Our Take

A texture-transformer from the Mongongo Oil range that melts from a solid pomade to a lightweight oil when warmed in the hands — combining almond oil, safflower oil, and Cera Alba (beeswax) to fight frizz, add shine, and provide humidity resistance on straightened styles. Contains Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein for structural support alongside the styling benefits. The mongongo oil's linoleic acid content makes it beneficial for dry scalp conditions as well. CGM-modified due to beeswax, which builds up gradually on natural hair and needs a clarifying shampoo every four to six washes to remove — factor that into your rotation if you use this regularly.
