How long does shipping take?
We work hard to get your order to you as quickly as possible. Typically, we dispatch your items within one to two days after your order is placed. While this can occasionally take a bit longer during our busiest periods, most orders are delivered within a week—and sometimes even sooner.
Are there any side effects?
While these ingredients are all organic and chosen for their gentle, nourishing properties, it’s possible for some individuals to experience allergic reactions when trying new products. We recommend performing a small patch test on your skin before full use to ensure you don’t have any adverse reactions.
How long will it take to see visible results?
Results can vary, as they depend on factors such as your diet, lifestyle, and how frequently you use the hair oil. We recommend applying it two to three times a week. Many clients start noticing positive changes after one month, though every individual is different, and more significant improvements are typically observed after two to three months of consistent use.
