How to Use

Apply The Hair Solution

  1. Apply 1-2 dropperfuls of The Hair Solution to the scalp once per day at night, OR as directed by your dermatologist. Do not use more than the recommended amount. 
  2. Gently press the dropper and allow the solution to be applied directly to the crown of the scalp OR put in hands and apply to areas by massaging it in. Do not get hair wet for at least 4 hours.
    TIP: It is EXTREMELY important to apply only to the scalp. If applied elsewhere, it may stimulate new hair growth. Avoid areas around the hair (such as the neck and face).
  3. Wash hands to remove any remaining medication.
