils Hair & Scalp Treatment 4oz
An oil blend earns its place by what the individual oils in it actually do, and this 4oz bottle is picked rather than thrown together. It runs across type 2 waves through to 4c coils.
Jojoba is closest to the scalp's own sebum, so it balances rather than adds grease. Sweet almond oil carries vitamins A, B and E and softens the shaft. Argan oil brings antioxidants and fatty acids and takes the edge off frizz. Castor oil is the thick one, and it conditions the scalp and coats the roots. Lavender rounds off the scent. The blend stays light enough to absorb quickly, so hair reads shiny rather than oily, which is the usual failure of a scalp oil.
- Softens dry, brittle lengths without a heavy residue
- Seals moisture in, so less is lost between washes and less breaks
- Conditions the scalp and eases the tight, dry feel of it
- Adds shine and covers hair against heat and weather

Application tips
Two uses, and they want different amounts. On the scalp, part in rows and place a few drops directly on the skin, then massage with the pads of your fingers for a minute or two.
On the hair, warm a small amount in the palms and press it over dry ends, or add it to damp hair after a leave-in to seal. Less is more here. An oil applied heavily takes days to leave.
Results
The scalp stops feeling tight within minutes and holds that comfort for a day or two. Nothing is left slick at the roots, so the hair still moves.
On the lengths it brings a clean shine and takes the dryness out of ends that have gone rough. Hair looks conditioned rather than coated, and it holds moisture better through the week.
