Jamaican Mango & Lime Island Oil 8 oz
Island Oil smells like the brand itself: warm, sweet and tropical.
It is built on Jamaican black castor oil with a run of other Caribbean plant oils alongside it, and it is a multi purpose bottle rather than a specialist one. On the scalp the emollient oils ease the dry, flaky feel. On locs they bring back the shine that dust and product build up take away. On loose natural hair the blend conditions the lengths, holds a twist out together and gives some cover against the weather. Textured hair of any kind takes it well.
Because black castor oil is doing the heavy lifting, the blend is richer than a plain finishing oil. Apply it to damp hair rather than dry if you want it to spread. The bottle holds 8 oz, so there is room to be generous across a full head.

Application tips
Heavy oil spreads badly when it is cold, so stand the bottle in a mug of hot water for a minute before you start. It saves you using twice as much.
Sections, then partings, then ends. A drop per parting is enough on the scalp; the lengths take more. Because it is heavy, put it on before bed rather than before work, and wrap the hair so it works overnight instead of on your collar.
Results
Locs and twists gain depth rather than surface gloss. Dull, dusty-looking hair goes rich and dark again, and the effect holds for several days rather than washing off in the rain.
On the scalp it takes the tight, dry feeling down within a day. Through the lengths it keeps a twist-out together and stops the ends going brittle in cold weather. The scent is sweet, warm and it lingers.
