FAQ

Safe for?

Color-treated, keratin-treated, chemically-treated, and relaxed hair.

Free of?

Sulfate, silicones, phthalates, parabens, mineral oils, gluten, synthetic dyes and fragrances. What you smell is the aroma of the natural ingredients.

Is it vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes and yes!

What is the fragrance of the Prewash?

The Prewash for fine, thin to medium hair has refreshing notes of wild mint and eucalyptus, and the Prewash for thick, curly or coily hair has earthy notes of bergamot, citrus, and vetiver.

Should the Prewash be used on wet or dry hair?

The Prewash should be massaged into your DRY scalp and hair, prior to washing, which allows the nutrients to penetrate at a deeper rate to strengthen, balance and nourish. It also helps balance your hair's pH once you jump in the shower. And it helps prevent everyday damage, which starts with your hair getting wet during your wash days.

How long do I have to keep the Prewash in?

15-20 minutes prior to jumping in the shower is great! If you can keep it in longer, that's great too. Our favorite things to do while we Prewash: workout, sleep, relax.

When can I see results?

After one use, you'll experience softer, more flexible hair. And your scalp will immediately feel more balanced and cleaner. Over regular use of 4-6 weeks, your hair will become stronger, healthier, less shedding, and you will start seeing healthy hair growth.
