 How to Use It

For Scalp & Growth

  • Apply a small amount directly to the scalp.
  • Massage with fingertips for 3–5 minutes to increase circulation.
  • Leave on for 1 hour or overnight (if your scalp tolerates oils).
  • Wash out with shampoo.
  • Use 2–3 times per week for best results.

For Hair Strength & Shine

  • Warm a teaspoon and smooth through the mid-lengths and ends.
  • Use as a pre-shampoo treatment once a week.

For Thinning Edges

  • Apply a tiny amount daily and massage gently.

 Shelf Life & Storage

Room Temperature

  • Lasts 2–3 months in a cool, dark place in a sealed glass bottle.

Refrigerated

  • Lasts 4–6 months
  • Oil may solidify (especially coconut oil)—just warm the bottle in warm water before use.

Tips

  • Always use clean hands/dropper to avoid contamination.
  • If smell or color changes drastically, discard.

 Extra Tips for Faster Results

  • Warm the oil slightly before applying—helps penetration.
  • Be consistent; natural remedies take time (usually 4–8 weeks to notice improvement).
  • Pair with a balanced diet rich in iron, protein, and healthy fats.
  • Avoid applying too much oil to avoid buildup.
