How to use the Careloom™ Signature Scalp & Hair Oil Micro-Delivery System.
Simple guide to get the best results
Your Careloom system includes a 0.25mm microneedling stamp, our Signature oil blend, and a disinfection spray bottle. This quick guide will show you how to use them together for the best results. The whole process takes about 10-15 minutes, once or twice a week.
What You'll Need
- Your Careloom stamp & oil
- Your disinfection spray bottle (included)
- Rubbing alcohol 70% (isopropyl alcohol) - available at any pharmacy
- Your regular shampoo
- 10-15 minutes
Step 1: Set Up Your Disinfection Spray
First, fill your spray bottle:
- Get rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl) from any pharmacy or drugstore
- Pour it into your included spray bottle
- You're all set!
Step 2: Prep Your Device & Scalp
About your titanium needles: Your stamp comes with sterile titanium needles, but we recommend disinfecting before every use.
Before each use:
- Spray the needles with the rubbing alcohol
- Let it sit for 2-3 minutes
- Let air dry completely (or wipe with clean cloth)
- Make sure your scalp is clean (no dry shampoo or product buildup)
Step 3: Fill Your Stamp with Oil
Easy loading :
- Use the dropper to fill your stamp with oil
- You only need about 2 droppers full (half the storage of the stamp)
Step 4: Stamp & Apply
- Part your hair to see your scalp
- Hold stamp straight up and down (perpendicular to scalp)
- Gently press and lift - the oil dispenses as you stamp
- Stamp 8-10 times per section
- Move to next area
- Focus on thinning areas or cover entire scalp
What's normal: Light redness (like after a facial)
Not normal: Bleeding (means too much pressure - be gentler!)
Step 5: Let It Work
Leave the oil on for 2-6 hours. You can wrap your hair in a hair towel to avoid getting oil stains on your clothes.
Quick tip: Avoid applying other hair treatments (like minoxidil or finasteride) for 24 hours after stamping.
Step 6: Wash It Out
The key to easy washing:
- Use clarifying shampoo OR wash twice with regular shampoo
- Focus on massaging your scalp under water to remove all the oil
- Second wash removes any residue
Step 7: Clean Your Device
After each use:
- Spray your needles thoroughly with your alcohol spray
- Let it sit for 2-3 minutes
- Rinse under hot running water
- Let air dry completely before storing
How Often?
Use 1 to 2 times per week (example: Sunday and Wednesday)
Consistency is the secret! Most people start noticing healthier hair around 6-8 weeks, with visible new growth by month 3-4.
What to Expect:
After first use: Hair feels fuller and looks healthier
Weeks 1-2: Scalp feels healthier. You may notice some shedding - this is normal! Your scalp is pushing
out weak hairs to make room for stronger ones. Trust the process.
Week 4-6: Less shedding, scalp less visible in photos
Week 8-12: Baby hairs appear, hair texture improves
Month 3-4: Visible new growth and increased density.

Does it hurt?

You'll feel light pressure but no pain. If it hurts, you're pressing too hard.
Can I use other hair products?

I'm losing more hair after starting - is this normal?
I'm losing more hair after starting - is this normal?
Yes! Some shedding in the first 2-3 weeks is completely normal. The
microneedling activates your hair follicles and triggers the natural
hair cycle, which means weaker hairs shed to make room for new,
stronger growth. This is actually a sign the treatment is working.
Keep going - the shedding stops and new growth begins around week 4-6.
