Choosing a hair product often comes down to a fork in the road: Are you trying to rebuild and strengthen hair from the roots, or do you simply want to wash in some color and cover grey? The Batana Oil Conditioner and the Polar-Hair Dye Shampoo sit on opposite sides of that split, so the right pick depends on what your hair needs right now.
Quick Verdict
The Polar-Hair Dye Shampoo is the faster, all-hair-type color fix; the Batana Oil Conditioner is the deeper treatment for growth and repair. Choose Polar for grey coverage in 10 minutes, choose Batana for thickness and strengthening.

Product Notes
Batana Oil Conditioner for Hair Growth and Hair Loss Treatment
The Batana Oil Conditioner is less of a quick color fix and more of a weekly repair ritual. The formula is built around batana oil, which comes from palm fruit and is meant to activate hair follicles, strengthen roots, and add density while also repairing damaged strands. It is a conditioner and cream treatment with a scent that sits between nut oil and earthiness, closer to coffee caramel than a floral fragrance. If you are sensitive to strong scents, the scent warning says to buy with caution, so choose this one only when the aroma does not bother you. The 120ml size is smaller than the 200ml shampoo, and at US$10.95 it is the pricier of the two in this matchup. Choose it when your goal is thickness, moisture, and root support rather than a temporary color change.
Polar-Hair Dye Shampoo
The Polar-Hair Dye Shampoo is the opposite kind of product: a 2-in-1 cleanser and color depositor designed to cover grey hair in roughly 10 minutes. It works on all hair types, and the color can last about 4 to 6 weeks with proper care. The shampoo comes in a 200ml/6.7 OZ bottle and is available in four colors, so it is a low-commitment way to refresh your shade at home without a separate dye kit. At US$9.99, the Polar shampoo costs about a dollar less than the Batana conditioner. The trade-off is that it is not a deep conditioning treatment. If your main concern is visible grey rather than hair strength, this is the more direct solution; if you need repair and regrowth support, you would want a treatment product instead.
Final Choice by Use Case
- If you are dealing with thinning, weak, or damaged hair and want a treatment that stays on the hair, the Batana Oil Conditioner is the closest match. It is a conditioner and cream designed to support growth, repair moisture, and strengthen roots.
- If your immediate goal is covering grey before your next event, the Polar-Hair Dye Shampoo is the faster choice. It removes the need for a separate color kit and works within a typical shampoo routine.
- For the shopper who wants a single product for color refresh and daily washing, Polar makes sense. For the shopper prioritizing density and root health over color, Batana is the stronger fit.
