Afrocenchix
Our Take
A newer addition to the Afrocenchix oil range, positioned specifically for damaged, brittle, or processed hair. The standout ingredients are chia seed oil and Sacha Inchi (inca inchi) seed oil, both rich in omega-3 fatty acids — compounds with evidence for rebuilding the hair's lipid layer and improving elasticity. Rosemary oil, lavender, and eucalyptus round out the blend with scalp-soothing and growth-supporting properties. Use as a pre-wash treatment on dry or damaged areas (apply overnight for deep repair and rinse with Swish), or as a daily finishing oil to seal ends. Pairs well with the Moisture Surge routine for post-braid or post-colour recovery. Protein-free.
