Head & Shoulders Royal Oils Scalp Elixir 4.2 fl oz

Overview

Head & Shoulders Royal Oils is a no-rinse scalp elixir formulated for natural, relaxed, kinky and coily hair, applied directly to the scalp between washes, including under braids, twists or locs, without disturbing the style.

The product's whole design brief is working around protective styles: since a full wash is not always practical under braids or locs, this leave-on elixir goes straight to the scalp instead. Head & Shoulders frames it as developed specifically for Black hair textures, which shapes both the no-rinse format and the claim of 24-hour scalp protection.

• No-rinse, direct-to-scalp elixir
• Formulated for natural, relaxed, kinky and coily hair
• Menthol and peppermint for cooling relief
• Works under braids, twists and locs

Who it's for

Anyone wearing braids, twists, locs or another protective style who needs scalp relief between full washes, and more broadly anyone with natural, relaxed, kinky or coily hair dealing with an itchy or dry scalp. Less relevant for someone who washes frequently and does not need a between-wash step.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Because it needs no rinse, the elixir is designed to be worked directly through partings to the scalp and left in, with menthol and peppermint oil producing an immediate cooling sensation on application. The brand's 24-hour protection claim covers the gap between washes that this format is built to fill.
