What's in the box: The Thirsty Hair Kit [THK] includes three items: the oil blend, a scalp roller (0.50mm needle size), and a scalp applicator (6 - 10 ml size).
Maintenance: Make sure to clean both the scalp applicator and the scalp roller prior to each use. Residue can clog the tools causing it to not work effectively.
Important: When using the scalp roller, please follow the video instructions carefully (QR code below or our YouTube channel). Improper technique can cause damage. scalp rolling opens pores in the epidermis layer, enhancing absorption of the oil blend into the hair strands and shafts. This tool plays a vital role in promoting hair growth and reducing shedding. Use the scalp roller perpendicular to each parting line. Use medium to light pressure—gently move the roller back and forth without pressing too hard.
To use the oil blend: Gently shake the bottle back and forth before each use! This step is VERY important. Since the ingredients vary in density, some oils may settle at the bottom. Dispense approximately 6ml—or your desired amount—into the scalp applicator. Apply to the scalp with light pressure to dispense and evenly distribute the oil. Leave the oil on your scalp for 6 to 8 hours and cover with a shower cap. Avoid leaving it overnight, as excess oil can weaken hair strands and lead to build up and fallout. Wash it out using a mild shampoo.
Other: For best results, use a deep conditioner the following day—some oils may cause dryness, which is normal.
A tingling sensation may occur, which is a normal reaction. This is due to the open pores and the deep penetration of the oils. The sensation is temporary and should gradually fade.
Please note that some oils used in the Thirsty Hair formula are highly potent and may have stronger, more noticeable scents.
Should you have any concerns about the ingredients, it is recommended that you consult your physician prior to use.
Results take time: Some users may notice thicker, more hydrated hair and new growth in about a month, while others may need 3 months or more. Stay consistent for the best outcome.
