Application is really very simple. It can be used prior to shampooing or even as a nightly treatment. Never use too much or else you run the risk of the oil weighing too heavily in the hair possibly leaving it greasy and heavy. First, take a small portion in the palm of your hand – five or six drops and then work into your scalp. I can’t emphasize enough use a little bit first until you know the levels necessary. Then take a bit more and work into the base of the hair and massaging into the entire length of the hair. This will help straighten and repair those split ends. Leave an hour or so before shampooing. Your hair should be softer and shiner. Another application can be a small amount after washing and before blow drying. The oil is unique as it doesn’t burn like most hair serums that have a chemical base. As such there will be no unpleasant smell and smokeless. Finally, for a truly deep treatment leave over night and then shampoo in the morning. This will best treat your hair and scalp. This treatment should be done 2-3 times per week for optimum results.
