Camille’s 10-Minute Clean Styling Protocol
To use, start with a gentle sulfate-free shampoo to remove buildup without stripping your scalp’s natural oils. After towel-drying your hair, part it into sections and apply the serum directly to your scalp using a dropper or pipette. Massage with your fingertips in small, circular motions for two to three minutes—this stimulates circulation and helps the serum absorb. Leave it on overnight or for at least 30 minutes before styling; there’s no need to rinse.
For best results, apply the serum three times a week, ideally in the evening so it can work while you sleep. If you have a particularly itchy flare-up, you can use it nightly for the first week, then taper off to maintenance. I always suggest pairing this with a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and keep the serum on your scalp rather than your pillow.
