Some wash days call for a clean slate. Others call for a little more softness before the shampoo even starts. Those are different jobs, and you don’t have to make one bottle do both.
Choose by the moment, not the trend
Root Reset is ONDAVU’s rinse-out scalp exfoliating serum. Use it on a dry scalp before shampoo, leave it for 3–5 minutes, then rinse. It is the short pre-shampoo step for someone who wants to make room for a deliberate scalp cleanse. Follow the directions on the bottle; more time is not the goal.
Root Oil is the botanical pre-wash oil. Apply sparingly before washing, leave it for at least 15 minutes, then shampoo and rinse. Think of it as the slower, nourishing-feeling option for a wash day when you want that oil ritual.
Which one fits today?
- “I have five minutes before shampoo.” Start with Root Reset. Its directions are built around a brief 3–5-minute rinse-out step.
- “I want to make more time before washing.” Explore Root Oil. Give it at least 15 minutes, then shampoo.
- “I’m not washing my hair today.” Neither pre-wash formula is a leave-in shortcut. If you want a separate dry-use massage moment, Root Pulse belongs on a clean, dry scalp and is used with light pressure, following its manual.
Keep the order simple
Pick the pre-wash step that suits the day. After shampooing, Root Mist is the leave-in finish for clean, damp hair. Root Pulse is a separate dry-use occasion, not a tool to run through oil or mist.
