A pea sized amount of batana oil is usually sufficient for most hair lengths. Rub the oil between the palms and smooth it over the ends of the hair. Avoid applying large amounts near the roots, which may make the hair appear greasy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis method works well after blow drying, flat ironing, or roller setting.

Many people use it as a hot oil treatment. Warming the oil slightly helps it penetrate the hair shaft more effectively. Fine relaxed hair may benefit from rinse out treatments, while thicker hair textures may tolerate leave in use. Batana oil can be used in two different ways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeave in Use\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA small amount can be applied to damp or dry hair as a finishing oil.
