Should the oil be applied to the scalp or the hair? The correct method depends on your goal and hair type.

  • If your goal is to reduce hair loss and support hair follicles → scalp
  • If your goal is to moisturize and reduce split ends
    In this article we explain the difference in detail, and how to apply the oil in the right place according to your hair type.
