Four starred reviews greeted this new, groundbreaking classic from Deborah Wiles Franny Chapman just wants some peace. But that's hard to get when her best friend is feuding with her, her sister has disappeared, and her uncle is fighting an old war in his head. Her saintly younger brother is no help, and the cute boy across the street only complicates things. Worst of all, everyone is walking around just waiting for a bomb to fall. It's 1962, and it seems that the whole country is living in fear. When President Kennedy goes on television to say that Russia is sending nuclear missiles to Cuba, it only gets worse. Franny doesn't know how to deal with what's going on in the world--no more than she knows with how to deal with what's going on with her family and friends. But somehow she's got to make it.Binding Type: Paperback

Great product
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven't used it yet.... but I'm hoping to raise the rating. It has a very strong sent off burnt popcorn which is one of the identifiers for real batana oil.
The tamper seal was not secure. It was melted and spilled on me when I opened it. It soaked into the package also Could use better seal.
Overall I'm pleased with the product.

Smell & texture seem to be accurate
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my first time using this product for two days now. Smell is strong dark roast or maybe the hard rice smell at the bottom of a pot. The oil is hardened because it’s cold but when I put it in my hands it does melt. I put it on my hair, face and neck and so far so good. I will plan to make an updated review at the end of the product use. Thank you. So far I would recommend, also customer service was great, I asked direct questions and they were direct and helpful. ☺️

Hair Regrowt, It works,
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the truth! I was doing research on what I could use to regrow my hair. I am a black girl, and I have naturally very thick and longer hair, like to my back (though it took me a while to get there) But this past year I let a bunch of different people do my hair and they did not take care of it. My edges were basically gone. I had a bald spot like right by my edges and I had to cut off maybe 3-4 inches of hair. I was so hurt and sad but I remained hopeful and I bought banana oil after I heard Dr. Sebi talking about it (I believe that kind of stuff lol if you don't I understand) But I've been using it for 2 months now and there are baby hairs where the bald spot was and my hair is getting back to its old length. I use it excessively probably... lol I do a like a finger amount once a day or once every other day on the spot that needed the most treatment. I go to sleep in a satin cap, and I literally pray and manifest long healthy hair with this on my scalp. If you are a black girl and you have heat damage or damage from closures. GET THIS and Remember mama, your NATURAL self is always going to be the most beautiful you. Also I like the smell, kinda like roasted coffee beans

Cigarette smell; didn't work
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It seems authentic (compared to another brand I had bought) however............the smell is not that great. At first it seemed like coffee smell, but after rubbing into scalp it smelled like smoking/burning cigarettes. It's not horrific but the smell is noticeable. I wouldn't go out in public until after it's washed out of your hair. Hoped that it would help with hair growth but it didn't. The oil just made my hair fall out more.

Appearance, texture, and smell pass the test!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am rating this product on a appearance, texture and smell alone because I have not had time to use it in order to determine it's hair nourishing properties. I have studied a lot about Botana oil because there are so many products out there that have been born out of a few large names putting it out there in the market. It smells exactly like it should which is coffee and a little bit of Ash. I know that sounds strange but it really is not a bad smell. The texture and the color seem to pass the test as well. The color is a yellow brownish color. The texter is more like a butter as opposed to an oil. It puts you in the mind of shea butter. I did take a little bit out of the jar to see how oily it is and of course it's oily but once you melt it in your hands and rub it in it seems to soak in easily. This protect solid while in the jar. 100% Botana oil should never turn liquidy at all unless you have it in a very hot environment of course. I'll come back once I use the product to determine how it nourishes my hair.
