The product information includes an important note specifically addressing this: "If your scalp is sensitive or you react easily to fragranced products, it is wise to test a small amount first." This is crucial advice to follow. Before any full application, perform a patch test by applying a small amount of oil to a discrete area of your skin (like behind your ear or the inner elbow) and leaving it for 24 hours to check for any redness, itching, or irritation. Furthermore, the instructions state to use only externally and to stop use immediately if irritation appears. Many hair oils, including this one, contain fragrance which is a common irritant. If you have a known sensitive scalp or conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, consulting a dermatologist before introducing any new haircare product is always a recommended precaution.
