Erm, clear as mud, not.

At www.rapidlash.co.uk/rapid-hair, after clicking user guide, it says:

"Apply once daily after washing and conditioning hair, directly onto scalp. Use preferably at night time, dispense two pumps of product into hand and massage gently onto roots, working in sections, leave in."

Whilst at www.rapidlash.co.uk/faqs, after clicking the rapid hair tab, it says:

"Apply RapidHair™ once daily after washing and conditioning hair as usual, or directly onto dry scalp, preferably at bedtime. Dispense one pump of product into your hand and massage gently onto the roots of the hair....Two pumps of product should cover the entire scalp evenly from crown to the sides and the back of the head."

Whilst at www.lookfantastic.com/blog/hair/the-rapid-range/, it says:

"Directions for use:

• Dispense one pump of product into your hand and massage gently onto the roots of the hair, working in sections. Two pumps of product should cover the entire scalp evenly from crown to the sides and the back of the head.
• Use once daily after washing and conditioning hair as usual."

and makes no mention of prferably at bedtime and/or about onto dry scalp.

So...

do they mean it is best applied at bedtime, on dry scalp, but you can alternatively use it on wet hair, regardless of time, that has just been washed and/or conditioned ...?

or

do they mean, it is best applied at bedtime, on dry scalp, and hair should have been washed and/or conditioned and dried previously (same day or otherwise), thus be 'clean' at time of application....?

Also...

do they mean for it to be applied directly onto scalp from the pump?

or

onto hands and then onto scalp?

And....

are they suggesting one pump only in total, or one pump to start with followed by a second to cover whole area if necessary, or two pumps total, applied one at a time, regardless of whether first covers whole area or not?

Phew......

Or, are they just not sure either and it could be any combination of the foregoing and/or any other possible permutations the various 'directions' 'instructions' might imply ?

Please excuse any errors and/or omissions, on the longer than intended previous post - eg at, 'and are they suggesting', I may have forgotten to say...

or two pumps of product, in total, applied together at one time.

Basically, I think perhaps it is a maximum of two pumps (not sure if directly onto scalp or via hands), preferably at night, on dry hair, applied to roots, working outwards from crown area until all of scalp covered.

But maybe others think differently.

Lol Butterflymum!

My take is we apply on freshly washed hair at night, 1-2 pumps on scalp (not sure if before or after blowdrying) 1 pump first then the 2nd! Also not sure if this means we have to wash hair every day?

I know, I did get a little bit carried away ....but...well....it is always much better when instructions are given clearly....leads to much less confusion and fewer possible misinterpretations (at least that's usually the idea).

On side of product box it says:

"Massage onto hair and scalp once a day, do not rinse", which longer haired users could interpret as them needing to make sure product is not just on the scalp area, but down the length of their hair too [albeit I don't myself think this is meant to be the case]. This is also perhaps implied (probably not intentionally) by the illustration of someone with long (and thick looking - wonder if this is after 60 days) hair. The 'hair' is in two shades, possibly giving impression the lighter shade is area where the product has been applied.

Then, back of box and leaflet inside box 'sing from the same hymn-sheet' as each other and say:

"once daily, preferably at bedtime. Dispense two (2) pumps of product directly onto scalp and massage briskly."

Not a mention of onto hands; washed hair; etc.

How does that song go again....erm......

"Mud, mud, g l o r i o u s mud....."

Methinks I need some .

OK we are asking...!

Meanwhile.... the feedback thread is now live!

We have a response - see below

Dear Butterflymum,
Thank you for your note about RapidHair. We appreciate the detail you have gone into and hope we can answer your questions.

Directions for use:
Depending on the area you wish to treat, please follow the instructions below.
If you are only targeting a specific area and not the whole scalp, dispense one pump of product into your hand and massage in gently with your fingertips onto the roots of the hair.
If you are looking to target the whole head, two pumps of the product should cover the entire scalp evenly from crown to the sides and the back of the head, working in sections.

RapidHair should be used once daily on a dry clean scalp. If the hair has been washed, please ensure scalp and hair are completely dry.
Do not rinse and style as usual. Wash hands with soapy water after use.

We cannot control what independent websites states, however we can request amends to the text, which I will send through to LookFantastic. We will also amend our UK website to correct our inconsistencies.

Thank you again for taking the time to read up and comment on RapidHair.

Warm Regards
RapidHair UK Customer Care

So one answer says to only use on dry hair and one says it's fine on damp hair? My brain hurts

I wash my hair on a night and tend to sleep with damp hair, so I've been putting the product on in the morning with my beautifully dry hair.
