Hair growth essences are applied in several ways, depending on the specific product. Generally, they aim to nourish the scalp and hair follicles to stimulate growth.
Methods of Application
Here are some common methods for applying hair growth essence, based on the provided references:
-
Mixing with Shampoo or Moisturizer: Some essences, like Andrea™ Hair Growth Essence, are diluted with shampoo or moisturizer. For sensitive skin, mix 3ml of essence with 100ml of shampoo/moisturizer, massage into the scalp, leave for a few minutes, and rinse. (Reference: Sensitive skin: Mix 3 milliliters of Andrea™ Hair Growth Essence with 100ml of moisturizer/shampoo and massage into the desired area. Leave in for a few minutes and rinse with water.) Other products suggest mixing 4-6 drops with shampoo and massaging into the scalp for 3 minutes. (References: Amazon product listings for Andrea Hair Growth Essence)
-
Direct Application to Clean Scalp: Many essences are applied directly to a clean, dry scalp. This method mimics the application of a skincare serum. It's crucial to ensure the scalp is free from oils, dead skin cells, and dust for optimal absorption. (Reference: KIWABI Scalp Massage Hair Essence Serum)
-
Combined with Other Hair Products: Some brands recommend using their essence in conjunction with other products in their line. For example, Monnali's GROW PRO Hair Growth Essence is best used after applying their CLEAN Mist Scalp Moisturiser. (Reference: Monnali's Black Series Hair Restoration Treatment)
-
Massaging for Better Absorption: Regardless of the application method, massaging the essence into the scalp is crucial for improved absorption and stimulation of hair follicles. (Reference: I honestly think the massaging of the product is what helps hair growth the most so I give myself a really good scalp massage when using it.)
Important Considerations
- Follow Product Instructions: Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your chosen hair growth essence. Application methods and recommended usage may vary.
- Consistency is Key: For optimal results, most essences require consistent use over a period of 30-60 days or longer.
