Tips for Safe and Effective Use
Start with weekly application to avoid overstressing follicles.
Choose organic, 100% natural oils free from artificial fragrances or alcohol.
Patch-test for sensitivity behind the ear for 24 hours before full use.
Massage gently with fingertips to stimulate circulation without pulling hair.
Avoid heat styling immediately after oil treatments; let hair dry naturally.
Wash thoroughly after each treatment to prevent residue buildup.
Support hair growth from within with vitamin- and protein-rich foods (fish, nuts, leafy greens).
Consult your doctor or dermatologist before starting any new natural routine.
These natural oils and masks offer a gentle yet effective way for cancer survivors to restore hair health, density, and shine while regaining confidence.
