Is it safe to use on bleached or heavily processed hair?

While this product is generally gentle, hair that is very dry, bleached, or heavily processed has a more porous structure and may react differently to herbal treatments. The source material advises starting with a shorter application time to see how your hair responds before committing to a full mask duration. This precaution helps ensure that the coating effect does not inadvertently dry out already compromised strands.

Additionally, always perform a patch test before first use, especially if your scalp is sensitive or you react easily to herbs. Avoid the eye area during application. If you have chronic scalp conditions, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are on medication, consult a specialist before use. The effect is cosmetic, so results will vary based on your hair's porosity and texture. For heavily processed hair, focusing the application on the mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp may also be a prudent approach to maintain moisture balance.
