What is a Co-wash you might ask?
The (Co) in Co-wash stands for condition and the (Wash) is a replacement for (Poo) as in Shampoo.
Our African Batana Oil Co-wash pre-conditions, moisturizes, detangles, softens, & washes your hair all at the same time—unlike your contemporary shampoo which leaves your hair and scalp feeling robbed of moisture when you are done.
Wash with HOT and rinse with COLD and leave it in for 20 minutes before rinsing. If you want the complete experience then we suggest that you get the entire African Batana TRIO.
This Co-wash is more for the thicker or 4c type of hair. Keep in mind that all Co-washes aren’t created equal.
Why African Batana Oil Actually Grows Your Hair (The “Why”)
Most oils sit on top of the hair. Batana Oil from Africa penetrates straight into the cortex. It is one of the few natural oils rich in tocotrienols (a supercharged form of Vitamin E) , oleic acid, and palmitic acid.
Here’s how that equals growth:
It wakes up dormant follicles by increasing blood circulation to the scalp.
It stops breakage at the source—stronger strands mean you keep every inch of new growth.
It seals split ends instantly, so your length retention finally matches your growth rate.
You don’t just see new growth. You stop losing the growth you already earned.
The Alkaline Difference (Educating You on the Chemistry)
Our African Batana Oil Co-wash is not acidic like most conditioners. It is a mildly alkaline co-wash—and that is by design.
Why? Because of how traditional African Batana oil is made:
The raw Batana kernels are roasted. During roasting, a natural chemical reaction occurs:
Free fatty acids are neutralized.
The pH of the oil shifts into a mild alkaline range (still safe for your scalp and hair).
What does that mean for your wash day?
