Hair Oil FAQs

❔ How do I use a Hair Oil?

Our hair oils are extremely versatile and can be used in different ways depending on the amount used and length of application

• Daily Moisture Sealer: with a few drops on fingertips, apply to the tips and the lengths of your lightly damp hair (spritz hair with a water-based mist or leave-in conditioner). Adjust amount for hair length. Perfect for the LOC (liquid, oil and cream) or LOCG (liquid, oil, cream and gel) methods

• Pre-poo Treatment: perfect for curls and wavy hair to counteract the dehydrating effects of shampoo, apply from roots to ends on dry hair before cleansing. Leave in for 30 minutes or overnight then wash and style as usual

• Overnight Mask: apply generously to hair and scalp, massage gently and then wrap hair with a waterproof cap, securing this with a Lava Cap (heated or not) or a scarf, bonnet or durag and leave overnight. Follow up with your washday routine the following morning.

• After Shampooing: warm oil in hands and apply to damp, towel-dried hair. Comb through and then dry and style as desired.
