Pre-wash oils create a protective barrier that helps reduce hygral fatigue—the repeated swelling and deswelling of hair when it gets wet. This protects the cuticle, limiting frizz and breakage.
Key Benefits
- Reduces friction and mechanical damage while washing
- Helps retain moisture for softer, smoother strands
- Boosts visible shine after rinse-out
Apply a light layer to mid-lengths and ends 5–20 minutes before shampooing. Rinse and cleanse as normal.
