How to use neem oil on your hairs:

• Dilute 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of neem oil in 2 1⁄2 cups (590 mL) of a base oil. Neem oil is often used as a treatment for dandruff and lice, and it may also help your hair grow faster. However, it can be irritating to your skin if you use it in its pure form. To avoid this, pour 1⁄4 cup (59 mL) of pure neem oil into a bowl, then mix it with 2 1⁄2 cups (590 mL) of an oil such as olive, avocado, sesame, or jojoba oils.While you can choose any oil you prefer, a nutrient-rich option like avocado or jojoba oil will provide an extra conditioning boost to your hair.You can mix the oils in a bowl, or you can put it in a squeeze bottle for easier application.If you want to make more or less of this preparation, aim for about a 10-20% dilution of neem oil to 80-90% base oil.
The neem oil mixture is extremely rich in antioxidants, so it will nourish and condition your hair and scalp.

• Mix in 4-5 drops of your favorite essential oil to mask the smell. Neem oil has a strong smell similar to garlic. To avoid this, add about 4-5 drops of an essential oil you like, such as lavender, sandalwood, or rosemary essential oil.Avoid citrus-based oils in your hair, as they can cause irritation to your scalp if you go out in the sun.

• Apply the mixture to your hair and leave it on for an hour. Liberally apply the neem mixture to your hair, focusing especially on your scalp and roots. Once your roots are fully saturated with the mixture, pin up your hair if it's long, and wait for about an hour before you rinse it out.For even more effectiveness, leave the neem oil on your scalp overnight.You can also apply this mixture to your pets to help kill and prevent fleas.

• Wash your hair as usual after the treatment. After about an hour, wash your hair with your normal shampoo in warm water, then rinse it out thoroughly. If you can still feel the oil in your hair after the first wash, shampoo it a second time to ensure all of the oil is gone.After you wash your hair, apply your usual conditioner.Repeat this process about once a week or as often as you need to for dandruff control or general conditioning. If you're treating lice, you can use the neem oil once a day until they're gone.Store your mixture in the squeeze bottle or an air-tight container. It will stay good indefinitely. When you want to use it again, shake the container thoroughly.
