Directions
Apply to damp or towel-dry hair. Sopping wet hair will dissolve the scrub faster than you want, and if your scalp is too dry then the abrasion will be too harsh. Try Thriae while soaking in a relaxing hot bath.
Scoop out a bit of scrub and work it down to the scalp with your fingers. Don’t worry if it gets on your hair, it won’t hurt it at all! Work the scrub into the scalp using a small, gentle circular motion, adding more scrub as needed. When the scrub has dissolved, let it sit for a few minutes on your scalp so the beneficial properties of the honeyOur honey is from our own bees, organically and ethically kept with the goal of putting more pollinators into the world rather than maximizing honey production.

Got leftovers on your hands? Work it into your face too, just be careful not to get it in your eyes, nose or mouth. It won’t kill you, but it isn’t a good idea to ingest anything with essential oils. Yes, it smells sweet and yummy- don’t eat it!
Water alone may not be enough to get the residue from the scrub out, so you can use your favorite method of washing to remove it. As you rinse, be sure to work your fingers at the scalp, ensuring that water can rinse things clean. You may notice you shed a few more hairs than normal, this is expected and nothing to worry about! The hairs that were ready to fall out in the next day or two just got worked out a bit sooner with the scalp massage, you’re not losing any hair you weren’t going to anyway! And that’s it! Enjoy this whenever your scalp could use a little extra attention
