Why does Essence of Sulphur scalp oil contain sulphur, and does it smell?

Essence of Sulphur scalp oil uses a highly refined, deodorised grade of sulphur powder blended with lightweight, nourishing botanical oils in a cosmetic scalp-conditioning formula. The finished scent comes from the blend as a whole. Check the ingredients list, especially if you are sensitive to some scents.

However, pure sulphur has a strong natural smell but it doesn't linger after washing or used in small quantities as a leave on.

If you are worried about the smell, use it as a spot care treatment, thus getting all the benefits without the smell.

How often should I use Essence of Sulphur scalp oil?

Follow the directions on your product label, applying only the recommended amount.

Use Essence of Sulphur scalp oil 3-5 times per week for the first two weeks, then 2-3 times per week for maintenance.

Use as a pre-shampoo scalp treatment, leaving it on for 30 minutes to 1 hour before washing or apply overnight and wash in the morning. 

Applying more frequeutly than recommended doesnt guarantee better results.

Results and scalp comfort vary from person to person.

Stop using if irritation occurs.

 

Will Essence of Sulphur scalp oil make my hair greasy?

Applying too much scalp oil can leave your hair feeling greasy. Start with the amount recommended on your product label and focus on applying it to the scalp rather than coating the hair lengths.

How the oil feels will depend on your hair type, amount used and your washing routine.

Can I use Essence of Sulphur scalp oil on colour-treated hair or a sensitive scalp?

Essence of Sulphur is formulated to be gentle and is free from silicones and parabens.

It is designed for use in a wide range of hair types, including colour-treated and chemically-treated hair. 

If you have a sensitive scalp, allergies or a skin condition, please patch test first and check the ingredient list before use.

If you have colour-treated hair, ask your hair stylist if your treatments are safe to use alongside sulphur.

Do not apply to broken or irritated scalp.

 

How do I patch test Essence of Sulphur scalp oil?

Before first use, follow the patch-test instructions.

Check the full ingredients list and do not use if you know you are allergic to any ingredient.

Shake the bottle to mix the sulphur sediments and apply a small amount on the inner elbow or behind the ear.

Wait for at least 24 hours without washing off the area.

If no rritation, redness, or discomfort occurs you are good to go.

Stop using if any reaction occurs.

Why is scalp care important in a hair care routine?

Scalp care helps you look after the skin beneath your hair.

Think of the scalp as the soil, and the follicle and strand as the plant.

A consistent routine includes cleansing away product buildup and choosing products suited for your scalp's needs.

Essence of Sulphur can be used as a conditioning step, following teh directions on the label.

It firmly stands by scalp first, hair follows, and the products are formulated on this standard.  

How long does it take to see results from Essence of Sulphur scalp oil?

Results vary from person to person.

Essence of Sulphur scalp oil is intended to condition the scalp as part of your hair care routine, rather than deliver results within a guaranteed timeframe. 

Consistency is key, and what matters most.

Follow the directions on your product label and avoid applying more than recommended.

Hair growth and scalp health are a journey, not an overnight miracle.

Is Essence of Sulphur scalp oil a treatment for hair loss or dandruff?

Essence of Sulphur is a cosmetic scalp oil designed to nourish and condition the scalp as part of your hair care routine, not a treatment for hair loss or dandruff.

 If you are experiencing persistent irritation or hair loss, speak to a pharmacist or health care professional.
