How exactly do I use burdock oil on my hair and scalp?

Burdock oil can be applied in two distinct ways, depending on your hair's needs. As a pre-wash treatment for the scalp and roots, apply a few drops, massage gently, and leave it on for 15–30 minutes before shampooing. This can be helpful when hair lacks density and appears tired. For use on the mid-lengths and ends, take a drop or two, warm it between your palms, and smooth it lightly onto dry or damp strands to combat frizz and improve smoothness and shine.

Because this is a richer texture, start with a small amount, especially on fine or oily hair types, and observe how your hair responds over a few washes. Applying too much can make hair feel heavy. Always avoid the eye area and, for first-time use or if you have sensitive skin, patch-test a drop on your inner arm before applying to your scalp or hair.
