About the product
Turn wash day into a restorative ritual for dry, damaged lengths. Rinse Ritual™ Length Repair Pre-Wash Hair Oil is a rich pre-shampoo treatment developed to deeply condition dry, damaged hair, smooth roughness, and help protect weakened lengths and ends from moisture loss during washing.
Use this 100% natural pre-shampoo treatment for damaged hair as part of your hair oiling routine, either as targeted care for brittle ends or throughout lengths that feel dry, porous, and difficult to manage. Its rich texture delivers extra nourishment where hair often needs it most, helping leave stressed lengths softer, smoother, and more manageable after washing.
How it works
Think of pre-wash hair oil as extra protection for damaged lengths before shampooing. The ends are the oldest and often most porous part of the hair, which makes them especially vulnerable to moisture loss, friction, and further dryness during washing. Unlike a traditional hair oil for damaged hair or repair serum, which is typically used as a finishing or leave-in step, this pre-wash treatment is applied before cleansing to help shield dry, damaged, or brittle lengths and ends from moisture loss during washing. This repairing pre-wash hair oil is specially designed to care for both hair and scalp, turning hair oiling into a nourishing ritual from roots to ends.
The rich blend pairs castor oil with organic olive and baobab oils to help replenish moisture in very dry, porous hair and improve softness and flexibility. Jojoba and sunflower seed oils help condition and smooth the hair’s surface, while avocado and macadamia oils provide extra nourishment to dry, brittle strands.
Rosehip oil and vitamin E add antioxidant care, while rosemary and lavandin oils complete the blend. Together, the oils help smooth frizz, retain moisture, and restore a feeling of softness and shine, leaving stressed lengths more supple, well cared for, and better protected both during and after washing.

How to use
Apply this pre-wash hair oil to dry hair before shampooing. Divide the hair into sections and work the oil through the lengths and ends, concentrating on particularly dry, damaged, or brittle areas. Apply a smaller amount near the roots and massage gently into the scalp if desired.
Leave the pre-shampoo oil on for 10–15 minutes as a targeted treatment for split ends and damaged lengths. Shampoo and rinse thoroughly, repeating if necessary, then follow with conditioner to complete your routine.
Use once or twice a week as part of your hair oiling routine. Very dry, coarse, porous, or chemically treated hair may benefit from using this pre-shampoo treatment for damaged hair before every wash. For a more intensive treatment, leave the oil on overnight 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 pre-shampoo oil is designed for long, dry, damaged, porous, or chemically treated hair. Hair oiling can be especially beneficial for damaged lengths because the ends are older, more porous, and more exposed to friction and moisture loss during washing. Applying oil before shampoo helps give these vulnerable areas extra nourishment and protection, while smoothing roughness and helping brittle ends feel softer and more manageable. It is particularly beneficial for rough lengths and ends that feel fragile or are prone to splitting.
-
Will the oil make my hair greasy or heavy?
Hair oiling treatments are designed to be used before washing and shampooed out afterwards, giving dry lengths and ends rich nourishment without leaving the same heavy or greasy finish as a leave-in oil. If your hair is fine or easily weighed down, start with a smaller amount and focus mainly on the mid-lengths and ends. Make sure to rinse thoroughly and wash the oil out well with shampoo.
-
Which Rinse Ritual™ Pre-Wash Oil should I choose?
Choose the oil that best matches your main hair or scalp concern:
- Curl Defrizz + Define: For dry, frizz-prone curls and waves that need more softness and definition.
- Dry Scalp Relief: For a dry, tight, itchy, or sensitive-feeling scalp in need of soothing moisture.
- 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: A pre-wash hair oil for split ends and long, damaged lengths that need extra nourishment, softness, and care.
Got more than one concern? Mix and match — use one pre-shampoo oil on the scalp and another through the lengths and ends.
