The Incredible Regrowth Serum 50ml

A Miel Impérial Selection

Hair Serum with 14 Plant Oils

An oil macerate bringing together fourteen plant oils drawn from Moroccan and Oriental hair-care tradition: argan, black seed, fenugreek, jujube, saffron, rocket, prickly pear, garlic, onion, mustard, sesame, pine, sweet almond and chamomile. A pre-shampoo treatment for dry, dull or weakened hair, to be used as a hot-oil treatment on the scalp and lengths.

• The Miel Impérial hair serum is a macerate made of fourteen plant oils, with no silicone and no synthetic additives.

• It is used as a pre-shampoo treatment, applied to the scalp and ends, with a leave-in time of one hour to a full night.

• It nourishes the hair fibre, coats it and brings back suppleness and shine, especially on dry, thick or colour-treated hair.

• Its formula includes mustard oil, a powerful oil that is not recommended for very sensitive scalps without a prior patch test.

• It suits both women and men and is washed out with shampoo after the leave-in time.

1. Pour a small amount of serum into the palm of your hand, then rub your hands together to warm it up.

2. Massage the scalp for one to two minutes, head down if your hair is long. The massage matters as much as the product.

3. Take a little more serum if needed, then apply to the ends and lightly along the lengths.

4. Leave in for one hour up to a full night, hair protected with a cap or a satin scarf.

5. Wash with your usual shampoo, emulsifying first on dry hair to lift the oil more easily.

Our house tip

The most common mistake is using too much: excess oil rinses out poorly and weighs the hair down. Build up gradually, until the hair is lightly coated, no more.

For an overnight treatment, apply only to the scalp and the ends: the oil travels naturally up the fibre during the leave-in time.

• Mustard oil: this is a powerful oil that may irritate sensitive scalps. Always do a patch test on a small area before the first full use. If you feel tingling or a burning sensation, rinse and do not use the product.

• Do not use this serum if you are allergic to any of the oils in the formula.

• External use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; in case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

• Do not apply to a damaged, irritated or broken scalp.

• This product is a cosmetic treatment. In case of significant, sudden or persistent hair loss, or any scalp condition, consult a dermatologist.

How long should the oil treatment be left in?

Allow at least 30 minutes for a quick treatment, and 1 to 2 hours for dry, curly or thick hair. That is the most widely recommended range. Beyond 3 hours the gain is marginal: the serum has already done its work. Wrap your hair in a warm towel or a cap to help it penetrate.

Can the serum be left in overnight?

Yes, but it is not necessary for good results and it does not suit everyone. Keep overnight treatments for very dry, thick, curly or coily hair, using a moderate amount on the scalp and ends only. If you need three shampoos the next day, or if your roots get oily very quickly, the leave-in time was too long or too generous.

How often should you do an oil treatment?

Once a week suits most hair types. Very dry, curly or coily hair can go up to twice a week. Fine hair or oily roots benefit from spacing it out to once every ten days, focusing on the lengths only. Consistency matters more than intensity.

How do you wash the oil out afterwards?

The trick that changes everything: apply shampoo directly to dry hair, before wetting it. Water and oil do not mix, whereas the surfactants in shampoo bind to the oil straight away. Emulsify well, add water gradually, rinse, then do a second shampoo on damp hair, focusing on the lengths.

Should the serum go on the roots or only the lengths?

Both work, depending on your goal and hair type. To massage and soften the scalp, apply at the roots. To nourish and coat, focus on the lengths and ends, the oldest and most fragile parts. If your roots get oily quickly or your hair is fine, leave the first 5 to 10 cm root-free.

How much serum should you use?

One to two teaspoons for short to mid-length hair, one to two tablespoons for long or thick hair. Your hair should be lightly coated and shiny, not dripping. If oil runs down your neck, there is too much, and rinsing will become a chore.

Does an oil treatment weigh hair down?

Not if it is rinsed out properly. The excess goes with the wash and only what penetrated the fibre stays behind. It is oil left in without rinsing, or applied in excess, that flattens the hair. On fine hair, use little and focus on the lengths.

Is this serum suitable for curly, wavy and coily hair?

These are in fact the textures that benefit most: sebum travels poorly along a curly fibre, so this hair is naturally drier. Focus on the ends, detangle gently during the leave-in time and feel free to go long on the timing.

Does the serum have a strong smell?

The formula contains garlic, onion and mustard oils, which have a marked scent. The smell fades after shampooing. If it bothers you, a final rinse with diluted vinegar or floral water neutralises it effectively.

Can it be used on coloured or bleached hair?

Yes, oil treatments are particularly suited to hair weakened by colouring, bleaching or straightening, which lacks lipids. Note that chamomile oil may slightly enhance golden tones on light hair.
