dōTERRA’s Root to Tip Serum

The world can be tough on your hair! Sun, pollution, and other environmental factors can leave your locks looking somewhat less than glamorous. The key to a good hair day is to provide your hair with root-to-tip protection from environmental assaults.

dōTERRA’s Root to Tip Serum (part of the Salon Essentials Hair Care line) is a powerful, lightweight serum that provides extended protection and moisture without weighing hair down or leaving an oily residue. Root to Tip Serum is infused with a propriatary blend of CPTG essential oils (Lavender, Peppermint, Marjoram, Cedar Atlas, Lavandin, Rosemary, Niaouli,  and Eucalyptus) and protective lipids such as argan oil. Root to Tip provides a healthy environment for your scalp by distributing nutrients to each hair follicle and strand that nourish and protect your hair from everyday damage.

Benefit Breakdown: Which essential oils are in the blend, and why?

• Cedar Atlas: Used to assist in improving scalp conditions, such as an itchy, flaky, or scaly scalp.
• Eucalyptus: Helps improve luster and elasticity.
• Lavandin: Supports healthy skin.
• Lavender: Supports healthy hair follicles.
• Marjoram, Peppermint, and Rosemary: Help increase circulation by stimulating blood flow to the scalp.
• Niaouli (from the Melaleuca family): Helps support absorption of essential oils to promote a healthy scalp.

What did a professional hairstylist have to say about Root to Tip Serum?

“The Root to Tip Serum is a very multifunctional product. I love to use this product before and after blow drying, as a scalp treatment, or as a wash and air dry product. 

The product, when used in the right amount, absorbs so amazingly well into the hair you truly have to use it to believe it. The smell of the product is intense and can awaken any drowsy mind. 

When using as a scalp treatment, I recommend brushing the scalp first with a boar bristle brush using medium pressure; the point is to exfoliate the scalp. When finished, either drop the serum directly onto the scalp scattering drops throughout, or apply to the hands and begin working it into the scalp with the fingertips. 

Once the product is worked throughout, massage in circular movements. I usually spend 20 minutes on the scalp massage. 

Follow with shampoo and conditioner, or brush through to the ends of the hair and leave in for the day for an extra conditioning effect. When using this as a styling aid, I work a couple of drops of the product in my hands and apply from the ends of my hair to the mid shaft of the hair, staying away from the roots. 

If I curl the hair, I will take a drop or two rub it in my hands and lightly run my fingers through the curls from mid shaft to ends to give a piecy soft look to the curl.” -Jovani VanOrden
