FRO Serums & Scalp Wellness

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about caring for your scalp with FRO.

Scalp Wellness

Why do I need to use a FRO scalp serum?

To deliver targeted hydration directly to the scalp without weighing down your roots.

FRO scalp serums are non-greasy, water-based formulations that are easy to use on the scalp.

Healthy hair starts at the root. Your scalp is an extension of your facial skin, yet it’s often overlooked in daily beauty routines. External factors like pollution, hard water, heat styling, protective styles, and product build-up can leave the scalp dry, irritated, or unbalanced.

Which serum should I choose?

Main Squeeze and Grounded Baddie share our signature hydrating, scalp-nourishing base formulation. We created two versions so you can choose the scent profile that best fits your mood and routine:

  • Main Squeeze (Hydrating Scalp Serum): Delivers our core hydrating formula with a bright, refreshing scent profile designed to uplift your daily scalp routine.
  • Grounded Baddie (Hydrating Scalp Serum): Offers the same deep scalp hydration and comfort with a rich, grounding scent profile perfect for a calming, ritualistic self-care experience.

Compatibility & Styling

Will FRO serums affect or strip keratin or chemical treatments?

Wait until after your first wash following a keratin or chemical treatment. Check with your stylist if you are unsure.

  • Targeted application: The serums are formulated specifically for direct scalp application rather than coating the hair strand where keratin treatments bond.
  • Gentle hydration: They are lightweight and free from harsh stripping agents or heavy oils that disrupt chemical treatments.

If you’ve just received a keratin treatment, we recommend waiting until after your initial post-treatment wash period before applying any leave-in scalp products.

Can I use FRO scalp serums with protective styles (braids, weaves, locs)?

Yes, absolutely. Protective styles often leave parts of the scalp exposed to air and dry environments, or tight from tension. Our targeted nozzle applicator makes it effortless to apply the serum directly to exposed parted lines without build-up in your extensions or locs.

How often should I apply the serums?

Because FRO serums are lightweight and absorb cleanly into the scalp:

  • Daily / as needed: Apply a few drops whenever your scalp feels tight, dry, or in need of a quick refresh.
  • Post-wash routine: Apply directly to a damp or dry scalp after washing and gently massage in before styling.

Product Usage & Safety

Are FRO serums heavy or greasy?

Not at all. FRO serums focus on scalp hydration rather than heavy oil coating. The water-based formulas absorb quickly into the skin without leaving a tacky, oily, or weighted residue, making them suitable for fine hair, thick textures, and everything in between.

How do I apply the FRO serums?
  1. Section: Section your dry or damp hair to expose the scalp.
  2. Apply: Apply a few drops directly onto the scalp using the applicator.
  3. Massage: Gently massage with your fingertips in circular motions to evenly distribute.
  4. Leave in: No rinsing required! Style your hair as usual.
Are FRO products suitable for sensitive scalps?

Our formulations prioritise naturally derived, skin-friendly ingredients.

As with any new cosmetic product, if you have known severe sensitivities or skin allergies, we recommend doing a patch test on a small area of skin before full scalp application.
