There are a couple of ways you can use it. Like someone said before it is sticky straight from the plant, but its more concentrated that way too.
There are two ways that I normally use this. I mix some with distilled water, and a little bit of tea trea and alittle bit of rosemary essential oil. I spray my hair and scalp with this before I do a hot oil treat ment. (go light on the rosemary because its a stimulant and you don't want it to get uncomfortable while you are under your heating cap or dryer).
You can also add it to any conditioner, shampoo or cream rinse that you use. I've never tried to mix it with just an oil, but someone here has suggested that and I think I may try it.
