The essence is a daily treatment so you can use it 7 days a week on the areas you want to address. For best results, apply the essence to a clean scalp, similar to how you would use a skincare serum. Ensuring your scalp is free from oils, old skin cells, dust, and styling products will help the essence penetrate effectively. Even if you don't wash your hair every day, it's still beneficial to apply the essence daily. The formula absorbs quickly and won't leave any residue, so you don’t need to worry about buildup.

No, you do not need to wash out the essence. In fact, it's designed to stay on your scalp, much like a face serum. You should apply it and let it absorb and work its magic. You can use the essence after your shower, or on days you don't wash your hair. Apply it directly to the areas of concern.

The essence quickly absorbs into the scalp and doesn't leave any residue, so it won't interfere with your Color Shampoo or other hair treatments. The essence is meant to stay on the scalp and not be washed off. Think of it like a face serum but for your scalp.

Results differ greatly from person to person depending on their current scalp and hair condition as well as how quickly your hair grows and your scalp turnover rate - for most,, the natural turnover rate is about 3 months. Because the product aims to address the 'root' of the problem by creating an ideal environment for healthy, natural hair growth, it will take some time for your natural hair and scalp to fully transform.

For most, you should start to see results within 3 months but for some, it can take as long as 5 - 6 months.

Each bottle, depending on how large the application area is, can last from 2 - 3 months. 

The Essence works by stabilizing / regulating your hair cycle so that you can grow strong, healthier hair that has the ability to fully mature without falling out before it is meant to (when new hair comes in). The usual, healthy hair cycle is about 3 months. SO, depending on your health and foods you eat, etc. it can be as quick as 2-3 months before hairs start falling out again prematurely OR later. 

Please note that because the hair cycle is about 3 months, it will take consistent use over these months to really see results. Each bottle, depending on how large the application area is, can last 2 - 3 months. 

The statement, "2x the efficacy of Minoxidil" specifically refers to the core Redensyl ingredient in the product. Redensyl which is a complex blend of Japanese Larch Cone Extract (Pine extract), Tea Leaf Extract, Glycine, and Zinc, is considered an effective, natural alternative to Minoxidil and recognized for its effectiveness in promoting the regrowth of healthy, strong hair and in preventing hair thinning and loss.

The assertion for it's efficacy is based on research studies done by the Swiss company, Induchem, that originally developed Redensyl.

Their studies showed that after 10 days of use, Redensyl increased hair growth by +214% while Minoxidil was by +118% when compared against those who were untreated.

Our Hair Essence also blends other hair nourishing & fortifying ingredients to further support the work of Redensyl and to create a healthy scalp environment for the longterm beauty of your hair.

Yes! The Defy Gray Hair Serum and the Root Beauté Scalp Hair Growth Essence can be safely used together. In fact, pairing them could offer complementary benefits for those looking to improve both hair pigmentation and growth/thickness, while supporting overall scalp health.

How to Use Them Together:

1. Apply to a clean, dry or towel-dried scalp.
2. Start with one product (either one is fine), applying it section by section and gently massaging in.
3. Follow with the second product, using the same method.
4. Massage the scalp gently with fingertips for 2–3 minutes to enhance absorption and stimulate circulation.
5. Use consistently, once or twice daily as recommended.

If you’re worried about absorption, you can alternate AM/PM usage—but layering is totally safe!

Your scalp is the root of it all—quite literally. Just like healthy soil is essential for plants to thrive, a well-nourished, balanced scalp is vital for strong, vibrant hair. It delivers oxygen and nutrients to the follicles, supports healthy hair growth cycles, and protects against inflammation, buildup, and oxidative stress.

When the scalp is neglected, issues like thinning, dullness, flaking, and discomfort can follow. Prioritizing scalp care helps create the ideal environment for fuller, shinier, more resilient hair—starting from the source.

Scalp massage supports healthy hair growth by increasing blood flow to the follicles—delivering oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed most. It also helps clear away buildup of oil and dead skin that can clog follicles and inhibit growth.

Beyond the physical benefits, regular scalp massage reduces stress (a known contributor to hair loss) and stimulates natural sebum production, which keeps both scalp and strands hydrated and protected.

With consistent practice using gentle fingertip pressure, scalp massage can improve overall hair texture, support stronger growth, and create the ideal foundation for healthier, more resilient hair.

For optimal absorption of the Defy Gray Hair Serum, use the pads of your fingertips—not your nails—and gently massage in small, circular motions. Focus on moving the scalp itself, rather than simply rubbing the surface. Apply light, steady pressure as if you're gently shifting the skin across your skull.

Work slowly across the entire scalp, especially concentrating on areas where you notice more graying or thinning. A thorough massage should take about 2–3 minutes and will help boost blood flow, enhance serum penetration, and support healthier melanin production at the root.
