When can I wash, style, or color my hair after applying the serums?Updated 2 hours ago

Washing: Allow the serums to absorb for as long as possible (ideally greater than 6 hours) or at least 60 minutes before washing your hair. This ensures that the active ingredients penetrate the scalp and follicles effectively. Washing too soon after application may reduce their effectiveness. For best results, apply the serums at night and wash your hair the following morning.

Damp hair: The serums can be applied to either dry or slightly damp hair. After washing your hair, towel-dry it gently to remove excess moisture, then apply the Prevention and Treatment serums directly to the scalp. Avoid applying to dripping-wet hair, as this can dilute the product. Allow the serums to absorb for at least 30 minutes before applying any other styling products or heat tools.

Heat styling: You may use a blow dryer on a low heat setting after application, but we recommend avoiding excessive heat (including high settings on blow dryers, curling irons, or straighteners) for about one hour, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the active ingredients. If you prefer higher-heat styling, consider applying the serums at night instead.

Coloring: The formulas are safe for color-treated hair (including Henna) and should not fade or alter your color. We recommend pausing serum use for one day before and after coloring to allow the dye to fully set. Because the Prevention serum contains vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, avoid applying it immediately after hair dyeing to prevent potential interference with the color.
