Weleda Body Care Rosemary Conditioning Hair Oil 1,7 fl oz

The product left residue and not in the sleek happy way. The sent was overwhelming for me and I didnt feel like the oil did anything but grease up my hair.

If you look at the picture they dont match. They are advertising the pure rosemary formula but sending a conditioning oil with a blend of many different oils. The "condition and shine" version doesn't even have the rosemary smell like the real one.

I use this as a pre-shampoo scalp oil. I've always used hair brushing as a first step to brush up the dandruff and spread my hair oils, but now that my scalp is drier I don't feel it is enough. I also have some itchy scalp that really only goes away for a week or two immediately after I dye my hair. I don't actually know what that's about, but this oil takes care of it. No more itch. I was worried that it would fade my hair dye as I've had trouble with even "color safe" shampoos immediately revealing my grey roots even just a week or so after dying. This oil does not lift the color in any way. It is truly color safe. After brushing my scalp I part it and with the oil poured in one hand use my oil-dipped fingers to spread the oil on my scalp. (A dropper would be WONDERFUL!) After going all over my scalp I then massage it in as though I am "shampooing". This works as a kind of double cleanse for the scalp. Just as cream makeup removers get stuff off your skin that ordinary soap can't, this scalp oil breaks up product that perhaps ordinary shampoo doesn't. I then leave this on for 15 minutes to an hour as I do think the herbal properties are doing good things for my circulation and are strengthening my follicles. I haven't used this long enough to address whether or not it stimulates hair growth, but I wouldn't be surprised. My scalp feels so fresh and clean and it and the hair near the roots LOOKS fresh and soft. It is a bit more effort to do this "pre-cleanse" but I feel that it's worth it both in terms of short term cleanliness and calming of scalp issues and, hopefully, in terms of long term hair health and beauty. I love Weleda's purity, reputation and fair pricing compared to similar items. This is very good value for money.
