How to use herbal hair oil?
- Just take one or two spoons if you want to use the oil (depends on how long your hair is)

- Apply the oil to the scalp and all of the hair.
- It is preferable to leave overnight or for several hours.
- Then wash your hair using just enough herbal shampoo (dont use too much as it will rip the natural oils).
