Can I use this oil on my scalp, and what should I be careful about?

Yes, this oil is designed for application to both the scalp area and the hair lengths. When used as a pre-wash treatment, warming the oil slightly can help it spread more evenly from the roots through the lengths. Applying oil to the scalp can help nourish the skin and hair follicles. However, there are important considerations. First, because this is a rich blend of plant oils, you should use it with moderation if your scalp or hair gets oily quickly to avoid excess buildup. Second, and crucially, if your scalp is sensitive, reactive, or prone to conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, you must perform a patch test first. Apply a small amount to a discreet area of skin (like behind the ear or inner elbow) and wait 24 hours to check for any irritation. Avoid the eye area entirely during application. Discontinue use if any irritation appears on the scalp.
