How to Use Crown Ritual Pre-Wash Scalp Oil

Your scalp deserves its own ritual.

Crown Ritual Pre-Wash Scalp Oil is designed to be used before shampooing to nourish and condition the scalp and hair before cleansing. Adding it to your wash-day routine takes just a few simple steps.

Step 1: Start With Dry Hair

Before shampooing, begin with dry hair and scalp.

Part your hair into sections to make it easier to apply the oil directly where you want it. You don’t need perfect sections—a few parts throughout the scalp are enough.

Step 2: Apply to the Scalp

Apply a small amount of Crown Ritual Pre-Wash Scalp Oil directly along the scalp.

Focus on distributing the oil throughout the scalp rather than completely saturating your hair.

Start small. You can always add more if needed.

Step 3: Massage It In

Using your fingertips, gently massage the oil into your scalp.

Spend a few minutes working across the entire scalp using gentle, circular motions.

Avoid aggressively scratching or rubbing the scalp. The goal is a relaxing ritual, not heavy friction.

Step 4: Work Through the Hair

If your lengths or ends are feeling dry, use any remaining oil on your hands and lightly smooth it through those areas.

This step is optional, but it can add extra conditioning before shampooing.

Step 5: Let Your Crown Ritual Sit

Allow the oil to remain on your scalp and hair before washing according to the product directions.

This is your excuse to slow down for a minute.

Do your skincare. Make your coffee. Put on a playlist. Take a little time for yourself before wash day begins.

Step 6: Shampoo

Wash your hair thoroughly with your normal shampoo.

Concentrate the shampoo primarily on your scalp and roots, where the oil was applied.

If necessary, shampoo a second time to remove any remaining oil or buildup.

Step 7: Condition + Style

Follow with your favorite conditioner and continue your normal hair routine.

That’s it.

Oil. Massage. Wash.

Your Crown Ritual is complete.

How Much Scalp Oil Should You Use?

More oil doesn’t necessarily mean better results.

Start with a small amount and apply it strategically throughout the scalp. The amount you need will vary depending on your hair density, texture, scalp, and how frequently you wash your hair.

Your scalp should feel coated—not drenched.

How Often Should You Use Crown Ritual?

Crown Ritual can be incorporated into your wash-day routine based on what works best for your hair and scalp.

Some people may enjoy pre-wash scalp oiling regularly, while others may prefer using it occasionally when their scalp or hair feels like it needs additional conditioning.

Listen to your scalp and adjust your routine accordingly.

When Do You Use Scalp Oil?

Use Crown Ritual before shampooing, not as the final step of your routine.

The easiest way to remember:

Dry hair → Crown Ritual → Massage → Wait → Shampoo → Condition

Can You Put Crown Ritual on Your Ends?

Yes. While Crown Ritual is primarily a scalp treatment, you can lightly work the oil through dry lengths and ends before shampooing for additional conditioning.

If your hair is fine or becomes weighed down easily, use a very small amount.

Do You Have to Shampoo Scalp Oil Out?

Yes. Crown Ritual is a pre-wash treatment, which means it is designed to be followed by shampoo.

Thorough cleansing helps remove excess oil while leaving scalp oiling as a nourishing step in your wash-day routine rather than a heavy leave-in treatment.

                     Your Crown. Your Ritual.

Scalp care doesn’t have to be complicated.

A few intentional minutes before shampooing can transform an ordinary wash day into something that feels a little more like self-care.

Apply. Massage. Breathe. Wash.
