About the product
Turn wash day into a soothing ritual for both scalp and lengths. Rinse Ritual™ Dry Scalp Relief Pre-Wash Hair Oil is a gentle pre-shampoo treatment that helps replenish moisture and comfort a dry, tight, itchy, or sensitive-feeling scalp before cleansing.
This 100% natural moisturizing scalp oil combines nourishing organic sunflower seed, sweet almond, jojoba, and baobab oils with calming oat, calendula, and chamomile extracts. Bisabolol and evening primrose oil help care for sensitive-feeling skin, while vitamin E completes the nourishing blend. Together, they help reduce feelings of dryness and tightness while caring for both scalp and hair.
How it works
Think of pre-wash hair oil as a little extra care before shampoo. Hair oiling for dry scalp can be especially beneficial because shampooing may leave an already dry scalp feeling even more stripped or uncomfortable. Unlike a traditional hair oil that is typically used as a finishing step, Rinse Ritual™ Dry Scalp Relief Pre-Wash Hair Oil is applied before washing to deliver moisture and comfort while helping protect the scalp from drying out during cleansing. The result is a well-cared-for scalp and a fresh start after every wash. The blend is designed to nourish both scalp and lengths, turning the pre-wash step into a complete ritual from roots to ends.
A dry scalp can feel tight, itchy, or uncomfortable, especially during colder weather or after frequent washing. Rinse Ritual™ Dry Scalp Relief Pre-Wash Hair Oil helps replenish moisture before shampooing, giving the scalp extra care when it needs it most. The nourishing blend can also be worked lightly through dry lengths and ends.
Use it whenever your scalp feels dry, tight, or in need of extra comfort. By making hair oiling for dry scalp part of your wash-day routine, you get the benefits of a rich oil treatment that is washed out afterwards, helping avoid a heavy or greasy finish after washing.

How to use
Apply this pre-wash hair oil directly to a dry scalp before shampooing. Part the hair into sections to distribute the oil evenly, then massage it gently into the scalp using your fingertips. Apply any remaining product lightly through dry lengths and ends.
Leave the pre-shampoo oil on for 10–15 minutes. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly, repeating the shampoo if needed. Follow with conditioner on the lengths and ends.
Use once or twice a week, or whenever your scalp needs extra moisture and comfort. Make hair oiling for dry scalp part of your regular wash-day routine, or leave the oil on overnight for a more intensive treatment and wash it out the following morning.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why has hair oiling become such a popular pre-wash ritual?
Hair oiling and pre-shampoo treatments has become a popular way to prepare both hair and scalp before wash day. By applying oil before shampoo, the hair gets an extra layer of protection and care before cleansing, while dry flakes, styling residue, and buildup can be softened so they are easier to wash away.
It also gives dry lengths and ends extra protection before they are exposed to water and shampoo, which can sometimes leave the hair feeling stripped or dry. The idea is simple: nourish first, cleanse second. This helps create a fresher, more cared-for starting point after every wash and turns hair oiling into an easy ritual that can be adapted to different hair and scalp needs.
-
What hair types is it for?
This scalp oil is intended for anyone experiencing a dry, tight, sensitive-feeling, or itchy scalp. Hair oiling for dry scalp can be especially beneficial because shampooing may leave an already dry scalp feeling even more stripped or uncomfortable. Applying oil before washing gives the scalp extra moisture and nourishment before cleansing, helping support a more comfortable, balanced feel after shampooing.
-
Can I use hair oiling if my scalp is sensitive?
The formula has been specifically developed as a hydrating scalp treatment for itchy scalp, with soothing ingredients such as oat, calendula, chamomile, and bisabolol. As sensitivity can vary from person to person, we recommend patch-testing the hair oil for dry scalp on a small area first and leaving it on for a shorter period during the first use if your scalp is very sensitive.
-
Will a scalp oil make my roots greasy?
Hair oiling treatments are designed to be used before washing and shampooed out afterwards. This allows you to give the hair intensive oil-based care without leaving the same amount of oil behind as with a traditional leave-in hair oil. If you have very fine hair or curls that are easily weighed down, we recommend starting with a smaller amount. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and wash the oil out well with shampoo.
-
Which Rinse Ritual™ Pre-Wash Hair Oil should I choose?
Pick the pre-wash hair and scalp oil that best matches your main concern:
- Curl Defrizz + Define: For dry, frizz-prone curls and waves that need more softness and definition.
- Dry Scalp Relief: A moisturizing scalp oil for dry, tight, itchy, or sensitive-feeling scalps in need of soothing moisture and comfort.
- Flake Control: For visible dry flakes and buildup that need loosening before shampooing.
- Hair Glossing: For dull or rough hair that needs enhanced smoothness and shine.
- Length Repair: For dry, damaged, or brittle lengths and split-end concerns.
Got more than one concern? Mix and match — use one pre-shampoo oil on the scalp and another through the lengths and ends.
