2. As a Nourishing Hair Mask
Massage a generous amount into the roots and scalp, leave it on for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Scalp Massage
Use sweet almond oil once a week for a relaxing scalp massage to improve blood flow and strengthen hair follicles.

Who Should Use Almond Oil for Hair?
Almond oil works best for those with dry, normal, or combination hair. If you have an oily scalp or oily hair, apply it sparingly to the mid-lengths and ends instead of the roots.
Celebrity hairstylist Orlando Pita says:
"Sweet almond oil is especially beneficial for dry, damaged, frizzy, or coarse hair types. Its moisturizing properties combat dryness, tame frizz, and add a healthy, glossy shine."
Celebrity stylist Kimberly Gildner adds:
"One thing to remember when using almond oil is never to apply it to your hair before heat styling—only after, or before shampooing. Heating almond oil can damage the hair shaft and cause breakage."
