How to Use Your Balancing Scalp Serum

Step-by-Step Guide for Best Results:

  1. Start with Clean Hair: For optimal results, wash with Dr. Barbara Sturm Balancing Shampoo or your favourite gentle shampoo.
  2. Apply Drops Evenly: Part your hair and use the dropper to apply a few drops directly to your scalp, focusing on problem areas.
  3. Gently Massage: Using clean fingertips, massage serum in small, circular motions to encourage absorption and stimulate blood flow.
  4. Let It Absorb: Leave in—there’s no need to rinse. Style as usual.
  5. Repeat Daily: Safe for everyday use and especially effective as part of your nightly routine.

Safety Tips:

  • Avoid eye contact; rinse thoroughly with water if needed.
  • Always perform a patch test before first full use.
  • Discontinue if irritation persists.

Storage Instructions

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and extreme heat.
  • Keep the bottle tightly sealed to maintain potency and prevent contamination.
