Oil only where it touches.
Each tooth ends in a small metal roller. When it rolls along your scalp, it releases a little oil. Lift it away and it stops, so there are no drips, no waste and no oily fingers.
The clear reservoir shows you exactly how much oil is left.

Honest answers.
Does it work on braids, locs and cornrows?
Yes. That's exactly what it's made for. Run the comb along your parts and the roller tips put oil straight onto your scalp without lifting or frizzing your style.
Which oils can I use?
Most hair and scalp oils: rosemary, argan, jojoba, coconut (melted), marula and blends. Very thick oils like Jamaican black castor oil should be mixed 50/50 with a lighter oil so they flow through the tips.
Will it leak in my bag?
The roller tips only release oil when they touch your scalp. Close the cap and store it upright, and empty it before you travel.
Does it make my hair greasy?
It uses less oil than a bottle or your fingers because the oil goes onto your scalp, not your hair. Start with a little and add more if you need it.
How often should I use it?
Most people oil their scalp 2 to 4 times a week. Follow whatever routine works for your hair.
How do I clean it?
Empty any leftover oil, rinse with warm water and a little mild soap, then let it air dry before refilling.
Can men use it?
Yes. It works for short hair and for beard oil too.
