Dear Dr. Pickart,

In the directions for using Folligen, it says after applying Folligen to apply Emu oil and massage into scalp. It says that the Emu oil works as a penetrating agent.

My question is, should Emu oil also be massaged into the scalp after using the new Hair Signals Cream?

Thank you,

Chris

Dear Chris:

Dr. Pickart will probably reply shortly with his thoughts but Emu Oil for Hair can be applied on top of Hair Signals. It will work well as a penetrating agent.

Some clients though find that Hair Signals (with its added penetrating agents polysorbate-20 and polysorbate-80) also works very well on its own.

Best Wishes,

Dear Dr. Pickart:

Would it be beneficial to first massage a light amount of Emu oil into the scalp, and then apply and massage in Folligen (or Hair Signals), and then finish by massaging in another light amount of Emu oil?

Thank you,

Chris

Dear Chris,

It really depends upon why you are using the Emu Oil S for Hair. If you are using it to soothe your scalp if it is irritated, then you would want to apply it 1st. If you want and need the benefit of the Folligen or Hair Signals then you would not want to apply it before as it will slow the penetration of the copper peptide in the Folligen/Hair Signals.
