If your hair is extremely dry or damaged, you might benefit from more frequent applications initially.

Our amber glass bottles help protect the oil from light exposure that can degrade its quality. You'll know the oil is still good by its rich, nutty aroma and smooth texture. If the oil develops an off smell or changes consistency significantly, it's time to replace it. For best results, use within 6-12 months of opening.
