Trim what cannot be restored.
Work with your stylist on the cut and colour plan. We will not pretend oil can fuse a broken fibre back together.
For the grow-out after bleach, colour or heat
Growing out damaged hair? Give every new inch a gentler ritual.
Bleached or broken lengths cannot be unbleached. They can be trimmed, handled with more care and supported with a pre-wash ritual for softness and manageability while you grow forward.

First, the honest part
Oil cannot unbleach a strand that is already damaged.
Once a fibre is split or snapped, no cosmetic can make it virgin hair again. The useful question is what your next wash day—and your next few months—can look like.
Use oil for cosmetic feel.
Carry the pre-wash ritual through your mids and ends, then use only a few drops between washes when your lengths ask for more.
Build one repeatable wash-day ritual.
Measure 2–3 droppers once weekly, massage your scalp, carry the remainder through the lengths, then shampoo as usual.
A realistic grow-out plan
Change what happens next—not the story of what already happened.
Use the right tool for each part of the problem. Our role stays cosmetic and deliberately simple.
| What you are seeing | What helps now | Where our ritual fits |
|---|---|---|
| Split or snapped ends | A realistic trim and lower-friction handling | Cosmetic softness and slip before washing |
| Dry, rough lengths | A consistent conditioning and wash routine | 2–3 droppers through scalp and lengths pre-wash |
| New natural grow-out | A colour plan you can maintain with your stylist | A repeatable scalp-massage ritual—not a growth guarantee |
| Breakage or shedding? | A stylist or clinician can help you tell the difference | It cannot diagnose the source of the hair you are losing |
| A routine you can keep | Simple steps repeated consistently | Oil, leave for one hour or overnight, then shampoo |
The boundary is part of the promise
We can offer a considered cosmetic ritual. We cannot promise to repair bleach damage, stop breakage or change your growth rate.
You cannot undo bleach. You can change what you do next.
One measured pre-wash ritual for your scalp and lengths.

A magical ritual for culry hair growth and relaxation
“Only 14 months apart!!!”
“I absolutely love Hinu's magical hair oil. The top photo was from October 2022 and the bottom from December 2023 (only 14 months apart!!!). After making the decision in September of 2022 to do a big chop, I had a mission to grow my curls as healthily as possible.”

GROWTH HEALTH HEAVEN
“My natural hair journey from a bleach bob.”
“Navigating my natural hair journey from a bleach bob, I've found solace in HINU hair oil. It's not just about the product—it's a deeply personal ritual. The calming scent instantly relaxes my mind, prompting me to slow down and savor the experience of massaging my scalp.”

Beautiful hair oil! It’s saved my hair.
“Due to over bleaching.”
“My hair was falling out due to over bleaching and stress induced hair loss and I’ve noticed since I started using this oil I’ve grown so many new baby hairs. My hair feels softer, healthier and it’s much shinier.”
Quoted from verified, non-incentivised Hair Growth Oil reviews; spelling is preserved. Only Abbie identifies a chronological before-and-after. Her review also names a big chop, no-heat natural routine and 14 months of elapsed time, so the image does not establish HINU as the sole cause. Abbey’s and Alice’s photos are undated and are not presented as before-and-after evidence. Individual experiences vary.
These clips show individual cosmetic experiences and routines. Feel and finish vary, and the clips do not establish repair, breakage or growth results.
Your next wash day, frame by frame
A measured pour. A scalp massage. Care through the ends.
The grow-out is long. The ritual does not have to be: measure, massage, carry through the lengths and wash.
Meet our founder
Growing forward can be a relationship, not a punishment.
“My hair is such a reflection of me—it holds my history, my emotions, my resilience.”
Our founder, Allie Cameron, created HINU after chronic stress changed her relationship with her hair. Drawing on the plant knowledge and intentional care her Nana shared, she built our oil as a ritual of reconnection.
That matters when you are growing out a chapter your hair has already lived through. We do not ask you to erase that history. We offer one measured ritual for caring for the scalp and lengths you have now.

Grow-out FAQs
Questions to answer before your first wash day.
Can Hair Growth Oil repair bleach damage?
No. A cosmetic oil cannot reverse bleaching, fuse a split end or restore a broken fibre to virgin hair. Use HINU for the cosmetic feel and ritual, and work with your stylist on trims and colour decisions.
Why use it before shampoo?
The full scalp-and-lengths application uses 2–3 droppers and is designed as a weekly pre-wash ritual. Leave it for at least one hour or overnight, then shampoo as usual.
Can I use it on my ends between washes?
Yes. The current directions say a few drops on the ends morning, night or as needed. If your hair looks or feels heavy, use less often or keep HINU pre-wash only.
How much do I use for the weekly ritual?
Work 2–3 droppers into your hands, massage into the scalp, carry the remainder through mids and ends, and leave for at least one hour or overnight before washing.
Is the 30ml formula different from the 60ml?
No. Both sizes contain the same formula. The 30ml is the smaller $55 AUD starting size; the 60ml is $85 AUD.
How do I tell breakage from shedding?
Breakage and shedding are different problems and can overlap. A stylist can help assess damage along the fibre; ask a GP or dermatologist about new, widening, patchy or persistent hair loss.
