💡 **Stop Washing Your Scalp Wrong**

You’ve been doing it backwards. Shampoo first, then oil? That’s for straight hair panic. Coily hair needs the oil *before* the water hits — or your scalp stays tight and thirsty.

The real trick? This pre-wash oil made my scalp stop flaking within *one* wash cycle. Not three. One.

🔬 **Scalp First, Shampoo Second**

$28 for 4oz. The claim that got me: “Reverse wash for coily scalps that never feel clean.” Sold. It’s a thick green oil you massage in 15 minutes before you shower.

1

Penetrating nozzle

Actually reaches your scalp through dense coils — no more oil-on-forehead accidents

2

No residue formula

Washes out completely with one shampoo pass. No greasy第三天 scalp.

3

pH 5.5 balanced

Won’t strip your natural sebum like those “clarifying” disasters

✨ **The Ingredient List Isn’t Lying**

Four oils. No fillers. No “proprietary blend” nonsense. Each one does a job — not just smells expensive.

  • Moringa Oil: Dissolves old product buildup without sulfates
  • Baobab Oil: Soaks into the scalp in 90 seconds — no waiting overnight
  • Jojoba Oil: Mimics your scalp’s natural oil so it stops overproducing
  • Vitamin E: Keeps the bottle from going rancid. Practical, not sexy.

💧 **Thick. Green. Smells Like Earth.**

Texture is exactly what you’d want — viscous enough to stay on your scalp, not drip down your neck like cheap serums. First impression: “This is going to be a mess.” It wasn’t. Massaged in clean, zero slip-and-slide.

Week 2 surprise: My edges stopped breaking. I wasn’t expecting that. The oil softened the new growth without weighing down my curls.

💡

One Thing: Section your hair into 4-6 parts before applying. Don’t try to wing it in the shower — you’ll miss half your scalp.

📊 **Did It Actually Work?**

Scalp itch: gone by day 4. Flakes: reduced 70%. But my curls didn’t get shinier — that’s not what this does. It’s a scalp treatment, not a curl definer.
