  1. Use hair clips or ties to divide your hair into 4 even sections.[1] Rub about 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of the Mielle oil into to your scalp between each section.
    • If you have thick hair, part it into 6 or more sections. If you have braids or weaves, work the oil onto your scalp between each section.[2]
    • To use as a hot oil treatment, drop 3 tablespoons (44 mL) of the oil into a heat-safe bowl. Place the bowl in a larger container filled with hot water for a few minutes.[3]
      • Test the oil on your wrist to make sure it isn’t too hot, then apply it to your scalp as normal.
  2. Massage the oil in with your fingers or a scalp massager. Focus on working the oil into your scalp to reap all the benefits from the treatment.[4] To treat the rest of your hair (not just your scalp), use your fingers to work the oil all the way down to your ends.[5]
    • Optionally, apply the oil before straightening your hair for a smooth, sleek look.

  3. If your hair is straight or gets oily easily, try to leave it in for 30 minutes to an hour.[6] If your hair is coily, thick, or dry, leave the oil in your hair for a few hours or overnight, then wash it out with shampoo.[7]
    • Mielle only advises washing their product out if you’re using it as a split-end treatment.[8] However, others recommend washing it out after 30 minutes if you have straight or especially oily hair.[9]
    • Test the oil on a small area of your scalp for an hour to see if it irritates your skin before leaving it on overnight.
