does this hair oil really work?

[volcel]

I've heard so many good things about this hair oil but idk for sure since it could just be people being paid for advertisment, anyone have any experience with it?

it's good for thick, curly, or very dry hair but if you have thin or oily hair it will flatten it

do you know if it has any side effects if I apply more than suggested?

it can trap sweat, bacteria, and dead skin cells underneath leading to folliculitis

depends on what you're end goal is (pre-wash treatment, scalp health and growth, or as a finishing oil??)

apply it 2-3 times a week, before a shower, and leave it on for 45 mins to 3 hrs
spend atleast 5 mins doing a scalp massage with your fingertips to wake up the hair follicles, and double shampoo

after I'm done doing shampoo twice do I still use a conditioner or nah? also should I get my hair wet before applying or no as well?

absolutely use a conditioner
oil and water don't mix so apply on dry hair

i asked gemini for a more formal approach and this is what it said:

1. The Pre-Shower Phase (At Home, Dry Hair)​

• Step 1: While you’re just hanging out (watching TV, gaming, etc.), apply 1–2 tablespoons of the oil to your dry scalp.
• Step 2: Do your 5-minute vigorous massage right then and there.
• Step 3: Now, wait for 50 minutes to 3 hours. You are just living your life during this time while the oil sits on your head. This "dwell time" is what actually lets the nutrients reach the follicle.

2. The Shower Phase (After the Wait)​

• Step 4: Now you hop in the shower. This is where you remove the oil.
• Step 5 (Double Shampoo): Use shampoo, rinse, and then shampoo a second time. The first wash breaks the oil down; the second wash actually clears your pores.
  
  

  Note: You do the vigorous massage during the oil phase (Step 2), not the shampoo phase. When shampooing, be firm but gentle so you don't tangle and break your hair while it's wet.

• Step 6 (Conditioner): Apply conditioner to the ends only, wait a minute, and rinse.
• Step 7: Hop out and you're done.

Why you can't just do it all in the shower:​

If you put the oil on and immediately wash it off, the Amla never has time to do anything—you're basically just pouring money down the drain. You need that 45-minute "soak" on dry hair for the growth benefits. If you leave it on longer than 3 hours, the mineral oil starts to "suffocate" the scalp, which can lead to the side effects we discussed.
