How it works
Step 1 Prepare
Brush or detangle your hair gently to remove any knots and loosen buildup around the scalp. This helps the oil absorb evenly.
Step 2 Section the Hair
Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or fingers. This ensures the oil is distributed from root to tip.
Step 3 Warm the Oil (Optional)
Warm a small amount of Elixir by Zayt between your palms or place the bottle in warm water for a few minutes or heat for 10 seconds. Slightly warming the oil boosts penetration and enhances the aromatic experience.
Step 4: Scalp Application
Using your fingertips and palms apply small amounts directly onto your scalp. Massage gently in circular motions for 3 - 5 minutes to stimulate blood circulation and nutrient delivery to the follicles.
Step 5 Mid-Lengths and Ends
Rub a few drops between your hands and smooth the oil through the mid-lengths and ends. Focus on dry or damaged areas.
Step 6 Leave to Nourish
For a deep treatment, leave the oil on for at least 1 hour or overnight under a silk bonnet or towel. For a light treatment, leave it for 30 minutes before washing.
Step 7 Rinse and Style
Wash with a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and condition as usual. Style as desired. You can also apply 1–2 drops to dry hair as a finishing oil for shine and frizz control.
💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Results
Pre-Wash Ritual:
Apply Elixir to dry hair before shampooing to protect against moisture loss during washing - especially beneficial for bleached or frizz-prone hair.
Overnight Repair Treatment:
For maximum nourishment, apply generously before bed and wrap hair in a silk scarf. Rinse out in the morning for deeply revitalised strands.
Protection Before Styling:
Before blow-drying or heat styling, apply 2–3 drops to damp hair to create a protective barrier against thermal stress.
Leave-In Shine Finisher:
For glossy, frizz-free results, smooth a small amount over the ends after styling - a lightweight alternative to silicone serums.
Consistency is Key:
Use 2-3 times per week for visible transformation in texture, shine, and overall scalp health within 8-12 weeks as per the hair cycle.
Combine with Hair Wellness:
Pair with a balanced diet, hydration, and gentle detangling habits for long-term strength and vitality.
