I spent 8 years trying everything: Vichy, Nizoral, prescriptions from my dermatologist. After 4 uses the itching was gone and the flakes went with it. And it doesn't leave my hair feeling like straw.

The problem
Your shampoo cleans your hair. What cleans your scalp?
Clean hair and a clean scalp are two different jobs.
Shampoo is built for hair. It runs over the skin underneath for a few seconds and rinses away, and most of the time that is enough. But the scalp is skin, and skin sheds. Add the oil it makes on its own, plus whatever you leave behind — dry shampoo, styling cream, conditioner that never fully rinsed — and that layer starts to settle in between washes.
You feel it before you see it. So you wash more often, which strips the lengths and does very little to the layer that is actually bothering you.
Hyrava is the step that comes first: a pre-wash treatment that loosens what has built up, so your shampoo finally meets skin instead of residue.
- Roots that look flat and feel oily a day after washing
- Small dry flakes that brushing never quite clears
- A tight, uncomfortable scalp by the second day
- Products that seem to sit on top instead of sinking in
Customer stories
What people say after the first wash
Margot P.
I finally feel comfortable wearing my hair down
I had been dealing with an itchy, flaky scalp for years, and it was honestly becoming embarrassing. I started using Hyrava twice a week, and after a few weeks my scalp felt so much cleaner and healthier. My hair even looks better now. I just wish I had discovered it sooner.
Sarah T.
My scalp finally feels clean again
I've struggled with scalp buildup and constant itching for a long time. I started using Hyrava twice a week, and I noticed a difference surprisingly quickly. My scalp feels fresher, less irritated, and my hair feels much better too. It's now part of my weekly routine.
Michelle R.
I wish I had found Hyrava sooner
My scalp used to get flaky and uncomfortable, especially between washes. I tried so many products without much luck. Hyrava has made such a difference for me. My scalp feels much cleaner and my hair looks healthier. I honestly look forward to using it every week.
How to use
Three simple steps to a fresher scalp
Once or twice a week, before you shampoo. More often is not better — the point is to clear the buildup, not to keep the scalp permanently stripped.
Apply
Work on a dry scalp. Part your hair in sections and apply a small amount directly to the skin at the roots.
Massage
Massage gently with your fingertips for two to three minutes — small circles, no nails. Then leave it on for five to ten minutes while it works.
Rinse and shampoo
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner.
Patch test before your first full use, and avoid contact with the eyes. [CHECK THE JAR: add any extra caution wording printed on your label.]
Before and after
Real scalp care. Visible difference.
Consistent scalp care can help reduce the look of buildup and flakes, and leave the scalp looking cleaner and more balanced.
Shampoo alone
- Buildup left to settle around the roots between washes
- Shampoo working over residue instead of skin
- Roots that feel heavy and look flat by day two
With the pre-wash step
- Buildup loosened and rinsed away before you wash
- The same shampoo, now reaching a clear scalp
- A scalp that feels clean and comfortable for longer

The formula
Every ingredient has a purpose.
A short list, chosen to do three things: loosen what has built up, condition the skin underneath, and rinse away without residue.
Grapeseed extract
[INCI from the label]
The light, antioxidant-rich oil that carries the rest of the formula. It spreads easily across the scalp and rinses out cleanly, which is what lets you use this on dry hair at all.
Grapefruit extract
[INCI from the label]
Brings natural vitamin C and the fresh citrus note you notice while the treatment sits. It is why the step feels bright rather than heavy.
Tamanu oil
[INCI from the label]
A rich botanical oil long used in Pacific skincare for comfort. It is what keeps an exfoliating step from feeling harsh on a scalp that is easily upset.
Avocado oil
[INCI from the label]
Rich in nourishing lipids, including vitamins E and D. This is the conditioning half of the formula: it puts moisture back as the treatment lifts buildup away.
Citrus extract
[INCI from the label]
A second natural source of vitamin C that supports the gentle side of the exfoliation, so the work is shared by the formula rather than done by friction alone.

The difference
Why Hyrava
Not a replacement for your shampoo. The step that comes before it.
The pre-wash step
Hyrava
- A pre-wash treatment, applied to dry skin where nothing dilutes it
- Gentle exfoliation that loosens buildup instead of scrubbing it away
- Botanical oils that condition the scalp while they work
- Designed as a weekly step, not a daily habit
What it is built for
Shampoo on its own
- Formulated first and foremost to clean the hair
- Spends seconds on the skin before it rinses away
- Usually reaches the scalp after buildup has already settled
- Washing more often strips the lengths without clearing the roots
Use both. Hyrava clears the scalp; your shampoo washes the hair.

