The method

How to use Zelvo Herbal Hair Oil

Ten minutes of work, an hour of waiting, twice a week. That is the whole routine.

How do you apply Zelvo hair oil?

Warm 2–3 teaspoons in your palms, part your hair into sections and massage the oil into the scalp with your fingertips for five minutes, then draw what is left through the mid-lengths and ends. Leave it on for at least an hour — overnight is better — then shampoo twice with lukewarm water. Repeat twice a week. Apply before washing, never after.

  1. 1

    Warm a little in your palms

    Take 2–3 teaspoons for shoulder-length hair. Rub between your palms for a few seconds — body heat is enough, do not heat the bottle.

  2. 2

    Work it into the scalp first

    Part your hair in sections and massage the oil into the scalp with your fingertips, not your nails. Five minutes of slow circles is the whole technique.

  3. 3

    Draw the rest down the lengths

    Run whatever is left on your hands through mid-lengths and ends, concentrating on the last four inches where hair is oldest and driest.

  4. 4

    Leave it on, then wash

    One hour is enough. Overnight is better if you can — braid it or wrap it in a cotton scarf. Shampoo twice with lukewarm water to rinse cleanly.

  5. 5

    Repeat twice a week

    Consistency is the active ingredient. Twice a week for eight weeks will tell you far more than a single dramatic application.

Three mistakes worth avoiding

Oiling after you wash. This is the most common one, and it undoes the point. The mechanism — limiting how much water the hair shaft absorbs and swells — only works if the oil is on before the water. Oil applied afterwards is a styling product, not a treatment.

Scrubbing with your nails. Vigorous scratching feels productive and does real damage. Use the pads of your fingers with light pressure and slow circles. Five minutes is enough.

Leaving it on for days. An hour does almost all the work and overnight does the rest. Beyond that you are just wearing a dirty scalp, and the extra washing you will need to remove it costs you more than the extra hours gained.

Usage questions

How often should I use it?

Twice a week, before you wash. Leave it on for at least an hour, or overnight if you can. Give it a full eight weeks before you judge the results — hair grows about a centimetre a month, so anything faster than that is not really the oil.

Do I leave it in or wash it out?

Wash it out. Zelvo is a pre-wash treatment, not a leave-in serum. Shampoo twice with lukewarm water — the first wash lifts the oil, the second cleans the scalp.

How much oil should I use, and how long does a bottle last?

Two to three teaspoons for shoulder-length hair, a little more if your hair is long or very thick. Used twice a week, a 120ml bottle lasts about five weeks and a 300ml bottle about twelve.

My scalp is already oily. Should I still oil it?

Yes, but change the technique: apply mainly to the mid-lengths and ends, use half the quantity on the scalp, and keep it on for an hour rather than overnight. An oily scalp is often a scalp that is over-washed and compensating.
