Fantasia IC Jamaican Black Castor Oil Extra Dark Deep Hair Strengthening & Growth for All Hair Types 178ml / 6.02 oz
Extra dark means the castor beans were roasted for longer before pressing. What comes out is darker, thicker and more alkaline than standard clear castor oil, with a stronger smoky smell and real weight on the hand. That weight is what makes it useful on coarse, dry, high porosity hair. It coats the strand properly, holds moisture in over a leave in, and gives enough slip that detangling stops pulling ends apart. Massaged into the scalp it softens dry skin and takes the tightness out.
Fantasia IC bottle it at 178ml/6.02 oz, which is generous for a castor oil, so it works as a weekly scalp and length treatment rather than something you ration. Best on type 3b to 4c. Fine or low density hair will find the standard version less of a load.

Application tips
Stand the bottle in a mug of hot water for a few minutes first. Extra dark castor oil is thick and it spreads badly when cold.
Part the hair into rows and apply along the scalp with the nozzle, then rub the rest through the lengths, ends first. Leave it on overnight under a bonnet, or an hour before you wash if overnight is not practical.
Results
Coarse, thirsty hair drinks it and stays soft for days afterwards, which is unusual for a single oil. The strand feels coated in a way that keeps moisture from a leave-in trapped where it is useful.
Detangling stops costing you ends. On the scalp, the dry, tight feeling eases within a couple of applications. The smoky smell is strong at first and settles within a day.
