How to Use Roasted Candlenut Oil Before Shampooing
Candlenut oil has long been used for hair and scalp care in Indonesia. In Nurturish Roasted Candlenut Oil, selected candlenuts are roasted for a distinctive aroma and the oil is used before shampooing. Here is how to apply it comfortably and evenly.
# Start with a patch test
Apply a little oil to the inside of your forearm and wait about 24 hours. If you notice redness, itching or swelling, do not use it on your scalp and ask a health professional.
# How to use it
1. Gently comb your hair to remove tangles.
2. Pour a small amount of oil into your palm. Start small and add more depending on your hair length and thickness.
3. Apply to the scalp with your fingertips and massage gently for about 5 minutes.
4. Spread the rest along the hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths, with just a little on the ends.
5. Leave it on for about 30–60 minutes.
6. Shampoo until clean. Rinse again if your hair still feels oily.
# How often?
Start with once or twice a week, then adjust to how your scalp responds. If your scalp gets oily easily, use less.
# Tips for a more comfortable routine
- Put a towel over your shoulders and pillow while the oil is on.
- Do not rub your scalp too hard.
- Keep the bottle somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight.
Always follow the instructions on the packaging. If hair loss continues or your scalp feels inflamed, talk to a doctor.
