Backed by botanical science, Sunrise relies strictly on 100% pure oils. We selected active plant ingredients widely studied for their ability to support:
Structure: Strengthening hair to minimise breakage.
Growth: Stimulating scalp circulation to encourage natural growth.
Protection: Shielding follicles from stress while reinforcing strength.
Addressed Hair Problems
Hair Thinning
Dryness and Breakage
Shedding
Who it’s for: It is particularly effective for those experiencing thinning hair or early stage androgenetic alopecia, where the hair follicle is still active but struggling.
The Reality Check: Topical oils has its boundaries as it cannot reverse advanced scarring alopecia or autoimmune hair loss alone. When the scalp faces severe inflammation, poor circulation, or blocked follicles, an oil cannot resolve the underlying pathology in isolation. Our formula was engineered to do something far more intentional: build the vital groundwork for scalp health. By balancing the microbiome and reinforcing the skin barrier, it provides the ideal environment to support your personal or clinical care.
**Disclaimer**: This is a cosmetic product and is not formulated to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical conditions.
Why Oiling
The goal of scalp oiling is to maintain the acid mantle and lipid barrier, using occlusion to keep the skin supple. This process, paired with massage, increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to the bulb - the ultimate foundation for healthy hair growth.
**Warming**: To avoid dandruff (Seborrheic Dermatitis) and irritation, you must avoid over saturation. Fungi like Malassezia feed on specific fatty acids found in many plant oils. If you leave heavy oils on the scalp for days, you risk triggering an inflammatory response that actually causes hair shedding.
Understanding Biological Triage and Hair Growth
The Biological Hierarchy - Hair The "Non-Essential" Tissue:
1. Survival First: In the body’s "triage" hierarchy, hair is a non essential tissue.
2. The Luxury of Growth: For the body to prioritise hair growth, it must be in a state of optimal surplus. If you are stressed, malnourished, or ill, the body will "shut down" the hair factory to save energy for vital organs.
3. Nutrition vs. Moisture: Most people mistake hair loss for a simple hydration issue (dryness). In reality, healthy growth depends on internal factors, specifically micro circulation, targeted nutrition, and gut health."
How To Use
Note : Application of hair oil is a bottom-up process (surface level protection): it shields your scalp environment and lubricates existing strands. Genuine growth comes is a top-down system (internal nutrient delivery): your blood flow and health dictate how your hair actually grows from within. A complete routine requires both.
At Intrigue Noire We offer Two Methods of application
1. The Daily Support Protocol
Direction: Apply a few lightweight drops directly to the scalp daily as a leave-in treatment, no rinsing required.
Best For: Hair thinning, active growth support, and daily barrier protection.
Key Benefits Of This Method: Absorbs quickly without greasy residue, keeping pores clear and preventing buildup or scalp irritation.
Method: Micro Dosing (No Rinse) :
* Part your hair where it is thinning or feels driest.
* Apply 2 to 4 drops to the scalp (target the skin, not the hair)
* Use fingers to massage, favouring blood circulation.
2. The Intensive Recovery Treatment
Direction: Apply generously to dry or damp hair, saturating from roots to ends. Leave on for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) before washing out thoroughly.
Best For: Restoring length, adding rich shine, building strand resilience, and improving manageability.
Key Benefits Of This Method: Deeply coats each strand to seal in moisture and strengthen weak spots. This prevents breakage and protects hair from water damage, which occurs when strands repeatedly swell and shrink during washing.
Method: The Saturation Technique:
* Apply generously and leave for at least 30 minutes or more.
Optimal Recommendations
1. Prioritise: Vitamins A, C, E, plus Selenium and Iodine intake to fuel the hair bulb. Explore our Inner Glow section for more.
2. Nourish your scalp with consumption of mineral rich herbal infusions, such as Nettle, Horsetail, or Hibiscus.
3. Protect your progress with a simple, high impact routine:
*Scalp Massages: Boost blood flow and nutrition.
*Low Tension Styling: Retain moisture and prevent strain.
*Smart Maintenance: Trim annually and avoid heat to preserve strength.
