When you put it in your hands rub it together so it becomes like a grease almost a liquid.

Then start at the roots and work all the way to the tips.

You can put it on your face and body as well. It makes your skin soft.

Yeah I've heard so many good things about it I just hope it helps my hair out since its really dry damaged n dull :/

You can leave it in overnight too, make sure you put a towel over your pillowcase bc it can stain your pillowcases, and just coat your hair in it and leave it overnight and wash it in the morning, it will help your hair so much! you can use this on your skin too! It's great for a lot of things :)

If you want a full hair mask and your hair is long and full, just scoop a bit of the oil into a bowl and microwave it (short! like 10-20 sec.) so it'll become liquid. Then let it cool off just a bit in case it is hot and apply to your hair. I always braid it afterwards and sleep with it, without applying it to the roots and scalp because it might still look greasy after you wash it out. The tips will just look amazingly healthy and shiny.

Azira, have you ever tried rubbing it in your hands and letting your body temperature melt it? That's how I melt mine down, the only reason I'm saying anything is cause I just don't want you to burn yourself with putting it in the microwave! :(

Along the lines of what Azra S said, there's nothing wrong with making sure to oil the scalp too and do a nice massage with this oil in addition to just applying to your strands. Most shampoos, even non - sulfate ones will wash this out including the scalp. You might want to check out a video or two on YT for "hair oiling" there are lots of vids that demonstrate this type of treatment.
