Hops Hijinks — Scalp & Hair Oil

More high jinks than high stakes, Hops Hijinks brings a little playful chaos to haircare with botanical oils that feed the scalp and soften stressed-out strands.

We spend so much time caring for our hair by washing, styling, coloring, straightening, curling, and treating it that we often forget the most important foundation of all, the scalp.

Your scalp is where strong, healthy-looking hair begins. When the scalp is balanced, nourished, and well cared for, it creates the ideal environment for shinier, softer, and healthier hair.

Oils play a big part in having a healthy scalp and, protecting your hair. A hair oil nourishes the scalp and strands while supporting healthier-looking growth. If you want better hair, start at the scalp.

Hops

Hops are a powerful ingredient for skincare and scalp care, rich in antioxidants like humulone and lupulone that help protect against oxidative stress. Their natural lupulin oils soothe redness, calm irritation, and support skin repair.

Known for their calming and balancing properties, hops help relieve dry, sensitive, or itchy scalps while supporting a healthier scalp microbiome. Natural flavonoids may also boost circulation to nourish hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.

Stinging Nettle

Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, stinging nettle helps maintain a balanced scalp by supporting moisture levels and reducing dryness or flaking. Its soothing properties may also help calm irritation and discomfort.

Stinging nettle contains minerals such as iron, silica, and sulfur, which help support stronger, more resilient hair and reduce breakage.

Some studies also suggest nettle may help support healthy hair growth by promoting a better scalp environment and improving circulation to the follicles.

Wild Cherry Bark

Known for its natural anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties, wild cherry bark helps support a clean, balanced scalp and healthier hair.

It can help smooth the strands, add body, and improve manageability. Wild cherry bark is also rich in antioxidants, which can help protect against environmental stress.

Laurel Berry Oil

Laurel oil is best known as a key ingredient in Aleppo soap, one of the world’s oldest traditional soaps. For generations, it has been treasured across the Middle East and Europe for its cleansing, protective, and skin-conditioning properties.

Beyond skincare, laurel oil is also highly valued for hair and scalp care. Its natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties help maintain a clean, balanced scalp, reducing dandruff and buildup while supporting a healthier environment for stronger-looking hair. Its soothing compounds can also help calm scalp discomfort and irritation.

Rich in nourishing fatty acids, laurel oil helps moisturize both the scalp and hair, easing dryness, improving softness, and helping protect strands from breakage.

Grapeseed Oil

Grapeseed oil is a lightweight, nutrient-rich ingredient valued for promoting healthier hair and scalp. Rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, flavonoids, polyphenols, and essential fatty acids, it helps nourish the scalp, replenish moisture, and soothe dryness or irritation while enhancing the overall look and feel of the hair.

As hair loses moisture over time, it can appear dull and lifeless. Grapeseed oil helps smooth the hair surface, lightly coat each strand, and restore softness and shine. Its non-greasy texture delivers lasting hydration without weighing hair down, while a small amount can tame flyaways and leave hair looking sleek, polished, and easy to manage.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is rich in beneficial compounds like oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid), squalene, and palmitic acid, which work as natural emollients to smooth and protect the hair cuticle—the outer layer of each strand. This ingredient can help lock in moisture, improve slip for easier detangling, reduce friction to minimize breakage, and leave dry or damaged hair feeling softer, smoother, and more manageable.
