This formula was created by a holistic, licensed cosmetologist (hi, it’s me 👋🏼) who understands both scalp biology and holistic, root-cause wellness. This is a robust formula that includes a blend of cold-pressed, organic base oils along with 7 potent essential oils chosen for their proven ability to support circulation, reduce inflammation, nourish the follicles, and prolong the growth phase. All without fillers, synthetics, or cheap carrier oils. It’s potent, clean, and designed to work.

While both products support a healthy scalp and healthier-looking hair, they serve different purposes and work best together as part of a complete routine.

Activate Scalp Serum is a lightweight, water-based daily, leave-in scalp serum designed to deliver concentrated active ingredients directly to the scalp without leaving the hair oily or greasy.

Nourish Scalp Oil is a nutrient-rich pre-wash scalp oil designed to deeply nourish the scalp, restore the scalp barrier, soften buildup, support circulation and encourage healthy hair cycles.

Nourish prepares the foundation. Activate supports performance. Nourish replenishes the scalp. Activate energizes it.

Not necessarily. Each product can absolutely be used on its own depending on your scalp and hair goals. However, the products were intentionally formulated to work synergistically as a complete system.

Nourish is best for soothing, balancing & deeply nourishing the scalp to create an environment where healthy hair can grow (think: cultivating healthy, nutrient-rich soil.)

Activate is best for driving growth and minimizing excess thinning and shedding through clinically backed actives (think: fertilizer)

Some people may need deep scalp nourishment and barrier support while supporting healthy hair cycles. Others may be looking for intensive, daily support and maximum growth for their already-primed scalp.

Most people will find they need support in both areas. Think of Nourish as your deep-conditioning scalp treatment, while Activate is your daily lightweight but intensive scalp support. Using both together as part of the Scalp Renewal System helps address multiple aspects of scalp wellness for a more complete approach to healthy hair.

Your scalp is living tissue, just like soil for a plant. When it is depleted, dry and inflamed, it will not be suitable for growing healthy hair. Conversely, when the scalp is nourished, hydrated and balanced, hair grows thicker, shinier, stronger & more resilient!

Completely. There is nothing synthetic  including fragrances, silicones, mineral oils, parabens, or fillers. Just high-quality, plant-based ingredients.

Consistency is key! You’ll want to use it on wash days before shampooing. (About 1-3x per week.)

At least 30 minutes before washing, but around 4 hours is ideal. You can wear it overnight if you don't already have a lot of product or build up on your scalp.

Less than you think! Think about how little of product you need to cover the surface area of your face - it’s not a lot! You’ll need to be a little heavier handed because you will get some absorption from your roots. I think of my scalp in quadrants and use 1 dropper full per section. It ends up being about 2.5ml of product.

If you follow my quadrant method and use roughly 2.5ml of product at a time, once a week, the 60ml bottle will last you about 6 months! If you do it twice a week, then it will last roughly 3 months, etc.

That will yield the best results, but you can absolutely target problem areas in between full-scalp treatments!

Results vary from person to person since hair health is influenced by many internal and external factors.

Many people will see an improved scalp in as little as 1 use. Within 1-4 weeks, many will notice improvements in scalp balance and hydration. Visible improvements in fullness and reduced shedding may take 6–12 weeks of consistent, daily use. (For maximum results, pair with scalp brushing and Activate daily peptide scalp serum.)

Absolutely. Whether your hair is straight, wavy, curly, coily, thick, fine, oily, or dry, our scalps all need this foundational care. Since this is meant to be washed out, it shouldn’t impact styling (aside from maybe reducing frizz if you comb through the ends because it protects against over-stripping the hair while washing!)

Yes. Though the essential oils are very potent, they are formulated in a very safe ratio in a base of thick, gentle oils. These base oils actually create the perfect environment for soothing sensitive scalps! You can, of course, do a small test area to be sure.

Yes. Nourish is specifically designed to support a healthier, more balanced scalp, which can significantly help with dryness and flaking over time.

Dry scalp and flakes are often a sign that the scalp barrier is disrupted or that there’s a lack of natural oils and moisture balance. Nourish helps by delivering nutrient-rich botanical oils that soften dryness, calm irritation, and support a healthier scalp environment.

Ingredients like jojoba, castor, and other plant oils help mimic the scalp’s natural sebum, while essential oils such as tea tree and rosemary support a cleaner, more balanced scalp microbiome.

If flakes are persistent, inflamed, or suspected to be related to conditions like eczema or psoriasis, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider alongside your routine.

Nope! It will be oily while it is in your hair, of course. But it is meant to be washed out and should not impact your dry hair. I do, however recommend double shampooing to ensure this!

Yes. It’s color-safe and non-stripping. In fact, since healthy hair grows from a healthy scalp, this oil will actually help grow stronger hair that can better withstand chemical treatments.

There are no ingredients in this formula commonly considered contraindicated for pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, because every pregnancy and postpartum journey is unique, we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.

A note on peppermint essential oil: there are occasional anecdotal concerns about heavy peppermint use and milk supply, but evidence is limited and inconsistent. The amount used in this formula is very low and applied topically to the scalp.

As a mom of 4 with over a decade of experience & education in essential oils, I have never seen pure peppermint oil affect milk supply for me or anyone I’ve worked with. As always, monitor your body and adjust use if needed.

Inflammation interferes with follicle function and can trigger shedding. It is a very common root-cause of hair loss which is why several ingredients target inflammation.

Yes, it can help! Postpartum shedding is largely driven by hormonal shifts and nutritional deficiencies after pregnancy. While supporting the body internally through nutrition and overall wellness is important, topical scalp support can also help create a healthier scalp environment and encourage stronger, fuller hair during the postpartum transition. This formula helps prolong the growth phase (which is what happens during pregnancy, giving you those full & luscious locks!)

Similarly to postpartum concerns, hormonal hair loss can have many contributing factors including stress, nutrition, inflammation, hormones, and genetics. However, the scalp can still be supported topically. Especially in regard to the hormone, DHT. Elevated levels lead to thinning/shedding, which is why several ingredients work to prevent excess DHT build up around the follicles.

Yes! Both men and women can both benefit from this type of scalp support. While there can be many factors, male pattern hair loss is often associated with DHT sensitivity. Several ingredients in this formula were specifically chosen to help reduce DHT buildup on the scalp.

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is a hormone naturally produced by the body. While DHT itself isn’t “bad,” some hair follicles are more sensitive to it than others. Over time, excess DHT can contribute to follicles shrinking which overtime, can make them fall dormant. It can also decrease the growth phase and increase the shedding phase. This can cause new hair to grow in thinner and shorter.

Certain ingredients in this formula may help reduce excess DHT buildup around the scalp and follicles. This does not stop your body from producing DHT systemically — the support is localized to the scalp environment.

Yes! Nourish can absolutely be used alongside minoxidil and other scalp or hair growth treatments. You may even choose to use Nourish to help support overall scalp health while using active growth products.

Because Nourish is an oil-based pre-wash treatment, we recommend using it separately from leave-in treatments like minoxidil:

- Apply Nourish before wash day and rinse thoroughly

- Apply minoxidil or other leave-in treatments to a clean, dry scalp afterward according to their directions

If you are using prescription treatments, it’s always a good idea to patch test first or check with your dermatologist.

Nourish oil is designed to be scalp-focused and should not loosen properly installed hand-tied wefts, sew-ins, braids, or most extension methods when used correctly. However, because this is an oil-based treatment, we recommend avoiding direct application on adhesive bonds, tape-ins, keratin bonds and glue points.

Oil can weaken certain adhesives over time, so apply Nourish directly to the scalp between sections or rows.
