Safety
At HE4L, your safety and satisfaction are our priorities. This product is a natural, plant-based hair care oil known for its nourishing and hair-supporting properties. As with any cosmetic product, it’s important to use it responsibly to achieve the best experience and reduce the risk of irritation or sensitivity. Please read the guidance below before use.
STEP 1 — PERFORM A PATCH TEST
Before applying the oil to your scalp or hair, we strongly recommend a patch test to check for sensitivity:
1) Choose a test area
Select a small, discreet area of skin (for example, behind the ear or along the hairline).
2) Apply a small amount
Using clean fingers or a cotton swab, apply a small amount of oil to the test area.
3) Wait 24–48 hours
Do not wash the area during this time. Monitor for any signs of sensitivity such as redness, itching, burning, swelling, or discomfort.
4) Review the result
• If you experience no irritation, it is generally safe to proceed with normal use.
• If you notice irritation or discomfort, rinse the area thoroughly with water and discontinue use. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
STEP 2 — APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Once you’ve confirmed the product is suitable for you, follow these steps for optimal use:
1) Begin with clean hair
Wash with a gentle shampoo to remove buildup. Towel-dry until damp (not soaking wet).
2) Warm the oil (optional)
For easier application, warm a small amount by rubbing it between your palms. Do not microwave.
3) Apply to scalp and hair
• Section hair for even distribution.
• Massage a small amount into the scalp using fingertips, focusing on dry areas.
• Apply the remaining oil through mid-lengths and ends, especially if hair feels dry or damaged.
4) Leave-in time
Leave on for 30 minutes to 2 hours. For a deeper treatment, you may leave it overnight and cover hair with a shower cap or towel.
5) Rinse and cleanse
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then shampoo and condition as usual to remove excess oil.
STEP 3 — FREQUENCY OF USE
• For best results, use 1–2 times per week.
• Overuse may cause buildup and greasiness. Adjust frequency based on your hair type and scalp needs.
PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
• External use only
For hair and scalp only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken or irritated skin. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Sensitivities and allergies
If you have known sensitivities to plant-based oils or similar cosmetic ingredients, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and children
If pregnant, breastfeeding, or using on a child, consult a doctor prior to use.
• Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not use if the product changes noticeably in color, texture, or smell.
• Discontinue if irritation occurs
If redness, itching, burning, or discomfort occurs during or after use, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
ADDITIONAL SAFE-USE TIPS
• Avoid heat styling immediately after use
Hair may be more vulnerable to heat damage when oil is freshly applied. Allow hair to fully air-dry, or wait before using heat tools.
• Patch test new batches
Natural products may vary slightly between batches. If you’re using a new batch, repeat a patch test.
• Existing scalp conditions
If you have a scalp condition (such as eczema, dermatitis, or psoriasis), consult a dermatologist before use.
