How to Apply

Place 3–4 drops of oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together to evenly distribute the oil, then gently massage your scalp with your fingertips.

Do not apply the oil directly to your scalp.

Using your hands helps distribute the oil evenly and prevents over-application.

Understanding Healthy Scalp Care

A healthy scalp is the foundation of healthy hair. Contrary to popular belief, your scalp does not need to be heavily coated in oil to stay healthy. Your scalp naturally produces sebum, an oil that helps protect and moisturize the skin.

A few drops of oil once or twice a week are more than enough for most people to maintain a healthy scalp.

Applying excessive amounts of oil can lead to product buildup, attract dirt and debris, and make it more difficult to properly cleanse your scalp. Over time, this can interfere with maintaining a clean, healthy scalp.

A healthy scalp should feel comfortable and balanced—not greasy, shiny, or dripping with oil. If your scalp looks wet or heavily coated after applying oil, you've likely used more than necessary.

Even while wearing a protective style, your scalp should be cleansed regularly to remove sweat, dirt, excess oil, and product buildup.
