How should I apply this conditioner so it doesn't make my oily roots even greasier? — Conditioner for oily hair with lemon balm, nettle, and wheat protein extracts, 430 ml - SVOBODA

With a conditioner meant for oily hair, where you apply it matters more than how much you use. The product is designed to be lightweight and to avoid the heavy, coated feel that richer formulas can leave behind, but the root area simply may not need conditioning every time.

• Use it after shampooing. Squeeze excess water from your hair first, so the conditioner is not diluted and spreads evenly.
• Apply from mid-lengths to ends. Focus on the parts that tangle or feel dry. Avoid rubbing the product into the scalp or close to the roots.
• Start with a small amount. Fine or frequently washed hair usually needs less. You can always add a little more if the lengths still feel rough.
• Let it sit briefly. A minute or two is usually enough for a light formula. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm or cool water.

This routine works with the formula's aim: it helps the lengths feel smoother while giving the scalp less contact with conditioning ingredients. If you usually condition all over, switching to a lower placement can make a noticeable difference in how quickly the roots look oily.

Also, avoid combining this with heavy hair masks or root oils before styling, especially if your hair is fine. The lighter the whole routine stays, the closer you are to the intended effect: easier combing and more movement rather than a dense, buttery finish.
