Concerned? Can you leave JVN pre-wash scalp oil on overnight?


JVN pre-wash vs Aveda Botanical


  • JVN Pre Wash Scalp Oil is typically applied directly to the scalp and massaged in before shampooing, while the Aveda Botanical is applied to damp hair after shampooing and conditioning. It is a leave-in treatment that doesn’t require rinsing.
  • JVN Pre Wash Scalp Oil is specifically designed for the scalp. It helps nourish and moisturize the scalp, promote a healthy environment for hair growth, and can assist in removing product buildup and excess oil before shampooing, whereas the Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening is primarily focused on hair care. It aims to repair and strengthen damaged hair, reduce breakage, and improve the overall health and appearance of the hair.

What would we prefer?

We would prefer the Aveda because you can leave it in overnight while you sleep and it is more focused on the overall health of the hair, not just the scalp.

JVN pre-wash vs Kérastase Nutritive


  • JVN Pre Wash Scalp Oil is specifically designed as a pre-wash treatment, whereas the Kérastase Nutritive is applied to towel-dried hair after shampooing and conditioning. It is a leave-in treatment that is not rinsed out.
  • JVN Pre Wash Scalp Oil primarily focuses on scalp health, addressing dryness, flakiness, and product buildup on the scalp, whereas the Kérastase Nutritive treatment is specifically formulated to nourish and moisturize severely dried-out hair, improving its softness, smoothness, and manageability.

What would we prefer?

We would prefer the Kérastase because it is a leave-in treatment that is not rinsed out. It is espacially benificial for severely dried out hair.

JVN pre-wash vs Briogeo Don’t Despair


  • JVN Pre Wash Scalp Oil is applied directly to the scalp and massaged in before shampooing, whereas the Briogeo Don’t Despair is applied to wet hair after shampooing. It is left on for a specific duration and then rinsed out.
  • JVN Pre Wash Scalp Oil: This oil is specifically formulated for the scalp. It helps moisturize, nourish, and promote a healthy scalp environment, whereas Briogeo Don’t Despair mask is designed to deeply condition and repair dry, damaged, or color-treated hair, improving its moisture levels, strength, and overall condition.
