This is a pretty basic question which I’m sure different people will have different answers to. But when you apply your spray, do you rub it in or just spray and leave it there to do it’s own thing? I’ve already asked Radman and Steve, there answers were great. But I’m curious to know what other experienced users on here do and why. Radman gave me a great response on why he rubs it in > [@](#): > > More surface are covered equals more diffusion, but it’s no good if your clothes are blocking it. Whereas when I asked Steve he told me he prefers to leave it. So this got me curious. Look forward to reading what you have to say 🙂 ---

I use the spray sweep method. I also use how you described Radman used it. Spray sweep essentially is about 3-4 inches from your skin and spraying as your depressing the top. I let it dry and that’s about it. ---

one or two inches from target area and I would spray. Sometimes if I spray a lot of mones, it starts to collect and drip down my chest, that’s when I would start rubbing. I’m a little cautious when I spray at the neck for I feel like some of the mones aren’t going on the neck. ---

I just spray it on my neck like I do cologne. I don’t have much exposed skin now that the weather is cold here in Canada, so my neck is pretty much my only option. What do you guys think of hair apps? do they work well? ---

Place liquid into the power washer and… NO just kidding. I use a spot spray on the neck areas. A Spray and sweep on the wrist toward the rest of the forearm. I do use 1 or 2 sprays of [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) on my hair before styling and gell’n. ODG ---

What do you guys think of hair apps? do they work well? I’ve done it, just with the socials though. I heard -none is sticky in hair, but some members have done it. If you know what you’re doing and know the signs, you shouldn’t have a problem, just make sure you get a nice clean wash. ---

I just try to hit skin most of the time without getting it in my eye. I do the spray and sweep on my for arms but I just spray and leave on my neck. ---

Aim nozzle towards body, avoid eyes, press down. 😃 Sorry, must be some residual Instant Jerk. I have yet to try it in my hair, because I tend to be allergic to strong perfumes and colognes, but I may try it with [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/). Although, I wonder if spraying Instant Jerk in the hair would prevent the BO smell I get with skin application… Here in Texas, you sweat. Period. So I’ve found that forearms and the base of the neck are good if you want it to stick. When applying to forearms, I tend to sweep. When applying to wrists, I tend to spray one and rub. Never put much thought into it, really. ---

If you know what you’re doing and know the signs, you shouldn’t have a problem, just make sure you get a nice clean wash. WArren once stated that it took 8 to 10 hours for much -none to dissipate from his hair. He said it was still there, but faint; noticeable hits/ reactions tend to go down after 8 hours. It was in his journal or post somewhere 😉 ---

I typically apply the first spray directly onto my left wrist, since my right hand is steadier, and at close proximity, to minimize losses as much as possible. I then gently rub my wrists together to increase surface area a bit, then rub them on my neck. By this point, there is little to no liquid left. I would do the spray sweep but I feel like a lot would be lost. The second spray I apply directly to my neck and pull it around. Depending on the molecule, I do sometimes apply to my hair. For the socials, hair is a great diffuser. Big surface area, lots of motion, it places the [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) at other people’s nose level, and some people already just like to lean in and sniff your hair. I’ve put -none on my hair, but that was when I was young and inexperienced (haha, as if I’m not still those things) and I haven’t done it since then, more because I just haven’t thought to than because of any negative effects. If I’m going for self effects, I either spray my wrist or neck then sort of scoop up the liquid with a finger and deposit under my nose or on my cheeks, or I just close my eyes, stop breathing, and spray myself directly in the face. 😃 ---

wow. much larger reply than I ever expected to receive. It seems like there’s a lot of variation in peoples personal techniques, but the spray and sweep is definitely a favourite. I’m gonna have a fun time testing out all these different technique appliances 🙂 Thanks for all the replies each and every one of you are awesome 😃 ---
