How Much Hair Oil Should You Actually Use?

September 12, 2026 · 3 min read

Most men use too much oil the first time and decide oil is not for them. Start with a few drops in your palm, warm it between your hands, and work it through the mid-lengths and ends.\n\nIf your curls feel weighed down, halve the amount next time. If they still feel dry by the end of the day, add a drop. Short hair usually needs very little; longer, denser curls can take more.\n\nApply to the hair, not the scalp, and always on damp hair for the most even distribution.
