If your scalp feels off, whether it's too oily, too dry, or just uncomfortable, lemongrass is worth knowing about. It contains citral, a naturally occurring compound that's been studied for its scalp-clarifying properties (Chaisripipat et al. 2015, Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology). Research suggests lemongrass oil may also help support skin comfort (Han & Parker 2017, Biochim Open). Your scalp should feel refreshed, not irritated.
Here's the thing about most hair oils: they sit on top. This blend uses maracuja oil, which is naturally rich in linoleic acid, a lightweight essential fatty acid that absorbs quickly into your hair. Combined with castor and sacha inchi, the formula conditions without leaving a film. If you have fine hair, you can finally use an oil without looking weighed down.
Dry, fragile hair that feels like straw after washing? Castor oil is known for its moisturizing and protective coating properties, helping strands feel softer and smoother. Sacha inchi brings omega-3 fatty acids and naturally occurring vitamin E. Most people notice softer, shinier hair within the first few uses, not weeks.
The lemongrass scent isn't a fragrance added at the end. It comes from whole plants infused into the oil itself. That's why it smells fresh and bright, not synthetic or perfume-like. Open the bottle and you'll know the difference immediately.

Common questions about our Lemongrass Hair Oil.
This is the most common concern we hear, and the most common surprise. Customers with fine, oily, curly, and thick hair all say it absorbs without residue or weight. If you have fine hair, start with 1-2 drops and build from there.
Most people notice softer, shinier hair within the first few uses. Scalp comfort and oil balance take longer, usually 4-6 weeks of consistent use. The people who stick with it 2-3 times a week are the ones who notice the biggest difference.
Both. Lemongrass has been studied for its scalp-clarifying properties and has a long history of traditional use in scalp care. It's the hero ingredient here, not just a fragrance. The fact that it smells incredible is a bonus.
For fine hair, start with 1-2 drops. For thicker or longer hair, 3-5 drops. Apply directly to your scalp, not the lengths of your hair. A little goes a long way with this formula.
Yes. It sounds counterintuitive, but lightweight oils can actually help a scalp that's overproducing oil feel more balanced. One customer specifically reported that it helped reduce her hair's greasiness over time.
Yes. The formula contains no sulfates, no parabens, and no actives that interfere with color. It's as gentle as it gets, and it helps restore moisture and shine that chemical processes can strip away.
Absolutely. Customers with fine, thick, curly, wavy, and heat-styled hair all report great results. The key is adjusting how much you use. Fine hair needs less, thicker hair can handle more.
Not at all. It's ready to use straight from the bottle. No mixing, no measuring, no carrier oil needed. Just open and apply.
