I want to use this oil on my dry hair. Should I apply it before or after washing, and how much should I use?

This oil can be used on the lengths of dry hair to improve the look of brittleness and frizz. The natural lipids help fill gaps in the hair cuticle, which can smooth the surface and add a soft sheen.

For a quick daily conditioner, after washing and towel-drying your hair, warm one or two drops between your palms and lightly scrunch or smooth it only onto the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid applying oil directly to the scalp unless you have tested it first, as richer oils can weigh fine hair down.

For a deeper treatment, apply a slightly larger amount (about a teaspoon, adjusted for your hair length) to dry, unwashed hair, focusing on the ends. Cover your hair with a shower cap or towel and leave it on for 20–30 minutes before shampooing as usual. This can help the oil penetrate before it's washed away.
