Shop Now →What should you look for in a hair growth kit?
Look for a kit whose products suit each other, come with clear steps and list ingredients you can read. A kit is simply two or more products sold together, so what matters is whether the pieces make a routine you will actually follow.
- Matching scents. If the products share a scent, or are both unscented, they will not clash with each other or with your cologne.
- Clear steps. You should know which product goes on when. An oil is a conditioning step, usually before shampooing, while a balm is a styling step after washing.
- Readable ingredient lists. Named oils and butters are easier to judge than a label such as "growth complex".
- Cosmetic claims. Be wary of any kit that promises results or timelines. No oil grows hair by itself.
- A light styling step. A heavy styling product on top of an oil can leave hair looking flat or greasy.
What is inside the Knightsmen Hair Growth Starter Kit?
The Hair Growth Starter Kit includes one Organic Hair Oil and one Organic Hair Balm, in your choice of scent. Both are handcrafted in small batches in Toronto, Canada, and made with certified organic ingredients. The kit page refers you to the individual product pages for the full ingredient lists, and the hair oils list organic castor seed oil among their ingredients.
The oil is the conditioning step and the balm is the styling step: the hair balm pages describe a light hold from shea butter and beeswax. No oil grows hair by itself. Our hair oils are cosmetics formulated to help promote healthy hair growth as part of a routine, and they are not a medical treatment.
Which scent should you choose?
Choose the scent you like best, because the oil and the balm come in the same four, so the two pieces of the kit match. To try before you commit, the Hair Oil Discovery Set has a small bottle of each oil scent, and the Organic Hair Balm Variety Set has all four balms in 1 oz tins. Scent is a matter of taste, and the unscented Classic pair is the simplest choice if you are unsure.
| Scent | Character |
|---|---|
| Classic (unscented) | No added scent, for men who do not want fragrance competing with cologne |
| Bergamot | Fresh citrus, clean without being loud |
| Lavender | Light and floral |
| Tea Tree | Clean, sharp and herbal; the scent fades quickly |
How do you use the hair oil step?
Use the oil on a wash day, before you shampoo. Start with a small amount, and keep in mind that opinions differ on oiling the scalp: Cleveland Clinic quotes a dermatologist who advises against putting oil directly on it, so ask a dermatologist first if your scalp is flaky or easily irritated.
- Warm 5 to 8 drops between your palms, using fewer for short or fine hair.
- Work the oil through dry hair, starting at the lengths. If you choose to oil the scalp, part the hair and massage a small amount in with your fingertips, in circular motions, for two to three minutes.
- Leave it on for 30 minutes or more.
- Shampoo it out as normal.
- Repeat up to three or four times a week if your hair stays comfortable.
If you would like a single bottle to start with, Organic Hair Oil | Classic is the unscented version, with no essential oils added.
How do you use the hair balm step?
Use the balm after washing, on towel-dried to damp hair, as the styling step. Warm a dime-sized amount between your palms until it turns to a thin film, work it through the mid-lengths to the ends, and style as usual. The balm gives a light hold, so it suits everyday styles rather than a stiff finish.
A small amount goes a long way, and if your hair looks flat or greasy, use less next time. The balm is a separate step from the oil, so you can use it on days you skip the oil. At the end of the day, wash it out with your regular shampoo. Organic Hair Balm | Classic is the unscented balm.
How do the oil and balm fit into one routine?
The oil is a wash-day step and the balm is a daily step. On a wash day, apply the oil first and leave it on for 30 minutes or more, shampoo it out, then style with the balm. On other days, use the balm alone. Putting balm over unwashed oil can leave hair looking greasy.
Hair grows slowly, on average about 4 to 6 inches a year, according to Cleveland Clinic. Judge the routine by how your hair feels and looks, not by a calendar, and see a doctor or dermatologist about sudden or patchy hair loss.

Frequently asked questions
Does a hair growth kit work better than hair oil alone?
A kit does not make the oil stronger; it adds a styling step. The oil is a conditioning step used before washing, and the balm is a finishing step used after, so the kit suits men who want both. If you only want to condition your hair, the oil on its own is enough.
What is in the Knightsmen Hair Growth Starter Kit?
One Organic Hair Oil and one Organic Hair Balm in the scent you choose: Classic (unscented), Bergamot, Lavender or Tea Tree. The kit page refers you to the individual oil and balm product pages for the full ingredient lists. Check the kit page for the current price and what is included.
Which scent should I choose?
Classic has no added scent, which suits you if you do not want fragrance competing with cologne. Bergamot is fresh and citrusy, Lavender is light and floral, and Tea Tree is clean and herbal and fades quickly. The oil and balm come in the same four scents, so you can match them.
Can I use the oil and balm on the same day?
Yes, as separate steps. Use the oil first, leave it on for 30 minutes or more and shampoo it out, then style with the balm on towel-dried hair. Putting balm over unwashed oil can leave hair looking greasy, and on days you skip the oil you can use the balm alone.
Will the kit help with thinning hair or hair loss?
The kit is a cosmetic routine for conditioning and styling your hair; it is not a treatment for hair loss. Thinning and shedding have many possible causes, so see a doctor or dermatologist to find out why. The American Academy of Dermatology says that to get an accurate diagnosis it helps to see a board-certified dermatologist.
