THE FORMULA — HAIR INFUSION OIL

What makes The Formula different from other hair oils?

The Formula is cold infused for 5 full weeks with 7 botanicals: rosemary, neem, amla, hibiscus, fenugreek, lavender and clove. Most hair oils are blended in minutes. Ours takes 5 weeks because that is how long it takes the carrier oils to fully absorb the active compounds from the herbs. No heat. No shortcuts. No fillers.

How do I use The Formula?

Apply 2 to 3 drops directly to your scalp. Massage in circular motions for 5 minutes. Leave in, do not rinse. Dry scalp: use daily. Oily or normal scalp: every other day, 3 to 4 times per week.

How often should I use The Formula?

Dry scalp: use daily. Oily or normal scalp: every other day, 3 to 4 times per week. The massage matters as much as the oil, so give it the full 5 minutes. Consistency over 8 weeks is what drives results.

How many drops of The Formula should I use?

2 to 3 drops per application. Use 2 drops for fine hair and 3 for thick or coarse hair. The Formula is concentrated, so more is not better. If your hair feels greasy you are using too much.

How long before I see results?

Most customers see visible changes by week 4. For full results, complete the 8 week challenge: apply consistently for 8 weeks. Hair growth takes time. The Formula does the work if you stay consistent.

Is The Formula safe for color treated hair?

Yes. The Formula is free of sulfates, parabens and harsh chemicals that strip color. It is safe for color treated, relaxed, chemically processed and natural hair.

Will The Formula make my hair greasy?

No. The Formula is a lightweight blend that absorbs quickly. Apply only 2 to 3 drops and massage in fully. If your hair feels greasy you are using too much.

Can I use The Formula on my edges?

Yes, and it is one of the best uses for it. Thinning edges are usually caused by tension from tight styles, traction over time, or a scalp that is not getting enough circulation. To grow your edges back, apply 2 to 3 drops directly along the hairline and massage gently in small circular motions for a few minutes. The massage stimulates blood flow to the follicle, which is as important as the oil itself. Give it a full 8 weeks and avoid tight styles along the hairline while your edges recover. Consistency is what brings edges back, not quantity.

Can men use The Formula?

Absolutely. The Formula works on all hair types regardless of gender. It is particularly effective for hairline recession and thinning at the crown, concerns that affect both men and women. For facial hair, use The Beard.

What does The Formula smell like?

Sweet orange and bergamot forward, with a warm herbal undertone from the botanicals. Light, fresh and pleasant, not heavy or overpowering.

How long does one bottle last?

A 2oz bottle lasts approximately 6 to 8 weeks with regular use. We recommend subscribing and saving 20% with auto-ship every 30 days so you never run out.

What are the full ingredients in The Formula?

Infusion oils: grapeseed oil, rice bran oil, amla oil, pumpkin seed oil, hemp seed oil. Infused botanicals: rosemary leaf, neem leaf, amla fruit, hibiscus flower, fenugreek seed, lavender flower, clove. Additives: vitamin E (tocopherol), rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil, sweet orange essential oil, bergamot FCF essential oil.

Is The Formula suitable for all hair textures?

Yes. The Formula works on straight, wavy, curly, coily and 4C hair. The lightweight grapeseed and rice bran base absorbs well across all textures and porosity levels without leaving buildup.

Can I use The Formula if I have a sensitive scalp?

The Formula contains neem and clove, which are potent botanicals. If you have a very sensitive scalp, do a patch test first: apply a small amount to your inner wrist and wait 24 hours before applying to your scalp.

Can I use The Formula with other hair products?

Yes. Apply The Formula to a clean or slightly damp scalp before styling. It works well alongside The Mist and The Finish for a complete routine.

THE MIST — HAIR REFRESH SPRAY

What does The Mist do?

The Mist refreshes and rehydrates your hair between wash days. It revives moisture, reduces frizz and keeps your hair looking and feeling alive without buildup or residue.

How do I use The Mist?

Shake well before use. Hold 6 to 8 inches from hair. Spray evenly throughout, focusing on dry or frizzy areas. Style as usual. Use as needed between wash days.

Can I use The Mist on dry hair?

Yes. The Mist is designed for dry hair. It is your between wash day refresh tool. Spray it on dry hair whenever your hair needs a moisture boost.

