How to Apply Hair Oil Correctly for Maximum Results

Even a good hair oil won't do much if it's applied the wrong way. Start with a small amount on your fingertips and section your hair so the oil reaches the scalp directly, not just the strands. Use gentle circular motions to massage for 5–10 minutes — this is what actually improves circulation to the follicles.

Leave the oil in for at least an hour, or ideally overnight, before washing with a mild shampoo. Applying oil right before a wash and rinsing it out in minutes rarely gives it enough time to be absorbed.

For best results with Amokesha Herbal Hair Oil, aim for two to three sessions a week rather than a single heavy application.
