A weekly pre-shampoo hair oil treatment built around manuka honey — the rare, antioxidant-rich honey from New Zealand's manuka bush that acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture into thirsty hair strands. Alongside argan oil, aloe vera, soybean oil, olive oil, and jojoba, the formula drenches hair in nourishment, fortifies the cuticle, smooths frizz, and helps guard against breakage.
Apply to dry, detangled hair in sections. Leave on for up to 30 minutes. Rinse, double shampoo, condition as usual. The hair that emerges is visibly softer, shinier, and more manageable — the kind of difference you can see in a mirror and feel between your fingers. No synthetic fragrance; the botanicals lend a naturally calming, herbaceous scent.
Use once a week or every other week. 60ml.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Manuka honey: a rare, golden botanical from New Zealand's manuka bush. Acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture into strands for hair that is soft, supple, and luminous. Antioxidant-rich.
- Argan oil: a deeply moisturizing oil that helps protect hair from everyday stressors, supports softness, reduces breakage, and enhances the appearance of fuller, healthier strands.
- Aloe vera oil: a lush desert succulent that floods hair with lightweight, cooling hydration, leaving strands soft, supple, and refreshed.
- Pre-shampoo application: works differently from an in-shower mask. The oils penetrate dry hair rather than sitting on the surface, then rinse cleanly with a double shampoo.
- No synthetic fragrance: the naturally calming, herbaceous scent comes from the botanicals themselves.
- 5.0 star rating on the brand's site: consistently the most-loved product in the Najeau range.
- Color-safe, paraben-free, phthalate-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free, mineral oil-free, gluten-free, cruelty-free.

THE BRAND
Najeau was founded by Nina after 20 years working behind the chair as a hairstylist, watching client after client come in with hair concerns that had nothing to do with the hair itself and everything to do with what was happening at the scalp beneath it. She partnered with an award-winning chemist to develop a proactive scalp care system built around one conviction: the scalp is living skin, and the hair is the result. Many Najeau formulas begin with a single ingredient — cold-pressed Lebanese olive oil, sourced through the founder's family ties to a 900-year-old monastery in the Qadisha Valley. Inspired by ancestral tradition, refined by modern science. Treat. Clean. Balance.
