APPLYING OIL CORRECTLY
Massage oil into your scalp, focusing on the roots, to stimulate hair growth and nourish your locks.
LEAVING OIL

WASHING OIL
Use a gentle shampoo and warm water to wash out oil, ensuring a thorough cleanse without stripping your hair of its natural oils.
HAIR TYPE
Customise your overnight oiling routine based on your hair type – dry, oily, or combination – for optimal results.