“I’ve struggled with an oily, flaky scalp for years and have tried so many different products without seeing much of a difference. I started using the Hyrava Natural Hair Exfoliator twice a week and honestly noticed a change after the first few uses. My scalp feels much cleaner, less heavy and my hair feels fresher for longer. It’s now a permanent part of my hair routine.”
C
Chloe H. — My scalp has never felt this clean
★★★★★
“I’ve tried so many different shampoos and scalp products over the years, but I’d never actually used a scalp exfoliator before. I bought the Natural Hair Exfoliator because my scalp was constantly feeling a bit oily and uncomfortable, especially a day or two after washing my hair. The first time I used it, I was honestly surprised by how fresh my scalp felt afterwards. It doesn’t leave that horrible stripped feeling either. My hair feels lighter at the roots and my scalp feels much cleaner. I’ve been using it as part of my weekly hair routine and I’m really enjoying it. It’s become one of those products I didn’t know I needed until I tried it.”
S
Sarah S. — I didn’t realise how much my scalp needed this
★★★★★
“I bought this because my scalp was constantly feeling like it had product sitting on it. I use styling products pretty regularly, and over time my hair started feeling heavier and my roots would get oily much quicker. I wasn't expecting much because I've tried a few scalp products before that didn't really do anything, but this one surprised me. After using it and washing my hair, my scalp felt properly clean rather than just temporarily clean. My hair also had more movement and didn't feel weighed down at the roots. I've been using it once a week and that's been enough for me. The application is straightforward and it doesn't require changing my whole hair routine. If you use a lot of hair products or just feel like your scalp never quite feels clean after shampooing, I'd definitely give this a try.”
D
Daniel R. — Such a simple addition to my routine
★★★★★
“I’ve always concentrated on the actual hair and completely ignored my scalp, which I think was a mistake. Since using this exfoliator, I’ve noticed that my scalp feels properly clean after washing rather than just temporarily clean. The texture is really easy to work through the roots and it doesn’t take ages to use. I massage it in gently, leave it for a few minutes and then rinse before shampooing. My hair feels softer and fresher afterwards, and the roots don’t seem to get weighed down as quickly. I’ve been using it once a week and I honestly look forward to my hair wash days now.”
E
Emily R. — My hair feels so much fresher after washing
★★★★★
“Living in Australia, especially during the warmer months, my scalp can get oily really quickly. I was constantly washing my hair because my roots would feel greasy and heavy. I decided to give this a go after seeing it recommended and I’m really impressed. It gives my scalp that deep-clean feeling without making my hair feel dry afterwards. I’ve been using it once or twice a week depending on how my scalp feels, and it has made such a difference to how fresh my hair feels between washes. The product itself is easy to apply and a little goes a long way. Definitely one of my favourite additions to my hair-care routine”
L
Laura M. — Perfect for my oily roots
★★★★★
“This has become my little Sunday self-care ritual. I apply the Natural Hair Exfoliator directly to my scalp before washing my hair and gently massage it with my fingertips. It feels really satisfying without being too harsh. Once I rinse it out and shampoo normally, my scalp feels incredibly fresh and my hair feels much lighter at the roots. I’ve noticed that my usual hair products seem to work better when I start with a clean scalp. I also love that the routine doesn’t take much extra time. For me, it’s basically like hitting a reset button on my hair once a week”
J
Jessica R. — It feels like a reset for my scalp
★★★★★
“I use quite a few styling products, dry shampoo and other hair products, so buildup has always been something I’ve struggled with. Even after washing, my scalp sometimes still felt like there was product sitting around the roots. I started using this exfoliator once a week and the difference in how clean my scalp feels is noticeable. My hair feels much less heavy and my roots feel properly refreshed. I also like that it doesn’t require a complicated routine. Apply, massage, rinse and wash your hair as normal. It has quickly become a staple in my bathroom and I’ll definitely be keeping it in my routine”
C
Chloe W. — Finally found something for my buildup
★★★★★
“I purchased this because I wanted something specifically designed for the scalp rather than just another shampoo. I have fine hair and my roots can become oily quite quickly, so I was curious to see whether exfoliating my scalp would actually make a difference. After a few uses, I started noticing that my scalp felt fresher and my hair had more of that clean, lightweight feeling after washing. I really enjoy the massage as well because it makes washing my hair feel more like a proper treatment rather than just another chore. I’ve recommended it to my sister already because she has similar issues with oily roots”
H
Hannah L. — My hair feels cleaner for longer
★★★★★
“I originally bought this because my scalp would feel oily and weighed down even after washing my hair. I assumed it was just something I had to deal with, but after using this for a few weeks I've noticed a real difference. The product is simple to use and doesn't require much effort. I massage it into my scalp before getting in with my normal shampoo routine and that's basically it. My scalp feels much cleaner afterwards and my hair has more volume around the roots. I also like that I don't have to use it every day. Once a week has worked really well for me. It's one of those products where you don't necessarily expect much from it, but once you've used it for a while you notice how much better your scalp feels. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who feels like their normal shampoo isn't quite getting rid of all the buildup.”
J
James K. — My favourite hair-care discovery this year
★★★★★
“I use dry shampoo quite often, especially when I’m busy, and over time I started feeling like there was always some sort of buildup around my scalp. Regular shampoo wasn’t really giving me that completely clean feeling anymore. I started using this exfoliator once a week and it has been such a nice addition to my routine. It gives me that deeper clean without needing to scrub aggressively. My scalp feels refreshed and my hair feels lighter afterwards. I also love that it only takes a few minutes. If you use dry shampoo regularly or lots of styling products, I would definitely recommend giving a scalp exfoliator a try.”
N
Natalie S. — A must-have if you use dry shampoo
★★★★★
“I’ve become much more conscious about looking after my scalp recently, and this was exactly the kind of product I was looking for. I love the fact that it’s used before shampooing because it makes the whole process feel like I’m actually starting with a clean base. I gently massage it into my scalp and rinse thoroughly before washing my hair. The first thing I noticed was how fresh my scalp felt afterwards. My roots also felt much lighter and cleaner. I’ve been using it regularly and it’s now a permanent part of my weekly routine. Such a simple product, but it makes my hair-washing routine feel so much better.”
R
Rachel K. — My scalp feels completely refreshed
★★★★★
“I've never really been someone who buys a lot of haircare products, but I decided to try this after noticing that my scalp was getting quite oily and uncomfortable between washes. I honestly didn't think a scalp exfoliator would make much difference, but I was wrong. The first thing I noticed was how fresh my scalp felt after using it. It feels like it actually gets rid of the buildup that shampoo alone wasn't removing. My hair feels cleaner at the roots and doesn't get greasy quite as quickly. I only use it once a week, so the tub should last a decent amount of time as well. It's also really easy to fit into my routine because I just use it before shampooing. Definitely a product I would recommend, especially for anyone who uses styling products regularly or struggles with an oily scalp.”

