Serve & Enjoy Herbal Scalp Serum

This serum is best applied before bedtime. Distribute it evenly on your scalp and hair lengths, then gently massage it in using circular movements. This not only helps the serum absorb better, but it also promotes blood circulation to the scalp. Leave the serum on overnight and wash it out gently with a mild shampoo in the morning.

For optimal results, aim to use the serum 3 to 4 times a week. Consistent use will help your scalp feel refreshed and may support healthier hair growth over time.
