I have been using your product, the mango papaya for about seven years now and it’s always been great for my hair and the product was always thin, but I just recently bought it again and I think you’ve changed whatever y’all put in it or however y’all make it because now it’s so thick and so dark yellow looking, and they kinda had before was really white and very thin and went in my hair very smoothand now it’s just so hard to put in my hair and I have long hair and I’m a little upset that the consistency has changed it’s not like it used to be. I’m just a little disappointed because now it’s so hard to put in my hair and it’s so thick. It just doesn’t go in my hair smooth and it made my hair grow so fast but now it’s just it’s hard to use, but I am glad for the time that I did get to use it

love it

I love the smell, very smooth, and works well. I knew the oil was working when people asked me what I put on my locs to help them stay thick and long. So you know I have to share the miracle of Kreyol essence. I honestly do not need more length for my locs I needed an oil that works to keep my hair healthy and it smells good

My son actually brought this product in March 2024. And I have been using ever since. My hair has grown, there are no more thin or bald spots coming in. My hair is long, shining, strong and healthy. This is all I will use period from now on. It’s wonderful! I love it!

I see hair growth

I purchased in mid to late Sept. I had bald spot in the center of my head and no hair around the edges. I now see a great amount of hair growth and it's so thick I can barely comb it. It really works and I coul imagine what my hair will look like at 6 months. Thank you Kreyol Essence ❤️

Incredible hair growth results

I’ve been a loyal customer since 2019. I have been consistent with using the oil and keeping my hair healthy. I have tried many many different types of hair growth oils and none of them compares to kreyol essence. And yes, I do mean NONE of them. I went from above my neck length hair to mid back length within 3 years!! I will continue to be a loyal customer and a non paid advocate for this company. To add more convincing truths, the scent of the hair oils smells heavenly!!

Heavenly scented

This is my first purchase after watching a video of one of my stylist customers. I like embarking on new oils, and supporting small businesses. I purchased the Rose and the Mango papaya! Honeyyyy when I tell you I was not ready for all of this goodness. The oil was thick to where it didn't run down the side of my face and the scent lasted all day. Just screaming "Smell my hair" lol. I still have to wait a little bit to see if I see any changes, but right now, I'm a forever customer from the scent alone.

One of my holy grails!

Love this product! I have used the vanilla chocolate and the normal variations and my favorite by far is definitely the Mango Papaya & Coconut one. I like how this variation is a little less thick, so it is easier to work with. I have extremely dry skin (especially in the winter) that drives me crazy. When I mix my Mango Papaya & Coconut oil with lotion it blends so well together. Bye bye flakes. I also like putting this oil on my scalp to address my chronic dry scalp, and simply using this as a sealant oil on wash days. The Mango Papaya & Coconut oil also smells amazing 👏

Smells so good!

This is one of, if not, my favorite hair oils. The past year, I've noticed a significant difference in the way my scalp feels and the way my hair feels. My scalp is not as dry and itchy as it used to be, and my hair has definitely become a lot stronger. Did I mention that this oil smells so good?! My hair smells amazing after I use it, especially when hair is in braids or twist. Definitely need to stock up on a few! Love this product and this brand! #AyitiCheri

I first used it in Haiti during my trip. Now I use it religiously. My very first batch was super thick and without the mango etc. This is much better in my opinion.

I've been using the kreyol essence products faithfully for about three weeks now and I can already see a difference in the way my hair looks and feels. I had locs for about 9.5 years and just recently cut my them due to some hair thinning in the front area. I would always wrapped my hair or wear a bandeau (my Haitian people know exactly what that is) to cover the thinness. Prior to utilizing kreyol essence, I spent a lot of money on products manufacturers claimed would repair my hair, but didn't. Kreyol essence smells great and has brought my hair back to life . My scalp feels great, my hair feels strong. I am currently using different types of oils: mango papya, original, and rosemary mint, I'm also using the shampoo & conditioner, and last but not least the hair pomade.

How long before I see results?

Is it gentle enough for the whole family?

It is made from castor seeds, roasted and hand-pressed with nothing harsh added. As with any oil, do a patch test first.
