Suggested use (quick steps)
- Begin with clean, towel-dried hair. Apply a light layer of oil (your preferred carrier oil) to help distribute and protect strands.
- Add a measured amount of the Melanin treatment and work it evenly from roots to ends. Combed-through coverage gives best results.
- Blow dry on a low–medium setting to help the product set into the hair shaft and encourage curl formation.
- If desired, apply a small additional amount of oil, then blow dry again to seal and smooth the hair surface.
- Allow the treatment to remain in the hair for up to 3 hours for conditioning and styling benefits; routine users should stay under 3 hours. (Do not exceed 12 hours.)
- Rinse thoroughly and wash with shampoo and conditioner—preferably natural, gentle formulations—then style as usual.
Usage tips
- For best cosmetic results, repeat the treatment periodically rather than relying on a single application.
- If you’re seeking a deeper, richer look, it may take multiple bottles and repeated use over several weeks for gradual, cumulative change to appear; product is formulated primarily to nourish and enhance hair appearance, not as a dye.
- For wavy and curly hair types, using a high-quality ionic or “bionic” diffuser after application can visually boost curl definition, bounce, and volume.
- The natural botanical ingredients may have a noticeable scent. If you prefer, you can pair the treatment with a lightly scented carrier oil or finishing product to balance the natural aroma.
- Always perform a patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin or scalp.
What to expect
Melanin-based treatments contain a mix of molecular sizes; larger pigment polymers and smaller fragments interact differently with hair fibers and surrounding ions. When used with heat or a diffuser, these interactions can visually enhance the curl pattern, giving many users the appearance of more defined, energized curls with added lift and character. Any change in tone or texture from repeated use is gradual and variable from person to person. The product’s primary purpose is cosmetic enhancement and conditioning of hair’s look and feel, not permanent color change or any kind of medical or therapeutic treatment.
