Keracare Curl Essence Oil Cocktail 4 oz / 118 ml - For Enhanced Curls & Shine
Oil cocktails sit in an awkward gap for a lot of people. Too heavy and the curl drops, too light and it does nothing at all. This one is built from quick absorbing oils rather than butters, so waves and tighter curls alike, 2a through 3c, can take it without the roots going limp.
The blend is Jamaican black castor oil, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil and soybean oil, in a 118 ml bottle. Keracare's own testing puts the moisture gain at 15.8 per cent and the shine gain at 40.58 per cent, which in practice reads as curls that keep their gloss for longer, especially in dry indoor air over winter.
Two or three drops rubbed between the palms is usually enough for shoulder length hair. Smooth it over the lengths, then take whatever is left on your hands through the ends. It also works as the oil step in a LOC or LCO routine, and on hair that reads dull rather than dry it does more than a heavier oil would.

Application tips
Dose it small and build. Tip a few drops into one palm, close your hands together, then glide them down the outside of the hair before going back for the ends.
Damp hair takes it as a sealing step after a leave in. Dry hair takes it as a shine finish. It is also the oil in an LOC or LCO order, wherever your routine puts it.
Results
Shine is the headline. Hair that had gone dull reads glossy within a minute of application, and it holds rather than dropping off by the afternoon.
Weight is the part that matters more. Because the oils are quick absorbing rather than buttery, roots stay lifted and a loose wave does not go flat under it. Winter hair, dry from indoor heating, takes it particularly well.
