Yes, you can put rosehip oil in your hair. It's often used as a hair mask or spot treatment.
How to Use Rosehip Oil in Your Hair
- Application: Apply rosehip oil directly to your hair. Some people warm the oil slightly beforehand, but ensure it's not hot before applying to avoid burns. Massage the oil thoroughly into your hair and scalp, ensuring each strand is coated.

- Rinsing: After the treatment time, rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner.

Important Note: It's recommended to perform a patch test before applying rosehip oil to your entire head to check for any allergic reactions.
