Your questions, answered

What's different between the three oils?

All three start from the same Haitian Black Castor Oil. Rosemary Peppermint adds a cooling feel for the scalp, Mango Papaya & Coconut has a light tropical scent for ends, and Light is a thinner oil for fine hair and finishing.

Can I use more than one at the same time?

Yes. Many customers use Rosemary Peppermint on the scalp and Light or Mango Papaya through their lengths.

Is it gentle enough for the whole family?

It is made from castor seeds with nothing harsh added, and many parents use it on children's edges. As with any oil, do a patch test first.

Are Kreyòl Essence products suitable for all hair types?

Yes, from fine and wavy to curly, coily and 4C hair.