Can I use The Mist with The Formula?

Yes, they are designed to work together. Use The Formula on your scalp, then use The Mist to keep your hair hydrated between applications.

Will The Mist weigh my hair down?

No. The Mist is a lightweight formula designed to add moisture without heaviness. A few sprays is all you need, so do not oversaturate.

THE FINISH — SEALING OIL

How do I use The Finish?

Apply 2 to 3 drops to your palms. Emulsify by rubbing your hands together. Smooth over hair, focusing on ends and frizzy areas. Use after styling as your final step. A little goes a long way.

Can I use The Finish on my scalp?

The Finish is designed for the hair strands, not the scalp. Apply from mid-length to ends. For scalp treatment, use The Formula instead.

Is The Finish the same as The Formula?

No. The Formula is a 5 week cold infused treatment for scalp health and hair growth. The Finish is a lightweight sealing oil for the hair strands: it seals, adds shine and protects. They serve different purposes and work best together.

Will The Finish make my hair look greasy?

Not if used correctly. Use 2 to 3 drops maximum. Emulsify in your palms before applying. Focus on ends, not roots. If your hair looks greasy, you used too much.

THE DETOX — SCALP TREATMENT

What does The Detox do?

The Detox removes scalp buildup, product residue and excess oil that clog follicles and slow hair growth. Think of it as clearing the path so everything you apply afterwards, especially The Formula, actually works.

How do I get rid of scalp buildup?

Scalp buildup is a mix of dead skin, natural oil and residue left behind by styling products, dry shampoo and conditioner. Shampoo alone often does not shift it, because shampoo is formulated for hair rather than for the scalp surface. Apply The Detox directly to your scalp in sections before shampooing, massage for 3 to 5 minutes to lift the buildup away from the skin, leave it for 5 to 10 minutes, then shampoo and condition as normal. Once a week is enough for most people. If your scalp feels tight, flaky or itchy, or your products have stopped working the way they used to, that is usually buildup.

How do I use The Detox?

Apply directly to the scalp in sections before shampooing. Massage gently in circular motions for 3 to 5 minutes. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Shampoo and condition as normal. Use once a week, or as needed.

Is The Detox a pre-poo treatment?

Yes. A pre-poo, short for pre-shampoo, is any treatment applied before washing to protect and prepare the hair and scalp. The Detox is a pre-wash scalp treatment: it goes on dry hair before shampoo, loosens buildup, and stops the wash from stripping your scalp. If you already pre-poo with a plain oil, The Detox does the same job while actively clearing the follicle rather than just coating it.

Do I use The Detox before or after shampooing?

Before. Apply The Detox to your scalp, let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then shampoo as normal. It prepares the scalp to be fully cleansed.

How often should I use The Detox?

Once a week is ideal for most people. If you use a lot of styling products or have an oily scalp, you may want to use it twice a week. If your scalp is dry, use it every 2 weeks.

Should I use The Detox before applying The Formula?

Yes, this is the recommended routine. Use The Detox on wash day to clear the scalp. After washing and drying, apply The Formula for the full treatment benefit.

THE BEARD — BEARD OIL

What does The Beard do?

The Beard softens coarse beard hair, conditions the skin underneath, reduces itchiness and keeps your beard looking defined and healthy all day. No greasy residue. No heavy fragrance.

How do I use The Beard?

Apply 2 to 3 drops to your palms. Work through the beard from root to tip. Massage into the skin underneath. Style as usual. Use daily for best results.

Will beard oil make my beard softer?

Yes. Coarse, wiry beard hair is usually dry hair. Beard hair is thicker than the hair on your head and the skin underneath produces less oil than your scalp does, so the strands dry out and stiffen. The Beard conditions both the hair and the skin beneath it, which is what softens the beard and stops the itch. Most men notice a difference within the first week of daily use.

Can I use The Beard on my head hair?

The Beard is formulated specifically for facial hair. For head hair, use The Formula. They are built with different formulations for different purposes.

Will The Beard help my beard grow?

The Beard conditions and nourishes, which creates a healthy environment for growth. For targeted growth we also recommend The Formula on your scalp, since overall hair health supports beard health too.

How long does one bottle of The Beard last?

A 1oz bottle used daily lasts approximately 4 to 6 weeks, depending on beard length and how much you apply.
