Yes. You read right. For all African readers you all must be like whattttttt? Growing up in a Nigerian household Red Palm Oil was a staple as well as a base dish in many of the things my family cooked. But when I did some research on the actual benefits of Palm Oil for hair I was quite surprised!
Palm Oil is actually great for moisturizing hair. Especially African- American hair which has a tendency to be drier than most (*raises hand and nods head). Besides moisturizing hair, Palm Oil has other great benefits that our can benefit from. It's great to add to a pre-poo, a deep conditioner, leave-in and even to your DIY Whipped Butter mix !

CON'S
- This oil is red/orange in color and it stains ! So please use in moderation. Especially when applying as a leave in. There's nothing worse than leaving orange stains everywhere lol.
