Lava Cap Haircare FAQs

Hair Oil FAQs 🧴

• HOW DO I USE A HAIR OIL?

  Our hair oils are extremely versatile and can be used in different ways depending on the amount used and length of application
  
  

  • Daily Moisture Sealer: with a few drops on fingertips, apply to the tips and the lengths of your lightly damp hair (spritz hair with a water-based mist or leave-in conditioner). Adjust amount for hair length. Perfect for the LOC (liquid, oil and cream) or LOCG (liquid, oil, cream and gel) methods
  • Pre-poo Treatment: perfect for curls and wavy hair to counteract the dehydrating effects of shampoo, apply from roots to ends on dry hair before cleansing. Leave in for 30 minutes or overnight then wash and style as usual
  • Overnight Mask: apply generously to hair and scalp, massage gently and then wrap hair with a waterproof cap, securing this with a Lava Cap (heated or not) or a scarf, bonnet or durag and leave overnight. Follow up with your washday routine the following morning.
  • After Shampooing: warm oil in hands and apply to damp, towel-dried hair. Comb through and then dry and style as desired.

• HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE MY HAIR OIL?

  Your hair will benefit from regular & consistent use of hair oils. By adjusting the amount applied you can use hair oils daily, multiple times a week, weekly and each washday to help nourish hair and seal in moisture. You should determine how often you'd like to use an oil but here's a rough guide depending on the purpose.
  

  • Moisture Sealer: applied to ends to protect moisture - daily
  • Pre-poo Treatment / Hot Oil Treatment / Overnight Treatment: each washday
  • Post Shampoo Moisture Sealer: each washday

• WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT WHEN USING A HAIR OIL?

  Your hair will feel noticeably soft after a few hours of applying oil to damp hair. With regular use, the botanical actives will contribute to a healthy head and scalp system.

• SHOULD I USE A HAIR OIL TO REMEDY MY DRY, BRITTLE HAIR?

  Yes, and preferably use on damp hair e.g. towel-dried or after spritzing with a water-based mist or leave-in conditioner to enhance levels of moisture in hair. Lava Cap oils are perfect used as part of the LOC (liquid, oil and cream) or LOCG (liquid, oil, cream and gel) methods.

• HOW LONG DO LAVA CAP HAIR OILS LAST?

  How long your oil lasts will depend the usage amount and frequency of use, but with regular usage on average a 50ml bottle lasts 2-4 weeks. You can have a treatment or two and use as a regular moisture sealer

  As a rough guide, the following amounts are recommended on each application for a head of medium length/density hair:

  • Regular Moisture Sealer or Post Shampoo: divide hair into 10 sections, apply two pipette squirts to each section.This totals around 7ml of oil
  • Pre-poo Treatment or Overnight Mask: divide hair into 10 sections, apply four pipette squirts to each section.This totals around 15ml of oil
