Rub one small drop of hair oil between your palms and smooth it over mid-lengths and ends. Keep it away from the roots if your scalp gets oily. Add more only after you see how your hair settles; oil can improve the look of split ends temporarily but cannot repair them.
01. Put the oil where the dryness shows
Most people need shine and slip on lengths and ends, not at the roots. Start with the last few inches of hair, then use what remains on your palms higher up if needed. Avoid the scalp if it is already oily.
02. One drop is a useful first test
Fine or low-density hair can look weighed down quickly. Start with a tiny amount and wait a few minutes before adding more. Thick hair may need more, but adding in stages gives you control.
03. Use it as a finishing step
Try oil on dry hair for shine or on towel-dried ends before styling, following the product label. Do not assume a regular hair oil is heat protection; use a product specifically labelled for heat protection if you use hot tools.
04. Set realistic expectations
Oil coats the hair surface and can make it look smoother. It cannot permanently join split ends or treat hair loss. If ends keep snapping, consider trimming and reviewing heat or chemical styling habits.
