How exactly do I use a hair wash oil? Is it a replacement for my regular shampoo?

The hair wash oil is designed as a milder, more protective cleansing option for times when your hair and scalp feel more delicate. Here’s how it fits into your routine:

Apply a small amount to damp hair, focusing on the scalp and roots where you need the cleansing and softening effect of the burdock oil. Massage it in gently with your fingertips—this helps loosen impurities and excess sebum without harsh friction. Unlike a shampoo, it won’t lather heavily because it uses the oil itself as the cleansing agent. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until your hair and scalp feel clean and free of oily residue. The formula is meant to rinse away, leaving a smoother feel without a heavy film.

Think of it as an alternative cleanser, not necessarily a full-time replacement for your regular shampoo. Many people use it once or twice a week, or during periods when their scalp feels irritated, their hair feels drier after washing, or they’re experiencing more seasonal shedding. It can be followed by a conditioner on the lengths if needed, as the oil rinses clean and shouldn’t interfere with other products.
