Understanding Hybrid Water-Oil vs. Oil-Only Formulas — What’s Best for Your Hair?

At Rejjuv, we want you to understand the difference between our hybrid water-oil formulas and traditional oil-only treatments — so you can choose the best care for your hair’s unique needs.

1. Hybrid Water-Based + Oil-Based Formula

What’s inside?
This formula blends both water (or herbal infusions) and oils using gentle emulsifiers. This means it delivers water-soluble nutrients like herbal extracts and antioxidants, plus oil-soluble vitamins and fatty acids — all in one powerful mix.

Benefits:

  • Supports scalp hydration and opens hair follicles to help nutrients absorb better.

  • Nourishes hair with oils and natural DHT blockers to support scalp health.

  • Lightweight, non-greasy feel that’s great for daily use on oily or normal scalps.

  • Designed to deliver a wide range of nourishing ingredients for balanced care.

What it means for your hair:
This dual-phase approach may help support the appearance of fuller, healthier hair over time by improving nutrient delivery and scalp condition.

Results may vary based on individual use and factors.

 

 

2. Oil-Based Serum

What’s inside?
This formula contains only nourishing oils, butters, and oil-soluble ingredients — no water phase.

Benefits:

  • Provides deep moisture and helps protect the scalp’s natural barrier.

  • Especially beneficial for dry, curly, or textured hair that needs lasting hydration.

  • Simple, stable formula with a longer shelf life and no emulsifiers.

  • Slowly absorbs for sustained conditioning and scalp nourishment.

What it means for your hair:
While it may take longer to see visible improvements in hair fullness, oil treatments excel at moisturizing and strengthening hair strands.

How It Works

Each step takes approximately 5-10 minutes, making it easy to incorporate into your morning or evening routine.

1. On-The-Go Hybrid Hair Formula (Morning Ritual)

Purpose: Supports daily scalp nourishment, hydration, and the appearance of healthy hair.

When: First thing in the morning, ideally after showering.

How to apply: (~5 minutes)

  • After showering, gently towel-dry hair until damp.

  • Shake the bottle well for 20–30 seconds. Spray gently starting from the middle of the head toward the sides. Check for full coverage and apply more if needed.

  • Massage gently with fingertips or use a disposable makeup pad soaked in formula, rubbing lightly over the scalp and hairline.

  • For shaved or very short hair, use a soaked pad to cover the entire scalp and hairline.

  • Leave on for 5–10 minutes to allow absorption or up to 2 hours using a disposable hair cap for enhanced treatment. (Select cap size based on hair length — short, medium, or long. Ear caps are optional.)

  • If excess residue or heaviness occurs, gently wipe away with a baby wipe or clean tissue for comfort. For deeper treatment, you may choose to wash the formula off afterward. Once the formula dries, it will act as a hair gel.

Important:
For external use only.
Always perform a patch test 24 hours prior to full use to check for skin sensitivity.

Optional: Use this time for a relaxing scalp massage or a moment of self-care.

2. Deep Hair Serum (Evening Ritual)

Purpose: Conditions the scalp and hair, supporting healthier hair appearance with more potent nourishment.

When: Before showering, preferably in the evening.

How to apply: (~5-10 minutes)

  • Shake the bottle well for 20–30 seconds. Spray gently from the middle of the head toward the sides. Allow to absorb briefly, check coverage, and apply more if needed.

  • Focus on thinning or problem areas first, then cover the entire scalp.

  • For shaved or short hair, soak a disposable makeup pad and gently rub over the scalp and hairline.

  • Cover with a disposable hair cap (ear caps optional). The cap traps heat, helping the scalp better absorb the formula.

  • Leave on for 30 minutes up to 2 hours before washing.

  • If you notice any excess residue or heaviness, gently wipe away with a baby wipe or clean tissue. You may wash the formula off afterward.

  • Wash hair thoroughly with a natural or organic shampoo, checking ingredient authenticity.

Note: The oil formula is more potent than the hybrid formula, so use only 1-2 times per week, spaced 3-4 days apart.

Important:
For external use only.
Always perform a patch test 24 hours prior to full use to check for skin sensitivity.

Optional: Try the Hot & Cold Shower Technique during rinsing — alternate warm and cold water in one-minute intervals (e.g., 1 minute hot, 1 minute cold, repeat five cycles). Warm water opens scalp pores; cold water closes them, promoting circulation and scalp health.

3. Micro-Needling Protocol (Optional but Recommended)

 

  • Use a clean dermaroller or micro-needling device with 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm needles, depending on hair length and scalp condition.

  • Very important: Thoroughly disinfect the dermaroller or device before and after each use.

  • Gently roll over the scalp horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.

  • Perform micro-needling once per week; avoid applying Rejjuv formulas on micro-needling days to prevent irritation.

  • Consult a healthcare professional before starting, especially if you have scalp sensitivity or conditions.

4. Safety & Cleanliness Tips

  • Always use clean hands or disposable applicators to avoid contamination.

  • Perform a patch test 24 hours before full use of any new formula.

  • Avoid eye contact; rinse immediately with water if contact occurs.

  • Store formulas in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Use disposable eyeliner brushes, wands, cotton swabs, and pads for hygiene.

On the go Hybrid eyelash & brows formula (Morning Ritual)

  • Let dry completely (1–2 minutes) before applying any eye makeup or mascara.

  • Use daily every morning for best results.

Important:
For external use only.
Patch test recommended before full use.

What to avoid:

  • Don’t apply too much; a thin layer is sufficient.

  • Avoid getting serum directly into eyes. If it happens, rinse gently with water.

  • Avoid using on broken or irritated skin.

 Deep Eyelash  &  brow serum (Evening Ritual)

  • Remove all eye makeup thoroughly before application.

  • Apply a thin line of the oil serum along the upper and lower lash line with the brush applicator.

  • Brush through lashes gently from root to tip.

  • Optionally, lightly massage the lash line with a clean fingertip to stimulate circulation.

  • Leave on overnight; rinse off in the morning during face wash.

  • Use every night for optimal lash nourishment and repair.

Important:
For external use only.
Patch test recommended before full use.

What to avoid:

  • Avoid contact lenses during application; apply only when lenses are removed.

  • Avoid applying excessive oil to prevent dripping into eyes.

  • Do not apply if you have lash extensions (oil can weaken adhesive).

  • Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin.

 

General Daily Use Tips for Lashes & Brows

  • Consistency is key — apply daily for at least 6–8 weeks to see visible results.

  • Never share your applicator or serum with others to avoid contamination.

  • If you experience redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use immediately.

  • Keep the serum capped tightly when not in use to maintain freshness and avoid contamination.

  • Use gentle motions to avoid tugging lashes or irritating eyelids.
