Pre-shampoo
A pre-shampoo, also called a pre-wash treatment, is a product you use before your regular shampoo. It is applied to dry or damp hair and targets problems such as dryness, damage, oily hair or a sensitive scalp. A pre-shampoo optimally prepares your hair and scalp for the cleansing that follows and allows your shampoo to do its job better. Read more >>

The benefits of a pre-shampoo
A pre-shampoo can have different functions, depending on the type of product. The main benefits are:
Protecting the hair
Many pre-shampoos form a protective layer around the length and ends, reducing the stress on your hair during washing. This prevents extra dryness and breakage.
Intense nourishment
Oil-rich pre-wash treatments penetrate deep into the hair and help retain moisture. This is especially ideal for dry, damaged or coloured hair.
Better cleansing
Especially with a product that focuses on cleansing, such as an exfoliating or purifying pre-shampoo, product build-up is removed. This allows your regular shampoo to cleanse hair more easily and makes your scalp feel fresher.
Who is a pre-shampoo suitable for?
A pre-shampoo is suitable for almost any hair type, but offers particular benefits for:
- Dry or damaged hair
- Curly hair or curls that are prone to frizz
- Fine hair types that get oily easily
- Coloured hair that needs extra protection
- Scalp problems such as flaking, sensitivity or build-up
How do you use a pre-shampoo?
Usage depends on the type of pre-shampoo, but generally follow these steps:
- Apply to dry or slightly damp hair. Use enough product and spread it on the lengths or scalp, depending on its function.
- Let it soak in for a while. The soaking time varies from 1 to 10 minutes. For intensive treatments, it may be longer.
- Rinse out and follow with your normal shampoo and conditioner for optimal results.
Types of pre-shampoos
There are several varieties, each with its own purpose:
Oils
Perfect for nourishment, shine and protection.
Repairing treatments
Target damaged hair from styling or colour treatments.
Exfoliating pre-shampoos
Remove build-up and intensively cleanse the scalp.
Moisturising pre-washes
