How to Use GYEB Growth Oil the Right Way

So you got your hands on our Growth Oil? Cute.
But listen, if you just slapping it on like it’s that blue grease from back in the day and praying for miracles… you might be doing too much and not enough at the same time.

Let’s walk through the right way to use the Grow Your Edges Back Growth Serum—step by step.


Step 1: Read the Bottle

We know, we know. Nobody wants to read directions.
But we ain’t just printing labels for decoration.

👉🏾 It says:
“Apply GROWYOUREDGESBACK Growth Serum to clean hair as needed. We highly recommend using GYEB Shampoo and Conditioner for the best results.”

So yes—clean hair is a must.

Don’t be massaging oil into 2-week-old buildup and wondering why your scalp still flaky.


Step 2: Start With a Fresh Foundation

🧼 Use our GYEB Shampoo to gently cleanse your scalp without stripping your natural oils.
💧 Follow up with GYEB Conditioner to soften and prep your hair for what’s next.

Clean scalp = open pores = your growth oil actually doing what it came to do.


Step 3: Apply With Purpose, Not Pressure

How much do you need?
A few drops per section. That’s it. This is a serum, not a soup.

✅ Use directly on your scalp or apply to your fingertips.
✅ Massage it in using circular motions—let those fingertips do the work.
✅ Focus on your edges, crown, or anywhere you’re seeing thinning or slow growth.

PRO TIP: Warm the oil slightly (by rubbing in your hands or placing the bottle in warm water) for deeper penetration.


Step 4: Make It Part of Your Routine (Not Just a One-Time Prayer)

You wouldn’t water a plant once and expect it to bloom overnight. Your scalp needs consistent care, too.

Here’s how to work it in:

  • Protective styles? Apply 2–3 times a week directly to the scalp
  • Wash & go life? Use it as a scalp massage oil before bed
  • Edges struggling? Use a little every day, paired with Edge Control in the morning

Consistency + patience = results. Don’t rush the process.


Step 5: Track Your Progress (So You Know It’s Working)

Growth sneaks up on you. So take pics, boo.

📸 Day 1: Snap that before photo
📅 Set a calendar reminder to reapply
📸 Day 30, 60, 90: Watch the glow up

What Not to Do

❌ Don’t apply on dirty hair. It seals in the mess.
❌ Don’t drown your scalp in oil. It’s a treatment, not a glaze and you are not a donut.
❌ Don’t expect growth overnight. Stay down till your crown comes up.
