What is a scalp detox and why do I need one before braids?

A scalp detox removes buildup, excess oils, sweat, and product residue that accumulate on your scalp. Before braids, a clean scalp means less itching, better longevity for your style, and a healthier foundation under your install.

How is RESIDUE RESET™ different from a clarifying shampoo?

RESIDUE RESET™ uses mineral clay — Bentonite, Kaolin, and Activated Charcoal — to draw out buildup without stripping your scalp's natural moisture. Clarifying shampoos use surfactants that can over-cleanse and leave your scalp dry and reactive.

Can I use ToxiTress™ products under a wig or sew-in?

Yes. The full ritual is designed for protective style wearers. RESIDUE RESET™ and SCALP CALM™ prep your scalp before install. CROWN ALIGN™ conditions and seals. TEMPLE THERAPY™ can be applied along the hairline during wear.

How often should I detox my scalp?

We recommend a full scalp detox before every new install, and a maintenance reset every 2–4 weeks depending on your scalp type and how much product you use.

Is TEMPLE THERAPY™ a hair growth oil?

No. TEMPLE THERAPY™ is a targeted scalp and hairline conditioning recovery treatment — not a hair growth oil. It provides focused care for fragile zones like edges and temples that experience tension and stress from protective styles.

Are ToxiTress™ products safe for color-treated hair?

Yes. All ToxiTress™ formulas are applied to the scalp, not the hair shaft, and are free from sulfates and harsh stripping agents that affect color-treated hair.

What order do I use the ToxiTress™ products in?

Follow the 4-step ritual — Layer 1: RESIDUE RESET™ (Detox), Layer 2: SCALP CALM™ (Prep), Layer 3: CROWN ALIGN™ + TEMPLE THERAPY™ (Treatment), Layer 4: AURA NEUTRAL™ (Finish).

How long does AURA NEUTRAL™ scent last?

AURA NEUTRAL™ is formulated as a lightweight, long-lasting mist. Most customers experience 4–6 hours of scent on hair and skin, with the body mist lasting slightly longer than the hair spray.

Can I use ToxiTress™ products if I have a sensitive scalp?

Yes. ToxiTress™ formulas are designed with sensitive scalps in mind. SCALP CALM™ uses Aloe, Chamomile, and Green Tea to soothe reactivity. If you have a known allergy, review the full ingredient list on each product page before use.

Do I need to rinse out RESIDUE RESET™?

Yes. RESIDUE RESET™ is a rinse-out treatment. Apply to a damp scalp, massage in sections, let it sit for 3–5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly before your install.

Can I use CROWN ALIGN™ on my hair as well as my scalp?

CROWN ALIGN™ is formulated primarily for scalp application, but the lightweight botanical oil blend is safe to apply to hair ends for added moisture and shine.

How soon before my braid appointment should I do the scalp detox?

We recommend completing your ToxiTress™ ritual 24–48 hours before your install. This gives your scalp time to balance after the detox and ensures your hair is fully dry before braiding.

Are ToxiTress™ products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes. All ToxiTress™ products are formulated without animal-derived ingredients and are never tested on animals.

What makes AURA NEUTRAL™ safe for the scalp?

AURA NEUTRAL™ is formulated without drying alcohols that damage the scalp barrier. It uses a lightweight, scalp-safe carrier that delivers fragrance without irritation, making it safe to mist directly on the scalp and hair.

Where do I start if I'm new to ToxiTress™?

Start with the STARTER RESET KIT™ — it includes the core ritual products in one set so you can experience the full 4-step system before committing to individual products. It's the fastest way to understand what ToxiTress™ does for your scalp.

Great styles don’t start with the install.
They start with the scalp story underneath it.

Because before the braids ✨
Before the wig 💇🏽♀️
Before the sew-in or twists 💅🏽…

There’s a foundation that decides everything.

That’s why ToxiTress™ RESET SYSTEM™ exists.

A 2-step scalp prep ritual designed to clear buildup, rebalance the scalp, and align the crown foundation so every protective style starts clean, light, and ready.

