Organic Pre-Wash Scalp Oil: Your Ultimate Solution for Healthy Hair
Your scalp responds to everything—sleep, stress, seasons, styling, and life. No.4 The Rebalancer is a scalp-first, pre-shampoo oil created to help detox what lingers, support scalp comfort, and reinforce a more stable, healthy-feeling scalp ecosystem over time.
This is your “return to baseline” formula: grounding, supportive, and designed to help your roots feel less reactive and more resilient.
This rich yet wearable ritual blend features evening primrose, borage, pumpkin seed, black seed, oat kernel, and tsubaki oils to support a healthier-feeling follicle environment. A focused botanical complex of ashwagandha, shatavari, red clover, tulsi, brahmi, and peony supports stress resilience and transition care, while modern actives like squalane, oil-dispersed caffeine, and CoQ10 support microcirculation and antioxidant defense. Finished with clary sage, geranium, ylang ylang, hinoki, cedarwood, rosemary, and rose for a grounded, emotionally balancing ritual.
What is Organic Pre-Wash Scalp Oil?
The Organic Pre-Wash Scalp Oil is a nourishing treatment developed to promote a healthy scalp and enhanced hair vitality. By applying this oil before washing, you prepare your scalp for cleansing, helping to protect it from the drying effects of shampoo. Ingredients are carefully selected to provide moisture and balance, ensuring your scalp stays hydrated and your hair looks vibrant. This isn’t just any product; it focuses on the roots of your hair, addressing issues from the source.
Benefits of Using Our Scalp Oil
Using Organic Pre-Wash Scalp Oil can significantly improve your hair's overall health. It provides essential nutrients that may reduce dryness and flakiness. Because it conditions your scalp before washing, it allows your hair care products to work more effectively, resulting in stronger strands. Many users report softer, more manageable hair after consistent use. So, if you want to achieve salon-quality results at home, this pre-wash oil is a game-changer.
How to Incorporate It Into Your Routine
Incorporating Organic Pre-Wash Scalp Oil into your hair care routine is simple and effective. Start by applying a few drops directly to your scalp and gently massaging it in. Allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes or overnight for a deep conditioning treatment. Then, wash it out with your favorite shampoo. This routine not only promotes a healthy scalp but also transforms your hair care experience, making washing a nourishing ritual rather than a chore.

Raíz & Rayo No.4 The Rebalancer | Organic Pre-Wash Scalp Oil | 100ml / 3.4oz
No.4 is for the scalp that feels reactive, tense, depleted, or hard to read. When your scalp does not feel like itself
Some scalps do not fit neatly into “dry” or “oily.” They shift. They react. They feel tight around the crown or hairline. They may feel sensitive after stress, hormonal changes, seasonal shifts, styling tension, or inconsistent wash routines.
№4 was created for that in-between state — when your scalp needs nourishment, grounding, and support before you cleanse.
Is №4 your formula?
Choose The Rebalancer if your scalp feels unstable, tense, dry, or transition-stressed.
No.4 blends nutrient-dense oils, adaptogenic botanicals, and modern scalp-supporting actives. A lipid-rich ritual for scalp comfort and resilience
The Rebalancer is built around oils and botanicals traditionally valued for comfort, nourishment, and resilience.
- Black seed oil:
A comfort-first oil ideal for dry, sensitive, or easily irritated scalp states. - Oat kernel
- Evening primrose oil:
Rich in fatty acids that help support softness, moisture, and comfort for dry-feeling scalps. - Borage oil:
A lipid-rich oil traditionally used to nourish delicate, depleted, or uncomfortable skin. - Pumpkin seed
- Ashwagandha:
An Ayurvedic botanical traditionally associated with grounding, resilience, and restorative rituals. - Tsubaki oils
- Squalane + CoQ10:
Lightweight modern actives that support softness, antioxidant care, and a conditioned scalp feel.
help soften and condition the scalp before shampooing.
Brahmi, shatavari, caffeine, CoQ10, and squalane bring a modern ritual approach to scalp care — supporting a more balanced-feeling scalp environment without weighing the hair down.

1
Apply to Dry Scalp
Section hair and apply directly to the scalp, focusing on the crown, hairline, and areas that feel tight or inconsistent.
2
Massage for 3–5 minutes
Use slow circular pressure with fingertips and palms to distribute the oil and loosen buildup.
3
Leave on for 10–60 minutes
Let the ritual sit before cleansing. This is your reset window.
4
Shampoo thoroughly
Rinse and shampoo from the scalp first. Double cleanse if needed.

Because your scalp deserves preparation, not punishment. Why use scalp oil before shampoo?
Most wash routines start with shampoo. №4 starts before that. A pre-wash scalp oil helps soften buildup, cushion the scalp before cleansing, and turn wash day into a slower, more intentional reset.
This is not a leave-in shine oil. It is a scalp-first ritual designed to be massaged in, left on, and washed out.
Designed for a cleaner, fresher ritual
Every detail supports formula protection and easier scalp application.
Scalp care built from real client patterns, not beauty trends. Created by a licensed professional with 30+ years behind the chair
After decades of working directly with clients, Natalie created Raíz & Rayo around one overlooked truth: the scalp is the foundation. №4 The Rebalancer was designed for the client whose scalp feels unpredictable, stress-reactive, dry, tight, or depleted, the person who needs a ritual that brings them back to baseline before wash day begins.
Questions before you rebalance? FAQ
Here is what to know before your first ritual.
Is No.4 for hormonal hair loss?
No.4 is not a medical hair-loss treatment. It is a pre-wash scalp oil designed to support a healthier-feeling scalp environment during times when the scalp feels stressed, dry, tight, or inconsistent.
Will it make my scalp greasy?
It is not meant to stay in your hair. Apply before shampooing, leave on for 10–60 minutes, then wash thoroughly from the scalp.
How often should I use it?
Use 1–2 times weekly, or whenever your scalp feels off-balance and needs a reset.
Can I leave it on overnight?
For most people, 10–60 minutes is enough. If your scalp tolerates oils well, you may choose a longer ritual, but shampoo thoroughly afterward.
Is it safe for color-treated hair?
It is designed as a scalp oil, not a color product. Apply mainly to the scalp before shampooing. For fresh color or sensitive scalps, patch test first.
Is No.4 a leave-in oil?
No. №4 is a pre-wash scalp ritual. Apply before washing, massage, let it sit, then shampoo out.
What does The Rebalancer smell like?
Grounding, herbal, softly floral, and spa-like, with rosemary, peppermint, clary sage, geranium, ylang ylang, hinoki, cedarwood, and rose.
