After 20 plus years as a hairstylist, I believe that healthy hair starts at the root and beautiful hair is simply the result.

Blended by hand, in small batches.

The ritual

  1. 1

    Part

    Part dry hair and apply several droppers directly to the scalp.

  2. 2

    Massage

    Massage in with your fingertips or a scalp brush — slowly. It’s the best part. This may stimulate blood flow to the scalp.

  3. 3

    Smooth through

    Warm a few more drops between your palms and smooth them through the mid-lengths and ends, for a soft, glossy finish.

  4. 4

    Wash out

    Shampoo and condition as normal. Once a week is plenty.
