PROTOCOLS FOR SCALP CLEANSING + CONSERVING SUDS
Using the applicator for shampoo helps maximize the cleanse while conserving product.
Protocol - Shampoo: Squeeze your favorite Living Libations shampoo into the applicator tube, then add an ounce of water and shake. Squeeze the diluted mixture directly onto the scalp and lather those suds. The precise application helps conserve suds and ensures the cleansing action targets debris and residue right at the root, knowing that it’s the scalp that truly needs the cleanse—not the hair strands.
Protocol - Conditioning Rinse: This tool is also wonderful for creating a conditioning rinse. Add a dollop of our Honey Myrtle, Shine On, or Calendula Comfort Conditioners, mix with water, and squeeze directly onto the scalp for ideal distribution.
Protocol - Toner: Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a time-tested scalp and hair toner. Dilute ACV by 50% with water, apply under the shower, and massage into the scalp for clarifying and cuticle-smoothing benefits.
NOURISHMENT + OPENING PORES
For deep conditioning and treatment, the applicator is an essential conduit for delivering a direct dose of nutrient-rich oils.
Protocol - Hair + Scalp Oil: Oiling the scalp is spa-like sustenance the day/night before washing. Fill the tube with Crowning Glory, Scalp Tonic, or even your favorite Best Skin Ever and run the comb applicator while gently squeezing the oil. For enhanced absorption, shake in a little water. This action helps open the doors of pores and lubricate the skin, allowing the oil to spread evenly and deeply to the hair follicle.
Protocol - Rosemary Tonic: This non-lipid tonic is awesome after freshly cleansing the scalp and before hair dries. Add ten drops of our organic Rosemary Essential Oil, or Lymph Tonic essence to a tablespoon of water, shake, and apply. This brings in the beauty of Rosemary’s tonic for scalp stimulation and clarity without adding lipid oils.
HAIR ROOT APPLICATOR FAQs
1. Why is targeted application so important for scalp health?
This tool is essential for clearing the barrier created by modern hair care. The root cause: many conventional shampoos and styling products leave behind a stubborn, synthetic residue that clings to the scalp’s stratum corneum. This daily buildup blocks pores and suffocates hair follicles. The Hair Root Applicator is the simple, essential tool for clearing away that residue, allowing the scalp biome to thrive and hair to flourish unhindered.
2. Can I use this applicator for both my shampoo and my oils?
Yes, absolutely. The applicator is designed for dual-purpose use. It ensures that your diluted shampoo mixture cleanses debris right at the root, and it acts as an essential conduit for deep conditioning oils or serums, guaranteeing even distribution right to the follicle for maximum nourishment.
3. Does the applicator save product?
Yes. The silicone squeeze mechanism and fine-tipped fork deliver product precisely where it is needed—the scalp and root—instead of on the strands. The tool also allows you to dilute your shampoo with water inside the tube, helping you conserve suds and product volume significantly.
