No. 001How to use
Five motions. About a minute.
The comb does one thing, so there is not much to learn. Fill it, cap it, draw it along the part. The oil goes where the tips touch and nowhere else. The drawings below are the whole manual.
01Method
Fill, cap, part, glide, rinse.

Fill
Uncap the reservoir and add about 4 ml of oil with the dropper. Any oil that pours will do: rosemary, castor, jojoba, amla, argan, a serum, or the blend your family swears by.
4 ml is one full scalp for most people.

Cap
Seat the cap until it stops. The reservoir is now sealed, which means it can sit on a shelf, ride in a bag, or be set down mid-thought without consequence.

Part
Make a part where you want the oil: the center line, a hairline, or section by section across the scalp. The tips only release on contact, so the part decides where the oil goes.

Glide
Rest the tips on the skin and draw the comb slowly along the part. Each metal tip lays one thin line. Move to the next part and repeat until the reservoir is empty or your scalp is done, whichever comes first.
Light pressure. The tips do the work.

Rinse
Hold the teeth under warm water and let it run through the tips. Dry it, cap it, and put it back. No soaking, no brushes, no ceremony.
02On dosage
A full reservoir is about 4 ml. That is a lot more than it sounds and a lot less than a dropper bottle wants you to use. Start with half and see how your scalp feels the next morning. You can always refill. You cannot un-oil a pillow.
03Notes
Small questions, answered
01 How often should I oil?
Most people oil one to three times a week, usually the evening before a wash. Your scalp will tell you; a tight, dry feeling means more often, a greasy one means less.
02 Can I use a thick oil like castor?
Yes. Thick oils flow more slowly through the tips, so move a little slower along the part. Warming the oil slightly in your hands before filling helps.
03 Do I need to wash it after every use?
A warm rinse through the tips after each use keeps them clear. If you switch oils, rinse a little longer.
04 Can I leave oil in it between uses?
Yes. The reservoir is sealed when capped. Rinse the tips, cap it, and it will keep until the next evening.
