Four Formulas | One Ritual
Why pre-wash scalp rituals work •• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••
Pre-wash rituals help prepare the scalp before shampooing. By applying oil to a dry scalp, massaging with intention, and letting it sit before washing, you create a moment to loosen buildup, support comfort, and care for the scalp more directly.
This is not a leave-in oil. It is a reset ritual designed to be used before you wash.

The Ritual •• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ ••
1. Apply to dry scalp
Section the hair and apply directly to the scalp where you need support most.
2. Massage for 3–5 minutes
Use slow circular motions to help distribute the oil and turn your wash day into a grounded ritual.
3. Leave on 10–60 minutes, then shampoo
Wash thoroughly, focusing shampoo at the scalp first.

FAQ
How often do I use it?
Answer:
Most people use their Raíz & Rayo ritual 1–2 times per week before shampooing. Frequency can vary depending on your scalp’s needs and how often you wash.
Will it make my scalp greasy?
Answer:
Because this is a pre-wash ritual, it is designed to be shampooed out. When used as directed and washed thoroughly from the scalp, it should not function like a leave-in oil.
Which trio should I start with?
Answer:
If you are new to Raíz & Rayo, a trio set is the best place to begin. It gives you the chance to experience multiple formulas and discover which ritual feels best for your scalp. If you are unsure, start with the quiz.
How long do I leave it on?
Answer:
Leave it on for 10 to 60 minutes before washing. You can keep it shorter for a quick reset or longer when you want a more intentional ritual moment.
Can I use it on color-treated hair?
Answer:
Yes, it is designed as a pre-wash scalp ritual and can generally be used on color-treated hair. As with any new product, patch testing and checking with your color professional is wise if you have specific concerns.
Is this a leave-in oil?
Answer:
No. Raíz & Rayo is a pre-wash scalp ritual meant to be applied before shampooing and then washed out.
