A weekly pre-shampoo scalp treatment oil that clears buildup, dissolves excess sebum, and lifts away dead skin from the scalp. The name is the ritual: Sunday, once a week, a small reset before whatever the week ahead demands. The formula is remarkably short — five botanical oils, nothing else. Organic olive oil forms the base (sourced through Najeau's family ties to a 900-year-old monastery in Lebanon's Qadisha Valley). Burdock root oil nourishes and supports scalp health. Anise seed oil brightens and awakens. Tea tree oil clarifies and refreshes. Castor oil supports strength at the root.
Apply to dry hair in sections. Massage into the scalp. Leave on for several minutes, then double shampoo. The scalp comes out clean, calm, and rebalanced in a way that no shampoo alone can accomplish. Consumer testing over 8 weeks: 100% saw noticeable change, 97% felt scalp was significantly less dry, 97% noticed scalp oil felt more balanced, 93% reported visible improvement in hair texture.
Use once a week or every other week. 50ml.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Five-ingredient formula: nothing but botanical oils. Olive, burdock, castor, anise, tea tree. The absence of fillers, silicones, and synthetic additives is the point.
- Organic Lebanese olive oil base: sourced through Najeau's founder's family ties to a 900-year-old monastery in the Qadisha Valley — cold-pressed, single-origin, and the foundation of the formula.
- Pre-shampoo application: works differently from an in-shower treatment. The oil binds to sebum and buildup on dry scalp, then lifts everything away when shampooed off.
- Anise seed and tea tree oils: purify, awaken, and clarify the scalp without stripping it.
- Burdock root oil: a nutrient-rich botanical prized in traditional plant care, drenches the scalp in nourishment.
- Clinically tested over 8 weeks: 100% saw noticeable change, 97% felt scalp was significantly less dry, 97% noticed more balanced oil, 93% reported visible improvement in hair texture.
- After 4 weeks: 100% said they saw less flaking, 100% said scalp felt less itchy or sensitive.
- Dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, color-safe, vegan.

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.
