Described by JVN at the brand's UK launch event as "like Windex for your scalp", the lightweight Complete Pre-Wash Scalp Oil (£24) helps to clarify and nourish without leaving any greasy residue in its wake. It also works well for those with thinning hair by helping to reduce breakage. Pop it on your scalp for 15 minutes before you wash your hair, and you're golden.
Lucy says: This is a super-fluid formula that's not at all heavy or greasy feeling, and it really delivers on its promise of not leaving any residue behind. I don't struggle with a dry scalp very often, but I definitely haven't experienced any flakiness after using this little bottle before I wash my hair. A great hair-routine staple.
Tori says: Applying oil to my roots preshampooing isn't something I did in my routine prior to trying this product, but I've noticed such a huge difference in my scalp since. I've started applying this to my roots a couple of hours before washing my hair that evening (WFH perks) along with a hair mask on the ends, and I've definitely noticed a huge difference in how shiny my hair is. I was initially worried that it would make my scalp greasy but didn't find that at all.
Kara says: Although I don't have a dry scalp, occasionally oiling my scalp before shampooing is a staple in my routine (as it is for many people with Afro or multitextured hair). I found that JVN's Pre-Wash Scalp Oil was super moisturising and lightweight, leaving my curls a bit silkier at the root. Also, if you love getting braids done, this product is great for applying on your partings and around your hairline to soothe any irritation from the synthetic Kanekalon braiding hair and offers some extra protection for your edges.
