Pick a Mixing Ladder

Classic Ladder (Concentrate : Water)

Use Case Ratio Example
Daily / Large Areas 1 : 10 1 cup DiO + 10 cups water
Post‑Workout 1 : 5 1 cup DiO + 5 cups water

  2. Measure concentrate. Choose your ladder/ratio and measure calmly.
  3. Add water. Fill to your total volume. Cap and shake gently.
  4. Apply to intact skin. Let hair go dry‑to‑touch before wraps or tack.
  5. Recheck 15–30 minutes. Watch heat trend, tension, scent carry, color transfer.
