Please wash your hair and dry it with cold air.
It's best to apply it before and after drying.😄

Just as I was running out of the product I was using, I purchased it after reading reviews along with a face mask pack, so there are no regrets~^^

The formula is not sticky and not too heavy, so it was fine to apply it by pumping several times.
I like the fragrance, but I'm also sensitive, so even if a product is good, I often can't use it well if the fragrance doesn't suit me.
The fragrance is not strong but subtle, so I reach for it often. ☺️

It's a pity that the quantity is too small. I was hoping you could provide a better price-to-performance ratio and increase the capacity.

I purchased this product after seeing many positive reviews while searching for something to address my extremely dry hair. As expected, I immediately felt the benefits upon using it. The scent is sweet, like coconut, and the liquid is transparent with a nice, medium-weight consistency. It dries well and makes hair styling easy. Most importantly, I experienced a noticeable reduction in dryness.

The volume is small, so I use it up too quickly. I wish it was a bit bigger.
But it's convenient to carry when traveling, so that's a plus.

It's lightweight without any stickiness!
It seems perfect for using in the summer.
The lingering fragrance keeps coming back to my mind even now🥹

It's convenient that it has a pump, so you can leave the transparent cap open while using it! Applying it before blow-drying your hair works even better.

The size is a bit disappointing. I wish they had a larger size available.

I've been looking for the lightest and least sticky products lately due to the heat, and I came across this one. It doesn't leave residue on my hands, so I don't have to wipe it off separately, and it's definitely less sticky. I especially like the fragrance - it reminds me a bit of a certain hair oil.

The formula is quite runny, but when applied, it leaves my hair extremely greasy and troublesome..
It's overpriced for the amount.

This lightweight hair oil works well even on dry hair, without making it feel heavy. Since I have very thick hair that tends to be fluffy, I've tried many hair care products. But this one from From Africa is perfect for my dry or damaged hair.
I'd highly recommend this light-as-air hair oil, especially to those with abundant hair. It helps settle my flyaway strands and leaves my hair feeling refreshed and calm.

I don't have any complaints so far, but I do hope the brand will consider releasing a larger size option.

The texture is just right, not too thick or too runny. The scent is also subtle and not overpowering - it's like a gentle vanilla aroma.
After towel-drying my wet hair, I applied it only to the ends and let it air-dry in the cool breeze. The lightweight formula didn't make my hair feel greasy or weighed down, which was great.
While each hair oil may differ, I'm really satisfied with the scent, texture, and usage experience of this one. Once I finish using it, I plan to buy it again for myself and even gift it to a friend for their birthday.

 The Baek Aepwon Africa Hair Oil - Dry the hair about 60% first - Use it one more time - To increase the hold, use a coin-sized amount of curl cream, and you can maintain the perm hairstyle with good hold!!

 This product has always been convenient to carry in my bag when going to the swimming pool. However, I often felt anxious because I had the impression that the lid was not properly locked when I opened it. Sure enough, it was slightly open in my bag, and the contents leaked out. I tried to twist and lock it tightly, but I'm not sure if it was a defect or if the locking mechanism was just loose on the original product. I didn't get the feeling that it was fully locked. Since it's an oil-based product, when it leaked, it was difficult to wipe off completely, and I was left with a lingering residue. I think it would be great if you could re-design the locking mechanism to improve its reliability.

 My scalp is dry/I recently had scalp inflammation/I'm in my 30s/I swim
I was using Silk Therapy before, but it recently ran out, so I was wondering what to buy when I had the good fortune of winning an event.🤭👍🏻

The main difference is that, as advertised, it can be used easily without stickiness, unlike Silk Therapy, which is similar to regular sticky hair oil. The Baekabwon African Hair Oil can be used easily without stickiness, and you don't even need to wipe your hands.
When I used to dry my hair, it would go oil-dry-oil again-dry, and in the end, there would be an incredible stickiness from the hair dryer. 🥲 But with this product, I can use it without worry.
And other hair oils are sticky, so you have to apply them section by section, which is inconvenient in the busy mornings. But the non-sticky Baekabwon product can be easily spread after pumping, so I can quickly apply it on my way home after my morning swim among the crowd.🙏🏻 If I apply it once at the beginning of drying and then again when my hair is about 60% dry, the curl of my permed hair comes back, and I'm very satisfied!! I thought it might dry out easily without stickiness, but I didn't have that concern and enjoyed using the product.🥹🤭 However, it gets used up quite generously.😈😈
When I pump it, it flows like water, so the density is lower than the previous oil, so I tend to use more, but since I got it from the event, I'm using it freely and abundantly.👍🏻🖤

There was not a single disappointing aspect. The price, the amount, the quality... everything was perfect...

