For dry, rough or split-prone hair, the most effective way to use this oil is as a pre-wash treatment. Apply it to dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends where strands tend to be most brittle. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes (or longer if your hair is very dry) before shampooing. Because the oil sits on the hair shaft, it gives the strands time to absorb the nourishing ingredients before the shampoo removes excess oil.
If you prefer a lighter routine, add a very small amount – roughly a drop or two – to your normal shampoo in your palm, then wash as usual. This helps soften the hair without leaving it heavy. For very thick or coarse hair, you can also use a few drops as a leave-in on damp ends after washing, but start with less than you think you need.
How often you use it depends on your hair’s condition. Once or twice a week is a reasonable starting point for damaged hair. If your scalp is sensitive or easily irritated, pay attention to how it responds to fragranced products, and do a patch test on your inner arm before first use. This product is for external use only; avoid contact with eyes. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a chronic scalp condition, or are on medication, consult a specialist before adding a new hair care product to your routine.
