How to Use this Oil?
You can use this 25 minutes to an hour prior to your shower if you prefer it as a pre-shower treatment. If you’re doing this, massage the oil a little liberally into your scalp and cover the strands with the oil till the tips. Use a mild cleanser or shampoo to wash off your hair and air dry.
Alternatively, you can use this as your daily hair oil. It’s light and can be applied to your scalp and massaged gently. Cover the strands with any remaining oil. Massage with your finger tips and brush or comb your hair a few times. If you are worried about your hair looking oily, you can do this at night instead of just before heading out or for work. When using it like this you can apply lightly instead of liberally like you apply as a pre-shower treatment.