❗️100% real review from actual use❗️

🎀Usage Review: I usually keep my hair long, down to my waist, and I have an abundance of hair... So my scalp and hair are always dry and frizzy. The outer part of my hair gets damaged quite a bit from UV exposure, so while the inner part is soft, the outer part is dull and rough 😢
That's why I always apply an essence or oil before washing and drying my hair.
I've been applying it diligently every day, but I'm not sure if it's really effective 😢 I just thought it's better than not using anything... And even when I used well-known brands that everyone knows, I wasn't that satisfied either.
They tend to be too sticky, and if I apply even a little bit too much, my hair gets weighed down immediately... The scent is also artificial and strong... These drawbacks have always been disappointing, but I had no choice but to use them.
As someone who has been a nomad between hair oils and essences, the From Africa Hair Oil has addressed the shortcomings of previous hair products 😛
1️⃣ No stickiness
This was always one of the most disappointing aspects I mentioned earlier 😢😢 Whenever I applied oil before drying my hair, my hands would always be slippery and sticky, and I had to hastily wipe it off with a wet towel, and even then it still felt unpleasant. But the From Africa Hair Oil has a relatively thin consistency, so there's hardly any stickiness left on my hands.
2️⃣ Natural scent
For some reason, hair products tend to have a very strong scent. Like 'Oh, I can tell you used something on your hair.' But the From Africa Hair Oil has a subtle, natural scent that feels like my own hair fragrance.
3️⃣ No weighting down

There are no major downsides. However, a larger size option would be appreciated.

1. The scent is not overpowering, but there is a subtle, sweet chocolate-like fragrance that is pleasant.
2. The pump-style packaging makes it easy to use, and there is no wastage.
3. After use, the oil left on the hands is not sticky or unpleasant. I rinsed it off with water, but it could also be wiped off with a towel.
4. The application is smooth and soft, and when applied to damp hair and dried, it helps reduce flyaways compared to normal. The oil does not make the hair feel greasy.
5. The small size is convenient for traveling or carrying in a daily pouch without much hassle.

As this is a lightweight, water-like hair oil, it works well for applying as a finishing touch to styled hair

Since I have damaged, wavy hair, I needed to use more of this oil than my previous products in order to get the desired level of nourishment and to control the frizziness.

Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the scent of this hair oil (a blend of shea butter, chocolate, and woody notes).
While the fragrance doesn't linger for too long, it's a scent that may be hit-or-miss for some.

This is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer review :)

My hair is naturally wavy, thick, and fine-textured.
Due to frequent dyeing and bleaching, my hair is quite damaged.

When purchasing hair products in the past, I have used rich, creamy hair oils that are formulated for severely damaged or protective hair.

After shampooing, I would towel dry my hair once and, while it was still damp, apply the hair oil from the ends to the full length of my hair. Then I would blow-dry my entire head of hair, and afterwards, lightly apply the hair oil again (avoiding the scalp).

I used the hair oil the same way I had been using my previous products, applying it in the evenings after shampooing once a week.

The hair oil has a much lighter, more fluid texture compared to the products I had been using before, so I was able to use it comfortably without any heavy, greasy feeling in my hair.

Since it's an oil, I feel like it's better that it doesn't touch my face! I felt like it was causing some breakouts, so I avoided applying it to the hair closer to my face.

!Hwahae Trial Reviewer!

First of all, I really liked that the product wasn't sticky at all! 
I'm someone who really does a lot to my hair. Right now, my hair has been permed twice and dyed twice over the past three months, so I was thinking I really need to start taking care of it. Luckily, I was selected for the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program, so I was able to see the effects. Even though my hair is short and choppy, at night after washing it and waking up in the morning, my hair was nicely settled - and this was just after one day of use. I also really liked how soft and smooth my hair felt after applying it! It made my hair look healthy, which I liked.

As for the scent, I think it's one that might be a bit polarizing!
It's very sweet and rich..? I'm not sure if it's a woody scent or not! But even though I said that, I'm a fan! 

On days when I'm feeling lazy, just applying the polishing oil is great, and applying both products together doesn't make my hair feel weighed down at all~
