Is hair oil treatment with buriti oil a good idea?

Buriti oil is a crystal clear ruby red oil with liquid consistency. It is rare for vegetable oil to have this type of colour, so you have to be careful with its application on hair, because it can be more visible than other oils with neutral yellowish colours. Particularly blondes should preserve caution, because red oil can cause discolourations on light hair and leave red streaks. It is best to try buriti oil on the ends alone first, before application on the entire hair length. In case, if you are afraid that oil may cause discolourations, use buriti oil as an addition to ready cosmetic, like hair conditioner.

Buriti oil can be easily used for hair oil treatment on wet and dry hair. This cosmetic can be also used heat up, i.e. after previous heating it up. It does not weight hair down and it does not cause irritations or dryness.
