Sunny Isle Rosemary Mint Hair & Strong Roots Lite Oil 2oz/59 ml
Fine hair and low porosity hair have the same complaint about scalp oils: everything sits on top and nothing sinks in. This is the lighter version of Sunny Isle's Rosemary Mint Strong Roots Oil, thinned down for exactly that problem, in a 2oz travel size.
The ingredient list is longer than the plain castor blends. Jamaican black castor oil is still the base, joined by rosemary, peppermint, biotin, tea tree and vitamin E. It comes with an applicator tip, so you can part the hair and put oil on the scalp rather than on the hair.
How to use it:
- Part into sections and run the nozzle along each parting
- Massage for three to five minutes, minty tingle included
- Leave it in, morning or evening, no rinsing
- Repeat daily if your scalp likes it
Free from parabens, sulphates, mineral oil and petroleum. Suits all hair types, but the reason to pick the lite version over the standard one is fine, low-porosity or naturally oily hair.

Application tips
Daily use is realistic with this one, because a thinner oil does not build up the way a thick one does. Morning works as well as evening.
Trace the nozzle down a parting, lift the next section, repeat. Four or five rows covers the head. Rub it in properly afterwards rather than leaving beads sitting on the skin, and do not rinse.
Results
For the first few minutes the scalp feels fresh and cool, then simply comfortable. Skin that had been tight and flaky settles within a week or two of daily use.
Roots stay light, which is the difference the thinner formula makes. Low porosity hair will not take in a heavy oil and ends up wearing it instead.
