01The problem
Everything reached the scalp except the oil.
We tried all three methods for years. The towel kept score.
Fingers. A fraction of the dose reaches skin. The rest goes to the hands, the lengths, the pillowcase, and a towel that will never be white again.
The dropper. Precise in theory. In practice, a forehead rinse, a cold trail down the neck, and a bottle that tips over the moment you look away.
The squeeze bottle. One spot, far too much, a small puddle, and the distinct feeling of having been pranked by your own bathroom.
