The essence is a daily treatment so you can use it 7 days a week on the areas you want to address. For best results, apply the essence to a clean scalp, similar to how you would use a skincare serum. Ensuring your scalp is free from oils, old skin cells, dust, and styling products will help the essence penetrate effectively. Even if you don't wash your hair every day, it's still beneficial to apply the essence daily. The formula absorbs quickly and won't leave any residue, so you don’t need to worry about buildup.

No, you do not need to wash out the essence. In fact, it's designed to stay on your scalp, much like a face serum. You should apply it and let it absorb and work its magic. You can use the essence after your shower, or on days you don't wash your hair. Apply it directly to the areas of concern.

The essence quickly absorbs into the scalp and doesn't leave any residue, so it won't interfere with your Color Shampoo or other hair treatments. The essence is meant to stay on the scalp and not be washed off. Think of it like a face serum but for your scalp.

Results differ greatly from person to person depending on their current scalp and hair condition as well as how quickly your hair grows and your scalp turnover rate - for most,, the natural turnover rate is about 3 months. Because the product aims to address the 'root' of the problem by creating an ideal environment for healthy, natural hair growth, it will take some time for your natural hair and scalp to fully transform.

For most, you should start to see results within 3 months but for some, it can take as long as 5 - 6 months.

Each bottle, depending on how large the application area is, can last from 2 - 3 months. 

The Essence works by stabilizing / regulating your hair cycle so that you can grow strong, healthier hair that has the ability to fully mature without falling out before it is meant to (when new hair comes in). The usual, healthy hair cycle is about 3 months. SO, depending on your health and foods you eat, etc. it can be as quick as 2-3 months before hairs start falling out again prematurely OR later. 

Please note that because the hair cycle is about 3 months, it will take consistent use over these months to really see results. Each bottle, depending on how large the application area is, can last 2 - 3 months. 

The statement, "2x the efficacy of Minoxidil" specifically refers to the core Redensyl ingredient in the product. Redensyl which is a complex blend of Japanese Larch Cone Extract (Pine extract), Tea Leaf Extract, Glycine, and Zinc, is considered an effective, natural alternative to Minoxidil and recognized for its effectiveness in promoting the regrowth of healthy, strong hair and in preventing hair thinning and loss.

The assertion for it's efficacy is based on research studies done by the Swiss company, Induchem, that originally developed Redensyl.

Their studies showed that after 10 days of use, Redensyl increased hair growth by +214% while Minoxidil was by +118% when compared against those who were untreated.

Our Hair Essence also blends other hair nourishing & fortifying ingredients to further support the work of Redensyl and to create a healthy scalp environment for the longterm beauty of your hair.

Keeping your scalp healthy is essential for maintaining healthy hair and preventing various hair and scalp issues. The scalp is the foundation of healthy hair growth and plays a crucial role in hair health. A healthy scalp promotes healthy hair growth by providing the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. It also keeps the hair follicles clean and free of debris, which can lead to hair loss and other scalp problems. A healthy scalp is also essential for preventing dandruff, itching, and dryness, which can cause discomfort and embarrassment. By maintaining good scalp health through proper nutrition, hydration, and regular cleansing, you can promote healthy hair growth and prevent a wide range of scalp problems.

As per the directions above, don't use your nails when you are doing the massage. Make sure you are massaging with your finger tips. Also, instead of "rubbing" the scalp, the ideal motion may feel like you are "moving" the scalp a little bit as you massage the head. If you hold a lot of tension in your head or have high levels of stress, you may find that this is hard to do - which means that you need the scalp & head massage all the more!

Scalp massage is a great way to promote scalp health and improve hair growth. Massaging the scalp increases blood circulation to the hair follicles, which delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to promote healthy hair growth. It also helps to remove any buildup of dead skin cells or excess oil that can clog hair follicles and inhibit hair growth. Scalp massage also promotes relaxation and reduces stress, which can contribute to hair loss. Additionally, massaging the scalp can stimulate the production of sebum, a natural oil that lubricates and protects the hair and scalp. It also helps to improve the overall texture and appearance of the hair, making it look shinier and healthier. Regular scalp massage, done with gentle pressure using the fingertips, can have a significant impact on scalp health and hair growth over time.
