Pre-Wash Haircare
What happens before shampoo matters.
Most hair routines start with shampoo. Ours starts before it. Our pre-wash treatments are used once a week on dry hair before you step into the shower. Each formula is created around a different hair or scalp concern, so you're giving your mane targeted care where it needs it most.
Treat. Wait 30. Wash. Hello, fabulous hair.
One mane. One match.
Different hair needs different things. Find the weekly treatment created for yours.

Why I started before shampoo.
Meet Jason (aka Lil J)
After more than 20 years behind the chair, I kept seeing the same thing.
People were spending more and more on shampoos, conditioners and styling products, but the step before shampoo was being overlooked.
That's where Lil J started.
I created our pre-wash treatments to give different hair types and scalp concerns targeted care before washing. They're simple to use, naturally derived and designed to become part of your routine just once a week.
Because great haircare doesn't have to be complicated.
WHY BEFORE SHAMPOO?
✓ Targeted care
Choose a treatment based on your specific hair or scalp concern.
✓ Fits into your wash day
No complicated new routine. Apply before your usual shampoo and conditioner.
✓ Once a week
Just one pre-wash treatment each week becomes your Lil J ritual.
✓ Made for your mane
Four targeted formulas rather than one treatment trying to do everything.

How often should I use my Lil J treatment?
We recommend using your treatment once a week before shampooing. Leave it on for 30 minutes before washing.
Where do I apply the treatment?
