Frequently Asked Questions
Product & Usage
How do I use the Purpose Hair & Scalp Oil?
Apply a few drops directly to your scalp and massage gently.
Leave for at least 30 minutes before washing — or overnight for a deeper treatment.
You can also apply a small amount to mid-lengths and ends on damp hair for added shine and smoothness.
How often should I use it?
We recommend using 2–3 times per week as a pre-wash treatment.
Consistency is key when it comes to scalp health.
Can I leave it in overnight?
Yes. Leaving the oil overnight allows for a more intensive treatment.
We recommend using a satin bonnet or protecting your pillow.
Can I use it on wet or dry hair?
Both.
- Dry hair: Best for scalp treatments before washing
- Damp lengths: A drop or two to nourish, smooth and add shine
Is it suitable for all hair types?
Yes — Purpose is designed for all hair types, including:
- Straight, wavy, curly, and oily hair
- Fine to thick textures
- Colour-treated hair
Can I use it with hair extensions?
Yes. But only on the scalp. Avoid the extensions.
It can help with:
- Dry scalp caused by extensions
- Tension and irritation
- Adding moisture to lengths (avoid bonds/tapes when applying)
Will this help with hair growth?
Purpose focuses on supporting scalp health, which is essential for healthy hair growth.
A nourished, balanced scalp creates the ideal environment for stronger, healthier hair over time.
How long until I see results?
Many people notice softer, shinier hair after the first few uses.
Scalp and long-term hair health improvements typically build with consistent use over several weeks.
