You may need to play around with the number of drops depending on hair length and texture, but always remember to start with less than what you think you need because you can always add more if needed.

This SAVED my skin. I'm from upstate New York, so my skin really took a hit this winter in combo with my Curology treatment which speeds cell turnover causing me a lot of dryness and irritation this dry season. I had no moisture whatsoever, yet I was still breaking out so I couldn't stop the Curolo...

Wanted to love it
Warning this is long and detailed! A little background before I get into the nitty gritty. Skip to the fifth paragraph, Monday, if it's not your thing: A. I love TO products and NEVER had an issue with any skincare product I've tried. B. Squalane is a hydrogenated oil and should NOT oxidize. This...

Great for fine frizzy hair
I got this serum a while back and used it on my face. I can't remember what I thought of it for that purpose but I started using it on damp and dry hair and it's truly a game changer. I have a lot of fine frizzy hair that breaks easily and lacks movement. Adding a couple drops to damp hair has helped so much. I also add a few drops and put it on my ends so my hair isn't so fluffy. I highly recommend.
Makes me glow
Im in my 40's minimal signs of aging so far. I use this oil at th end of my routine to seal everything in. When i first started using it years ago i would get so many compliments i started giving it out at gift….. saw reviews saying its too "oily"…. Well its literally an oil so dont give it a bad review because you dont like oil….. just may idk dont buy it?
i would maybe buy this again
it was okay made my face very oily but DO NOT use it everyday!
great for dry winter skin
i add three drops to enough facial moisturizer to cover my face and neck. it's a perfect boost for dry, wind-chapped skin in the winter. it's medium-weight and feels a little dewy. no residue or stickiness, no irritation or clogged pores. just comfort and relief from tightness and dullness. i don't love it in my hair. i have mid-back length 2A hair that's gotten very coarse, as it's about 60-70% gray. the oil just kind of sits on the hair rather than absorbing in.
The best face oil
Affordable and works wonderful on my dehydrated skin. This is probably my 8th bottle. Use it after moisturizer and you will get supple, glowing skin.
