To maintain product efficacy and shelf life:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using the product, consider the following:

• Insufficient Lather: Ensure hair is thoroughly wet before applying shampoo. You may need to use a slightly larger amount or add more water during the massage to activate lather.
• Scalp Dryness/Irritation: If your scalp feels dry or irritated, reduce the frequency of use to once a week or less. Ensure you are rinsing the product completely from your hair and scalp. Consult a dermatologist if irritation persists.
• Continued Oiliness: Ensure you are massaging the shampoo thoroughly into the roots and scalp during application. Consider using the product twice during a single wash, focusing on the roots during the first wash and the ends during the second.
