The subtle edge of messy lived in hair has been high on the hair trends lists for the past few years and a higher need for pre-shampoo is upon us.
Can you believe that SPRING is in full effect?!
Let’s spring clean your scalp with some pre-shampoo before summer is here to distracts us!
What is a pre-shampoo you may ask yourself. In today’s post I’m teaching you a little bit about pre-shampooing and telling you my top 5 products!
There are dozens of different hair styling products you can use to create this undone look or you could simply let your hair go without washing for as long as you can.
As a hairstylist in downtown San Francisco, I get an array of different clients. Some want clean hair that just looks dirty and some are trying to make their dirty hair look less dirty!

This list is for everyone though. For those of you that are layering product for multiple days or more or someone who is experiencing dry scalp from stress.
A pre-shampoo is essentially a treatment for your scalp. Some are oil based and some are abrasive. A more oil based pre-shampoo would be ideal for someone with dry scalp where an abrasive treatment would be better for someone with a lot of product build up or flaking.
