Happy Hair

Leave-On Overnight Scalp Oil

Scalp Oil · At Night, Left In · Cool, Fresh, Herbaceous

More hair in the brush. A part that looks wider than it used to. Hair that simply doesn't feel as full. There are many reasons this can happen, and no scalp oil can honestly address all of them.

Happy Hair was made for the part we can approach directly: the scalp. Rosemary leads, with Peppermint, High Elevation Lavender and Helichrysum, all carried in Argan and Borage.

It is an overnight scalp oil, made for consistent care.

Formulation Logic

Rosemary is the key ingredient here.

Interestingly, rosemary isn't one oil. The same plant can carry quite different chemistry, and each type is called a 'chemotype.' We use Rosemary ct. Verbenone. It carries 1,8-cineole (the same molecule that gives eucalyptus its sharp aroma), but you'll find it softer and greener than the common rosemary, with less of the eucalyptus edge. It has long been the rosemary of choice for skin, and it is the one we prefer on the scalp, night after night.

Peppermint's main constituent is menthol, which gives that quick, cool feel the moment it touches the scalp. High Elevation Lavender is a true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), and it rounds off the sharper edges of the mint and rosemary.

Helichrysum is there for the condition of the scalp itself. It has been studied for inflammation and tissue repair in skin. Helichrysum, Lavender and Rosemary Verbenone have long been found together in skin-care blends, and here they share a bottle again.

For the base, we chose Argan and Borage. Argan is pressed from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree and has long been used on hair. Borage seed oil is about 18 to 26% GLA ('gamma-linolenic acid', a fatty acid prized for dry skin), more than twice what evening primrose oil carries. The finished oil is 7% essential oil, more than twice our facial oils (Ever Youthful is 3%).

Applications

• Apply a small amount directly to the scalp, concentrating on the areas you want to give particular attention.
• Massage lightly with the fingertips to distribute the oil across the scalp.
• Best applied at night and left in. Consistency matters more than quantity.

Questions & Answers

Before you buy

Feel & Finish

Fresh and herbaceous. Peppermint arrives first with a clear, cooling lift; rosemary and lavender follow underneath, while Helichrysum gives the blend a softer, honeyed depth.

On the scalp it feels cool and fresh. Left in overnight, it can leave the hair looking flat or greasy until washed, and some oil may transfer to a pillowcase; protect the fabric if needed.
