Preparation:
Step 1: Plan your oiling session when you have at least 2 hours before washing (or overnight). Hair regrowth oils work best with extended contact time.
Step 2: Warm the oil bottle by placing it in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Warm oil penetrates better and feels more comfortable on the scalp. Don't microwave or overheat.
Step 3: Section your hair into 4-6 parts using clips. This ensures you don't miss any areas and allows thorough scalp coverage.
Scalp Application:
Step 1: Pour a small amount of oil (about 1-2 teaspoons) into a small bowl for easy access. For short hair, use less; for long, thick hair, use more.
Step 2: Dip your fingertips into the oil and apply directly to your scalp, section by section. Focus on areas with thinning, bald patches, or excessive hair fall. Don't apply to hair lengths yet—scalp is the priority.
Step 3: Once the entire scalp is covered with oil, begin massaging. This is the most important step!
Scalp Massage Technique:
Step 1: Using your fingertips (not nails), massage in small, firm circular motions all over your scalp. Start at the front hairline and work backward.
Step 2: Apply gentle but firm pressure—you should feel the scalp moving under your fingers. This stimulates blood circulation, which is crucial for hair growth.
Step 3: Spend 10-15 minutes on this massage. Focus extra time on problem areas like the crown, temples, or any bald patches. The massage is as important as the oil itself!
Step 4: Use various techniques: circular motions, gentle pulling/tugging of hair (stimulates follicles), tapping with fingertips, and kneading motions.
Length Application:
Step 1: After massaging the scalp, take remaining oil on your palms and run through the lengths of your hair from mid-shaft to ends.
Step 2: Don't over-oil the lengths—they need less than the scalp. Just a light coating is sufficient.
Step 3: Pay extra attention to the ends, which are prone to breakage and split ends.
Waiting Period:
Step 1: Cover your hair with a shower cap or wrap in an old towel to prevent oil transfer to furniture.
Step 2: Leave on for minimum 2 hours. For intensive treatment, leave overnight (8-10 hours). The longer it stays, the better the results.
Step 3: During this time, the herbs and nutrients penetrate the scalp and strengthen follicles.
Washing:
Step 1: When ready to wash, wet your hair with warm water first. This helps emulsify the oil for easier removal.
Step 2: Apply PNKT's Herbal Shampoo Powder and massage well. You may need to shampoo twice to remove all oil—this is normal.
Step 3: Follow with PNKT's After Wash Hair Rinse for conditioning. Apply PNKT's Hair Serum to damp hair for added nourishment.
Application Schedule:
For Severe Hair Fall: Use 3-4 times weekly for the first 2 months, then reduce to 2-3 times weekly for maintenance.
For Moderate Hair Fall: Use 2-3 times weekly consistently for at least 3 months.
For Prevention/Maintenance: Use 1-2 times weekly to maintain healthy hair and prevent future hair loss.
Pro Tips:
- Consistency is more important than frequency—regular use shows better results than sporadic intensive use
- The scalp massage is crucial—don't skip it! It stimulates blood flow and activates follicles
- Use overnight for maximum benefits—the extended contact time allows deeper penetration
- Warm oil always works better than cold oil for absorption
- For best results, use alongside PNKT's Herbal Shampoo Powder (chemical shampoos can counteract benefits)
- Take photos monthly to track progress—hair growth is gradual and photos help you see changes
- Maintain a healthy diet rich in protein, iron, and vitamins for optimal hair growth
- Manage stress through yoga or meditation—stress is a major cause of hair fall
- Avoid heat styling and chemical treatments while using this oil for faster results
- Pair with weekly PNKT Hair Mask treatments for comprehensive hair care
- Store in a cool, dark place to preserve the herbal properties
- Shake well before each use to mix the herbs and oils
