Sweet Orange Soothing Pre-Wash Hair & Scalp Oil

Our blend combines Argan Oil (smooths frizz and adds shine), Coconut Oil (penetrates the hair shaft to strengthen and condition), Sweet Orange Oil (antioxidant-rich and beautifully fragrant), and Rosemary Oil (soothes and refreshes the scalp). It's 100% natural, with no fillers or synthetic padding, so every drop is doing something for your hair or scalp.

A hair mask is applied after washing and conditioning, then rinsed out. Sweet Orange Pre-Wash Oil is the opposite: it goes on dry hair and scalp before you shampoo, forming a protective barrier so shampoo cleanses without stripping your hair's natural moisture. The two work at different stages of your wash routine and can absolutely be used together for the best results.

No, when used as directed. Apply a small amount to dry (not wet) hair and scalp, then shampoo thoroughly to wash it out completely. If hair ever feels greasy afterward, it's usually a sign to use fewer drops or shampoo a little more thoroughly next time.

Most people notice softer, more manageable hair and a soothed scalp after the very first use. With regular use over a few weeks, expect visibly reduced frizz and breakage, more definition (especially for curly hair), and a healthier-feeling scalp overall.

Yes, it's a favourite for curly and textured hair, helping to soften and define curls and making detangling significantly easier. Massage into the scalp and pull the remainder through your lengths and ends where hair tends to be driest.

Many customers use Sweet Orange Pre-Wash Oil alongside their regular shampoo and conditioner (including anti-dandruff formulas) to help calm an itchy or flaky scalp, thanks to the Rosemary Oil in the blend. That said, if you have a diagnosed scalp condition or ongoing symptoms like persistent redness or soreness, we recommend checking with a healthcare professional before introducing any new product.

Yes. The same soothing, moisturising blend that calms an irritated scalp works just as well on beard skin. Many customers use it every other day to reduce dryness, flaking, and irritation underneath the beard while keeping it soft and naturally fragrant.

It's gentle enough that customers do use it on children's hair, particularly for easing detangling. As with any new product, we'd suggest patch-testing first and using a smaller amount, and consulting a doctor if your child has any known skin sensitivities.

Yes. Colour-treated hair tends to be more porous and prone to dryness, so a pre-wash oil can be especially beneficial. There's no reason a correctly applied treatment would affect your colour, though as a general precaution we'd avoid applying oil immediately before a scheduled colour appointment (check with your colourist if unsure).

For most hair types, using it before every wash works well and gives the best cumulative results. If you have fine or low-porosity hair, you may prefer every other wash to avoid any heaviness. Our application guide has more detail based on your hair type.

No, they work together, not instead of one another. Sweet Orange Pre-Wash Oil protects and conditions before shampooing; your regular conditioner restores moisture and smooths the cuticle after. Using both gives you benefits neither delivers alone.

A warm, uplifting Sweet Orange scent. It's subtle enough for daily use, but lovely enough to make wash day feel like a self-care ritual.
