For everyone who has tried everything

Tried everything for hair fall?

Maybe it's time to look deeper.

Another oil. Another serum. Another promise. The problem may not be the strand โ€” but the follicle it grows from.

Sound familiar?

New product. Same problem.

You read the labels. You gave it weeks. You still check the drain and the brush. It's not you โ€” most products never reach where hair fall starts.

What have you already tried? Tap all that apply.

Your hair fall deserves more than another round of trial and error. See where hair fall really starts โ†“

Where hair fall starts

What if it starts deeper?

Every strand grows from a follicle under your scalp. When the follicle weakens, hair falls โ€” whatever you put on the strand.

Why hair fall keeps coming back

Hair fall rarely has just one cause. These five things can weaken the follicle โ€” which is why one popular ingredient rarely solves it.

  • 1Buildup

    Oil, sweat and dead skin clog the follicle.

  • 2Collagen loss

    The follicle loses its grip on the hair, so it sheds sooner.

  • 3Poor blood flow

    Fewer nutrients reach the root.

  • 4Hormone changes

    DHT, PCOS or thyroid shifts can shrink follicles.

  • 5Sugar damage

    Called glycation โ€” it slowly weakens follicles over time.

How it works

Not what's in it. How deep it goes.

Your scalp pushes water-based products away. Our patented water-in-oil formula is designed to carry actives past that barrier โ€” to where hair grows.

Stabilise

Clears buildup and calms the scalp.

Stimulate

Helps wake up resting follicles.

Sustain

Keeps follicles nourished for the long run.

Questions

Before you decide.

Why is my hair still falling after trying so many products?

Hair fall can come from genes, hormones, diet, stress, health or your scalp โ€” and most products only work on the hair you can see. If your hair fall is heavy, sudden or patchy, see a dermatologist too.

Is this just another rosemary or Redensyl oil?

No. Root Deep is built around the follicle, with a patented water-in-oil formula designed to carry its actives deeper into the scalp. It doesn't rely on one trending ingredient.

When will I notice a difference?

In the 12-week study of an earlier Root Deep routine, hair fall was already lower at the 2-week check, with bigger changes by week 12. Everyone is different โ€” using it regularly matters most.

Is it for men and women?

Yes. It's made for adults with hair fall or thinning, whatever your gender.

How long does one bottle last?

Each bottle is 50 ml and each use is 5 ml, so one bottle gives you about 10 applications.

Will it feel greasy or stain my pillow?

It's an overnight oil, so you'll feel it on your scalp while you sleep and wash it out in the morning. Many customers say it rinses out easily. An old pillowcase or a towel over your pillow helps.

I feel a warm, tingling sensation. Is that normal?

A mild warmth is normal and many customers find it relaxing. If you feel burning, redness or itching, wash it off and stop using it.

I have a sensitive scalp or dandruff. Can I use it?

It's designed to clear buildup, excess oil and dandruff from the scalp. If your skin is sensitive, do a patch test behind your ear 24 hours before first use.

I'm using minoxidil. Should I stop?

Don't stop or swap a prescribed treatment without talking to your doctor first.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Please check with your doctor before starting any new scalp treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Do I need to use a Root Deep shampoo?

Any gentle shampoo will wash it out. We recommend Root Deep Scalp Shampoo because it's made to work with the oil.

What's in it? Any parabens?

The key actives are red clover, rosebay and macadamia, plus peptides. There are no parabens in the formula โ€” see the full ingredient list in the product section above.

The oil or a kit โ€” which one is right for me?

Start with the oil if you want one focused step. Choose a kit if you'd like a full routine โ€” the kits add a shampoo and, in the Complete Kit, a serum and scalp nutrition.

Not sure what's causing your hair fall?

Root Deep offers expert consultations โ€” use Book Consultation in the menu at the top of the page.
