The Founder’s Guide: Oiling Hair the Lancemade® Way
Hello, I’m Lance.
Embarking on a hair care journey isn’t just about growing long hair—it’s about embracing self-love and transforming your life. Hair care, to me, is an act of self-care, and I want to share the routine that has helped me, and countless clients of mine, achieve long, healthy hair. This routine isn’t just a regimen; it’s a lifestyle change that honors your hair and your body.
Here’s the oiling routine I follow as of December 2024. I’ll keep updating it as I learn more, but for now, I’m excited for you to incorporate these steps into your own journey.
STEP 1: Overnight Oil Treatment
Twice a week, I apply the oil (my custom formula) to my scalp and lengths before bed. I wrap my hair in a satin scarf. For those who aren’t comfortable with overnight oiling, you can apply the oil 1 hour before washing your hair. Just NEVER shampoo unoiled hair. You will thank me later.
If you’re just starting, use our oil generously on your scalp and massage gently. The plant material along with the fats in it will give you a scalp detox effect, loosening up any dead skin & toxins, setting the perfect foundation for healthy hair growth.
STEP 2: Seal In for Maximum Retention
I take 2-6 drops of the oil every night (for my thigh length hair) and apply it to the bottom half of my hair, focusing on the ends. This small but powerful step helps with length retention, thanks to the deeply nourishing oils in our formula.
By making this a consistent habit, you’ll see fewer split ends and need fewer trims, helping you reach your desired length faster.
STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse
On every wash day, I finish with a ‘drinking water rinse.’ I keep a bottle of drinking water in my bathroom and use it to rinse both my scalp and hair after shampooing. This simple step eliminates mineral build-up, which can cause scalp irritation and breakage. It’s a small effort that makes a huge difference in protecting your hair’s health.
STEP 4: For Sudden Excessive Shedding/Thinning
This step is optional, but if you’re experiencing excessive shedding or thinning, it’s important to rule out Vitamin D3 or B12 deficiencies. A simple blood test can help you identify any underlying issues. Many of my clients have experienced significant volume improvements after addressing these deficiencies, along with consistent oiling.
Remember, hair health starts from the inside out.
STEP 5: Track Your Progress
One of the most motivating parts of this journey is seeing your progress. Take a photo of your hair every month, preferably on wash day. This will not only motivate you but also help you stay consistent.
Key Tips for Success:
- Never shampoo unoiled hair.
- Always air-dry your hair after washing-don’t leave it wet.
- Use scrunchies and detangle gently.
- Avoid heat tools, tight hairstyles, and excessive manipulation.
- Eat a balanced diet, stay consistent, and track your progress with photos.
Speaking from experience, this journey transforms you in ways you never expected. It’s more than just hair—it’s a reflection of self-care, dedication, and patience.
