Ideally, this is best used as a hair treatment oil, or as a hair mask. The oil should be massaged gently into the scalp and through the lengths of the hair for at least 10-15 minutes to stimulate the blood circulation to the scalp and allowing time for the nutrient dense oil to deliver moisture and key actives to the scalp. Leaving overnight offers the best results, but if short on time, you can leave for 2 hours and wash off with an organic or natural shampoo that doesn’t strip the hair of its natural oils.
