Hair Tips

Small changes to how you handle your hair can help reduce unnecessary pulling, tangling, and breakage.

Avoid Brushing Whenever Possible

Avoid using hairbrushes as much as possible! Brushes can pull on the hair, worsen breakage, and remove strands that may already be loose.

Instead, use your fingers to gently separate larger knots and tangles, working gradually from the ends upward. Your hair does not need to be perfectly tangle-free—a few small tangles are better than forcing a brush through them. A detangling spray can also provide additional slip and make stubborn knots easier to loosen.

Reducing unnecessary brushing can limit preventable breakage and pulling. Over time, this can help you retain more of your hair and give new growth the opportunity to remain healthy and intact.

Keep Hair Down While Shampooing

When shampooing, leave your hair hanging down rather than piling or scrunching it on top of your head. Gently work the shampoo into your scalp while keeping the lengths relatively straight. This can help prevent unnecessary tangling during washing.

Apply Conditioner to the Lengths and Ends

Use only as much conditioner as your hair needs, concentrating it on the mid-lengths and ends rather than the scalp. This helps condition drier areas without weighing down the roots.

Apply Hair Oil Gently

When using Hair Oil Reserve Signature Oil, apply two to three dropperfuls across the scalp and gently spread the oil with your fingertips. Avoid vigorous scalp massage, particularly if you are currently experiencing increased shedding, as forceful rubbing can pull on already-loose strands.

Use the oil two to three times per week and leave it on for at least 45 minutes, but no longer than two hours, before shampooing.

Give Your Routine Time

You may notice added softness and shine within the first few uses. Changes in the appearance of thickness or new growth take longer (typically 2 months) and vary from person to person, so consistency over several months is important.

Consider Your Overall Health

Hair oil works best as one part of a broader hair-care and wellness routine. Low iron and low vitamin D contribute to shedding and cannot be corrected by a topical oil alone. If you are low on Iron and/or Vitamin D, speak with a healthcare professional to ensure that the nutritional deficiencies are fixed.
