Motherhood: it’s beautiful, challenging, and, yes, sometimes utterly chaotic. Between diapers, sleepless nights, and endless to-do lists, your hair might not be at the top of your priorities. But postpartum hair loss and changes in texture can be a real struggle – and let’s be honest, sometimes you just want your hair to feel like you again.
Let’s dive into the details: why it works, how to get the best results, and how to make this self-care ritual part of your routine.
Why This Hair Oil Works So Well
Ritual Nourish isn’t just another hair oil; it’s carefully formulated with a blend of premium oils and botanical extracts specifically chosen for their hydrating, strengthening, and hair-growth-promoting properties. It goes beyond just coating your hair’s surface. With ingredients like argan and castor oils, this formula nourishes your hair follicles, promotes circulation, and hydrates your scalp without weighing it down. The rosemary extract and beta-carotene work to restore shine, volume, and resilience to your hair.
This oil is made with moms in mind, focusing on safety and effectiveness. Many essential oils, like rosemary, are often discouraged during pregnancy and breastfeeding because of their potent active compounds. That’s why we’ve opted for gentler extracts in Ritual Nourish, providing the same benefits without the risks.
Why Letting the Oil Sit is Key
When using Ritual Nourish as a deep treatment, we recommend letting it sit for at least two hours. This allows the oil to penetrate deeply, delivering essential nutrients to both your hair and scalp. Since it’s a lightweight formula, you can adjust the timing to suit your needs – you could extend to three or four hours for an extra boost.
It’s best to avoid leaving the oil on overnight, as this can actually clog hair follicles, especially with dust or particles that may collect on your pillow. Be sure to rinse the oil thoroughly before bed. Additionally, we discourage using high heat on your hair, but if drying is needed, blow-drying on a minimal heat setting at a safe 15 cm distance from your scalp is actually better than letting hair stay damp. Warm, moist environments can create conditions where fungi thrive, so it’s important to avoid leaving your hair and scalp wet for prolonged periods.
Avoid sleeping with wet hair as well, since hair is more fragile when damp and can be prone to breakage. Following these practices can help you get the most from your hair treatment, leaving your hair healthier and stronger.
Daily Use: A Subtle Strength Boost
In addition to deep conditioning, you can use Ritual Nourish daily by applying a small amount to the lengths and ends of your hair. This is especially helpful for moms dealing with fragile or breakage-prone hair. A little bit each day creates a light, protective barrier against breakage and dryness, leaving your hair looking cared for and shiny while actively building resilience.
The Power of Our Ingredients
Our formula is rich in natural oils and extracts, each serving a specific function to support your hair’s health:
- Argan Oil: Known for its hydrating and nourishing properties, argan oil strengthens and repairs hair, reducing breakage and split ends.
- Castor Oil: Stimulates hair follicles to encourage hair growth, perfect for strengthening new, fragile strands.
- Rosemary Extract: This mild extract boosts scalp circulation, creating a healthy environment for hair growth.
- Beta-Carotene and Vitamin E: These antioxidants protect against free radicals, helping to strengthen hair fibers and enhance natural shine.
Each of these ingredients works together to help rebuild and fortify your hair.
How to Use Ritual Nourish for the Best Results
1. As a Deep Scalp Treatment
For intensive care and hair restoration, Ritual Nourish works wonderfully as a deep scalp treatment. Here’s how to get the best results:
- Start with dry hair and part it into sections for easier application.
- Apply a few drops directly to your scalp using the pipette. Gently massage the oil into your scalp in circular motions – this also stimulates blood flow.
- Work any excess oil through the lengths and ends of your hair.
- Let the oil sit for at least two hours or leave it on overnight for a more intensive treatment. Rinse thoroughly in the morning and follow with your usual shampoo and conditioner routine.
For optimal results, repeat this treatment 1-3 times per week.
2. As a Post-Styling Finishing Oil
After styling, use the oil to add shine and reduce breakage:
- Take 2-3 drops of oil in your palms and warm it up by rubbing them together.
- Smooth it over the lengths and ends of your hair, focusing on the tips to prevent breakage.
- Avoid applying too much near the roots for a polished, shiny finish without greasiness.
A Moment of Self-Care
Using Ritual Nourish isn’t just about hair treatment; it’s a moment of self-care. Especially as a mom, it’s important to carve out small pockets of time just for yourself. As you gently massage this oil into your scalp, take a moment to breathe, relax, and appreciate the strength you show every day. Self-care is essential, and something as simple as caring for your hair can help you reclaim a sense of control and beauty.
Extra Tips for Moms Facing Postpartum Hair Loss
- Eat Healthily: A balanced diet is crucial for healthy hair. Make sure you’re getting enough vitamins and minerals.
- Avoid Heat Styling: The heat from styling tools can weaken hair further. Try air-drying your hair whenever possible.
- Use Gentle Hair Accessories: Tight elastics and rough clips can put extra strain on hair.