Two steps. One reset. No leftovers.

🧠 WHY THIS SYSTEM MATTERS

Over time, your scalp collects layers like a timeline 📜:

🧴 product buildup from gels, creams, and edge control
💦 sweat and daily environmental residue
🧬 natural oil cycles
🔁 leftover styling tension from previous installs

And when new styles get stacked on top of all that?

You get what we call:

🏚️ Residue Residency → buildup that refuses to leave
🪨 Scalp Sediment Situation → slow buildup, fast irritation
📉 Grime Timeline → old product history still living on your scalp
🚨 Itch Uprising → scalp starting protests mid-install

That’s not a style problem.
That’s a foundation problem.

RESET SYSTEM™ fixes the foundation first. 🧼

👑 STEP 1: CROWN ALIGN™

🔧 Scalp Alignment + Pre-Install Preparation

CROWN ALIGN™ is your foundation preparation step.

It helps:

✔ 👑 Prime the scalp for detox
✔ 🧽 Loosen surface buildup before cleansing
✔ ⚖️ Support scalp balance before styling
✔ 🧠 Create a clean starting point for installation

Think of it as getting your crown in formation before the reset begins.

Not styling yet.
Just alignment.

Your crown deserves structure before pressure. 💫

🧼 STEP 2: RESIDUE RESET™

💦 Deep Buildup Detox Cleanse

RESIDUE RESET™ is your scalp clearing system.

It helps:

✔ 🧼 Lift product buildup from scalp and roots
✔ 💧 Remove sweat, oil, and styling residue
✔ 🧽 Clear layers from previous installs
✔ 🌿 Refresh scalp environment for next style

This is where the scalp gets real space again.

No heaviness.
No leftover history.
No trapped buildup.

Just a clean foundation reset. ✨

💅🏽 WHAT THIS SYSTEM FIXES

This duo is built for real-life scalp problems:

😖 itching under braids or wigs
🧊 flakes showing up mid-style
⏳ installs not lasting clean
😣 tight, uncomfortable scalp feeling
🔁 buildup from repeated protective styles

Instead of covering it up…
you clear it first. 🧼

🧴 HOW TO USE (RESET FLOW)

STEP 1: CROWN ALIGN™ 👑
Apply as a prep layer to scalp. Massage gently to prime and align foundation.

STEP 2: RESIDUE RESET™ 🧼
Apply to damp scalp. Massage in to lift buildup and cleanse thoroughly. Rinse well 💦

STEP 3: INSTALL 💇🏽♀️
Proceed with braids, wig install, sew-in, or twists on a clean foundation.

Simple system. Clean results. Better installs. ✨

💆🏽♀️ WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

Light 🌬️
Fresh 🌿
Reset 🧼

Not stripped. Not overloaded. Not complicated.

Just that moment when your scalp feels like it finally got a reset button pressed 🔘

Clean base energy = better install energy 💫

💡 PERFECT FOR

✓ 💇🏽♀️ Braids
✓ 👑 Knotless braids
✓ 🧵 Box braids
✓ 🎀 Wigs
✓ 🪡 Sew-ins
✓ 🔁 Twists
✓ 🌿 Locs
✓ 🔄 Protective style rotation routines
✓ 🧼 Scalp buildup reset days
✓ 🧠 First-step install prep systems

If your styles are consistent, your resets should be too.

⚠️ POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS / SENSITIVITIES

Some users may experience mild reactions depending on scalp sensitivity:

🌶️ light tingling during detox activation
🧴 temporary dryness if not followed with hydration
🌿 sensitivity to cleansing botanicals or actives
🔴 slight redness on reactive scalps

✔ Patch test recommended before first use
✔ Follow with hydration or scalp balance care
✔ Discontinue use if irritation persists

🌿 THE VIBE

👑 Align.
🧼 Clear.
✨ Reset.

ToxiTress™ RESET SYSTEM™ is where your style stops building on buildup… and starts building on a clean foundation.

Because better installs don’t start with hair.
They start with what’s underneath it. 🧠