FAQ
Everything people ask us
If your question is not here, email us and a person will answer it.
A pre-wash scalp exfoliant. It is a concentrated treatment you massage into a dry scalp before you shampoo, to loosen the dead skin, oil and product residue that settles at the roots between washes.
Two ways at once. The texture gives a light physical exfoliation as you massage, and the botanical oil base softens the buildup so it lifts away instead of needing to be scrubbed off. Your shampoo then rinses it all out together.
Once or twice a week. There is no benefit to using it more often — the aim is to clear buildup periodically, not to keep the scalp constantly stripped.
Before, always. Hyrava goes on a dry scalp and does its work while it sits. Your shampoo comes afterwards and rinses everything away.
Yes. Excess oil at the roots is one of the things the treatment is designed to help lift, and it rinses out with your normal wash rather than adding weight.
It is formulated to be gentle — the oil base softens buildup rather than relying on hard scrubbing, and avocado oil conditions as you go. That said, this is a cosmetic product, not a treatment for any skin condition. Do a patch test before your first full use, and if you have a diagnosed scalp condition or persistent irritation, speak to a dermatologist first.
The 100 g jar gives roughly 15 to 20 applications, depending on how much hair you are working through. At one to two uses a week that is about two to four months.
Yes, and you should. Hyrava is not a replacement for shampoo and does not need a matching one. Use whatever you already like straight afterwards.
It goes on the scalp rather than the lengths, so hair type matters far less than it would for a shampoo or a mask. If your hair is freshly coloured or chemically treated, leave a few days after the salon before using it, and check with your stylist if you are unsure.
Somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sunlight, with the lid closed. A bathroom shelf is fine; the ledge inside a hot shower is not.
