HAIR SYRUP — Pre-Wash Oils from Wales
From a kitchen in Wales: HAIR SYRUP is a UK indie brand, founded in 2020 by Lucie Macleod and having gone viral on TikTok. Their specialty: pre-wash oils — hair oils that are applied to dry hair before shampooing, left on to work, then rinsed out. The idea is simple: nourished hair without the oil staying in it.
8 products, recycled glass bottles, vegan, cruelty-free, Made in the UK. A brand with real personality—British humor, no marketing hype.
What makes HAIR SYRUP special?
Most hair oils are leave-in — you apply them and they stay in (with all that entails for the look). HAIR SYRUP is pre-wash: apply, let it sit, then wash it out the next time you shampoo. Your hair benefits from the nourishing ingredients without looking greasy or weighed down afterward. The glass bottles are recyclable, and the formulas are vegan and cruelty-free.

FAQ about HAIR SYRUP
What is a pre-wash oil and how does it differ from a regular hair oil?
A pre-wash oil is applied before shampooing — you wash it out afterward. Your hair benefits from the active ingredients while the oil is left on, without the oil remaining in your hair. Classic hair oils are leave-in and remain in the hair for a shine effect.
Won’t that make my hair greasy?
No—because you apply it before shampooing and can wash it out thoroughly afterward. It’s important to shampoo thoroughly (1–2 times depending on hair length and amount of oil).
How much oil should I use?
For short hair, 5–10 drops; for medium-length hair, 10–15; for long hair, 15–25. It’s better to start with a little less and add more than to use too much—otherwise, it will take longer to wash out.
Can I leave HAIR SYRUP in my hair overnight?
Yes—it works great. Apply to dry hair before bed, wrap it in a towel or hair tie, and wash as usual in the morning.
Are the products vegan?
Yes. All HAIR SYRUP products are vegan and developed without animal testing. The packaging consists of recycled glass bottles.
Which HAIR SYRUP is right for me?
To start with: Original. For dry or long hair: Rapunzel. For a fresh scalp feeling: Mint Condition. For a light, non-greasy result: Lemon-Aid or Vitamin C Me.
Where is HAIR SYRUP made?
In Wales (UK). The brand was founded in 2020 by Lucie Macleod—she started as a one-woman show in her kitchen and is now an established beauty brand on TikTok. Made in the UK.
