Will burdock oil leave my hair greasy, and how can I avoid that? — BURCH OIL EVALAR 100ML (repejnik) (репейник)

Burdock oil is a plant oil, so the risk of a greasy result is real if you apply too much or leave too much residue behind. The product is designed as a pre-wash oil, not a leave-in styling oil, so the greasiness should disappear during shampooing.

Practical ways to keep the finish light:

• Start with less oil than seems necessary. A small amount spread through sections is easier to distribute evenly than a large pour.
• Focus the oil on mid-lengths and ends, not only the roots. This is where dry, rough, straw-like texture usually shows up first.
• Massage the shampoo into the scalp and lengths well. The first lather lifts the oil; the second lather cleans more thoroughly. Two washes are common after an oil treatment, especially for fine or oily hair.
• If you usually condition after shampooing, you may not need much conditioner after an oil pre-treatment, because the oil already has a conditioning effect on the outer layer of the hair.
• If the hair still feels heavy, reduce the amount next time or shorten the contact time.

The purpose of this product is not to produce a visible oily coat. It is chosen to improve the look and feel of brittle, frizzy or dehydrated lengths, with the traditional result being smoother and shinier hair after washing.
