The Pre-Wash Ritual

How to use your FaRizz Hair Oil

About ten minutes, two or three times a week. The oil does its work before you wash, not after.

The ritual

  1. Start with dry hair. Brush out tangles. Section your hair into 4–6 parts so you can reach the scalp.
  2. Apply to the scalp. Run the dropper along each part line until the scalp is lightly coated. Longer or thicker hair will need a little more.
  3. Massage for about 4 minutes. Use your fingertips or a soft scalp massager, in small circles, front to back. This spreads the oil across the scalp rather than leaving it sitting on your hair.
  4. Work the rest through. Smooth what's left on your hands down the lengths and ends.
  5. Leave it on. 30 minutes at minimum, or overnight with a towel or old pillowcase underneath.
  6. Wash out with shampoo. Oil needs shampoo to lift it. If hair still feels oily, shampoo a second time.

Make step 3 easier with a scalp massager

Fingertips work fine. A scalp massager reaches through thick hair more easily and spreads the oil more evenly. Pick the style that suits you:

  • Manual silicone brush — soft bristles, inexpensive, rinses clean. Also handy in the shower when you wash the oil out.
  • Electric massager — does the work for you; nice for longer or overnight sessions.
  • Oil applicator massager — pour the oil into it and it delivers oil straight to the scalp as you massage.
