It is best to apply the oil to wet hair and carefully comb it through to ensure that the product reaches every part of the hair in order for the oil's therapeutic properties to be effective.
The amount you should use varies depending on the amount and type of hair you have, but generally, small amounts are preferable.
The hair oil can also be used to add shine to your hairstyle, on ends, and on dry hair.
Last but not least. You can use hair oil after washing your hair as a hair treatment.
You can apply the oil from the root all the way to the ends and then use appropriate shampoo for your hair type, and always conditioner afterwards to lock in the moisture and nutrients in your hair.
