Where Does This Fit in My Routine?

Use before shampooing to prep and detox your scalp while nourishing your strands. For best results, let it sit for at least 10 minutes before washing. Ideal for those looking to extend time between washes, combat buildup, or boost hydration, this treatment works best when used every 2nd to 3rd wash.

Bonus: It also doubles as a leave-in treatment to help repair damaged hair follicles and split ends—simply twist it into your hair ends and leave it in for added nourishment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

What is a scalp microbiome?

Just as our gut has live bacteria — AKA ‘microbes’— so does our scalp. With its own unique ecosystem, the scalp is host to a range of microbes (from bacteria and fungi through to environmental toxins) that live on the scalp’s surface and feed on sebum (your hair’s natural oil). A balanced scalp microbiome is one where diverse bacteria work together as a team to strengthen the skin’s surface layer and create a habitat for follicles to thrive and roots to grow into healthy Straands.

What's the point of a pre-wash scalp oil?

ç√

It may seem counterintuitive to apply a treatment right before washing your hair…but pre-washing is the ultimate healthy hair hack. Pre-wash treatments prime the hair by forming a protective barrier around the strand shaft during the washing process. Our Crown Companion Scalp Oil formula helps bust product build up, fights oil with oil and leaves your head feel extra clean, nourished and read to absorb all the benefits of your full scalp and haircare routine.

What Is Hair Oiling?

Hair oiling is a time-tested tradition that nourishes your scalp and strands while locking in hydration and essential nutrients. With Straand’s modern twist on this ancient practice, you can enjoy all the benefits in just a few easy steps.

How does Straand help my hair?

Treating the skin on your head as well as you treat the skin on your face, hair has a better chance at thriving by focusing on removing product build up, grime and balancing the biome. In tending to your hair through crown care, your scalp microbiome becomes a fertile ground for hair to thrive and grow, while renewing root hydration to give hair serious gloss.

Do I need to rinse it off before shampooing?

Yes! Our pre-wash treatments are designed to be rinsed out before shampooing. Once it’s had time to work its magic (10–30 minutes is ideal), simply rinse it out in the shower, then follow up with your usual shampoo and conditioner. Easy, breezy, nourished scalp.

    A True Game Changer for Scalp & Hair Health!

    The Crown Companion Cleansing Pre-Wash Scalp Oil has been an absolute game-changer for me. It completely eliminated my dry scalp, and I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my hair’s overall health. Not only does my scalp feel more balanced, but my hair looks shinier, stronger, and healthier than ever. Plus, I’ve seen noticeable hair growth since using it! If you struggle with dryness or want to give your hair a serious boost, I highly recommend this product.

    You can have it all

    This pre wash treatment helped my hair growth immensely, since giving birth to my daughter my hairline was visibly thinning and now thanks to this treatment and ongoing use of the daily duo my hair is thicker, shiny and less breakage.

    Immediate relief!

    Love this product. I have tried some other brands "oils" and numerous other dedicated shampoos for my flaky scalp, none of which have really worked. This, combined with the shampoo and conditioner, have made an immediate improvement. What a relief to find something that works.

    The last piece of the puzzle I needed

    I've been using a multitude of Straand products for a few months now, with visible results. But I still wasn't 100% happy. My sister purchased this Pre-Wash Scalp Oil a month ago and raved about it, so I decided to try it as well. Before I started using the oil, I'd have to wash every two days to stay itch free. Using the oil twice a week means I stay itch free for four days - double the time! I'm not scared of going to the hairdresser for fear of my dandruff grossing them out anymore. I'll just go with this oil applied in advance and everything will be fine. Straand's shampoo, conditioner, and crown fix serum are amazing, but Pre-Wash Scalp Oil and Exfoliating Scalp Scrub are now my favourite secret weapons.
