Frequently asked questions

Delivery and VAT, collecting an order at a salon instead, which routine to choose, whether the lotion and mask are rinsed out, and when to see a doctor instead.

Ordering and delivery

Do you deliver across South Africa?

Yes. Standard delivery is R100 and takes roughly 3 to 5 working days. Express delivery is R150 and takes 1 to 2 working days. Orders over R770 ship free on the standard service.

Can I collect my order in person instead?

Yes, at either Neofollics Salon Woodlands or Neofollics Salon Brooklyn. Leave a note at checkout naming your preferred salon, or message us after ordering. We'll email you — and text you, if we have a number for you — as soon as it's ready to collect. More on our salons.

Do your prices include VAT?

No. Neofollics South Africa (ZARUXON (PTY) LTD) is not registered for VAT, so no VAT is charged. The price you see is the full product price; delivery is added at checkout.

Can I return something?

Our returns and refunds terms are set out in the refund policy, and delivery terms in the shipping policy.

Choosing a routine

Which routine do I need?

The Hair Growth range is the daily routine, for hair that is thinning or that you want to support. The Scalp Therapy range is a scalp reset, used 3 to 4 times a week, for a scalp that is congested, flaking or uncomfortable. Many people use both. How they fit together.

Can I buy just one product?

You can, but a single product used for a few weeks rarely tells you anything. The routines are designed and priced to be used together for a full hair cycle. Why twelve weeks.

Is this for men or for women?

Both. The routines are chosen by what is happening to your scalp and hair, not by who you are.

Using the products

Is the Growth Lotion rinsed out?

No. It is applied to the scalp daily and left in.

Is the Nourishing Mask rinsed out?

No — and this is the step people most often get wrong. It is a leave-in, applied to the scalp after washing, and best left overnight.

What order does Scalp Therapy go in?

Peeling Serum first, on an unwashed scalp. Then Exfoliating Shampoo to wash it out. Then the Nourishing Mask, left in. The full explanation.

How often should I use Scalp Therapy?

As the packs direct: the Exfoliating Shampoo and Nourishing Mask 3 to 4 times a week, with the Peeling Serum first, on an unwashed scalp, 1 to 2 times a week. Stop if your scalp becomes sore, red or inflamed. What a week looks like.

How long does a bottle last?

It depends on hair length and how often you wash. Products in the Replenishment collection carry a rough replenishment window so you know when to expect to reorder.

Results and expectations

How long before I see anything?

The scalp usually settles first, within a few weeks. Density is the last thing to change, and twelve weeks is the honest minimum before judging it. Take a photograph of your part on day one.

What if nothing has changed after twelve weeks?

That is useful information rather than a reason to repeat the same twelve weeks. Come and talk to us, or see a professional — a free consultation is the sensible next step.

Do I have to keep using it?

If you stop, hair gradually returns to the pattern it had before. Worth knowing at the start.

When to see a doctor instead

When is this not the right answer?

Speak to a doctor, dermatologist or trichologist if your hair loss is sudden or patchy, if your scalp is sore, inflamed, weeping or crusted, if you are losing hair from your eyebrows or body as well, or if the loss started after a new medication. A cosmetic routine is not the right answer to a medical question.

Can I use these while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplement or new scalp treatment during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Salons

Where are your salons?

Neofollics Salon Woodlands, at Woodlands Boulevard Shopping Centre in Garsfontein, Pretoria, and Neofollics Salon Brooklyn, at Brooklyn Mall in Nieuw Muckleneuk, Pretoria. Both offer the free Scalp & Hair Consultation and order collection. More on our salons.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes. The 30-minute Scalp & Hair Consultation, including the Becon scalp analysis, the explanation of your findings and your written home-care plan, costs nothing. Products are recommended only if your results call for them, and buying is never required. How the consultation works.

I run a salon and want to stock the range.
