 ## Cache-Control
-`Cache-Control` **request** headers will be used if present. This is mainly useful for patching an
-existing library that sets request headers.
+`Cache-Control` **request** headers will always be used if present. This is mainly useful if you are
+adding requests-cache to an existing application or library that already uses caching request headers.
 
 `Cache-Control` **response** headers are an opt-in feature. If enabled, these will take priority over
 any other `expire_after` values. See {ref}`precedence` for the full order of precedence.

 To enable this behavior, use the `cache_control` option:
 ```python
 >>> session = CachedSession(cache_control=True)
