Skincare for your scalp? It just makes sense! The Pre-Wash Booster Pack is your glow-up ritual before you even reach for shampoo. Packed with active-rich treatments, this duo primes, detoxes, and drenches your scalp in hydration. Because your roots deserve the same level of care as your T-zone.

What’s Included:

  • 1x Crown Companion Cleansing Pre-Wash Scalp Oil
  • 1x Halo Hydrator Hydrating Pre-Wash Scalp Mask
  • 1x Dual Use Scalp Mask Applicator

What Does This Routine Do? This set delivers a double-shot of scalp care, combining oil-based detox and hydration with a skin-calming jelly mask. Use the Crown Companion Oil to break down buildup and rebalance with a nutrient-rich blend of Squalane, Jojoba, and Rosemary Extract. Then on every other wash day, follow with the Halo Hydrator, packed with Aloe Vera, Niacinamide, and Wastar Pink Berry, to drench your scalp in hydration and calm redness, dryness, or irritation. The applicator tool ensures precise product placement, even in those hard-to-reach areas.

Helps To:

  • Deliver an intensive moisture boost before cleansing
  • Remove buildup and soothe dry, flaky, or stressed scalps
  • Balance oil levels while restoring the scalp’s barrier
  • Prime the scalp for stronger, healthier hair growth

Made For: Perfect for advanced scalp care lovers, this set is ideal for those with dry, flaky, or combination scalps, or anyone looking to add an extra layer of care and moisture to their routine. Safe for all hair types, including sensitive, colour-treated, or protective-style wearers.

How To

PRE-WASH MASK

  • Apply directly to the scalp, sectioning the hair as needed to get directly to the root and massage in.
  • Leave on for 10 to 30 minutes, or overnight for an added moisture hit.
  • Rinse out thoroughly and follow with your preferred shampoo and conditioner.
  • Use up to two times per week.


PRE-WASH OIL

  • Section dry hair and apply several drops directly to your scalp, roots and even through your ends, if desired.
  • Massage into the scalp using our Exfoliating Scalp Brush for next level relaxation and leave on for 10-30 minutes or overnight if you’re after a more intense treatment.
  • Shampoo, condition and watch this cocktail transform your scalp and strands. Keep it up 1-2 times a week to stimulate growth. 

HINT Curly-haired friends, this one's for you! Apply this scalp oil directly to your strands while styling to help tame frizz and boost shine.

Where Does This Fit in My Routine?

The Pre-Wash Booster Pack is designed to slot into your weekly wash routine as a targeted pre-shampoo treatment—but not all at once. Alternate between the Crown Companion Oil and Halo Hydrator Scalp Mask on wash days depending on what your scalp needs. Use the Crown Companion when you’re feeling oily, congested, or in need of a deep detox. Opt for the Halo Hydrator when your scalp feels dry, tight, or irritated and could use a moisture surge. Apply your chosen treatment 1–2 times a week, leave on for 10–30 minutes, then rinse and continue with your usual shampoo and conditioner.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Do I need to use the whole STRAAND system to see results?

Nope! But we do recommend using at least 2–3 steps together for the best results (think: pre-wash + shampoo + serum). Every product is effective on its own, but they’re designed to be even more powerful as a team.

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.

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?

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.

I have psoriasis/eczema/sensitive skin. Can I still use this?

Most STRAAND products are suitable for sensitive skin as they are free from sulfates and parabens. But if you have conditions like psoriasis or eczema, we always recommend a patch test first and consulting your dermatologist or doctor to be safe.

Can I use the Halo Hydrator on other areas of my body?

Absolutely. Halo Hydrator is powered by skincare-grade ingredients, so it's gentle enough to use on dry patches like elbows, knees, or even your face. Just do a quick patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin. Hydration wherever you need it most? We love a multitasker.

    I only use Straand products on my hair now, after trying many many other products on my notoriously oily but flakey hair

    Game changers.

    I've used both the oil and the masque, they have both left my scalp feeling hydrated and not at all tight. I think the oil is helping with some hair loss I'm dealing with too. I love both of these

    Great results

    These products used as described work wonders.

    My scalp was the bottom of a cornflake box and honestly Straand products have been amazing.

    I use the mask every 3rtd day and leave on overnight and my hair and scalp feel great.
