Herbal products are simple to use, but a few mistakes can cause problems. Avoid these common ones.

Skipping the patch test

A patch test takes two days and prevents many problems.

Using too much

More product is rarely better. Start small, and increase only if you need to.

Mixing without care

Make only what you need, use clean tools, and discard leftovers.

Ignoring storage

Heat and moisture spoil products. Keep them sealed and cool.

Changing too fast

Give a product time to show its effect, usually several weeks. Change one thing at a time.

Forgetting the doctor

If a product causes a reaction, or you have a health concern, see a doctor. Try a Hair Pack or other product only after you understand how it fits your needs.
