NaHaZo tip

Instead of using rosemary springs, you can use Rosemary Oil. Also, if your hair does not like coconut oil, you can replace this with olive oil.

Use responsibly

Remember to cleanse your scalp after use.

It is also not recommended that you leave your hair unwashed for longer than 7 days when using this product. A clogged scalp prevents hair growth, so make sure you cleanse it after use.

*Allergens

Do a skin test to make sure that you are not allergic to any of the ingredients. This is especially important for those with nut allergies.
