From weird to wonderful, we’ve come a long way. When STRAAND launched three years ago, scalp care was still sitting in the back corner of beauty. A little misunderstood. A lot underrated. And definitely not trending.
But we saw it coming. And so did you.
Somewhere along the way, scalp care got labelled as a ‘problem to fix,’ not a part of self-care. We’ve been told to hide flakes, soothe itch, or just scrub and hope.
But what if your scalp needed the same daily love as your face?
"Scalp issues are seriously common, but for a long time, we were made to feel like you couldn't look the shop assistant in the eye as they scanned your 'anti-dandruff' or anti-flake shampoos at the checkout. Nah, not anymore. Scalp products are cool now!
Exhibit A: STRAAND."
- Beauty Editor Amy Clarke, in one of our first ever press reviews!
Started With the Scalp. Stayed There.
Then: At the time, scalp care was boxed in as a “fix” for flakes, for itch, for embarrassment. That made us easy to dismiss as “just a dandruff brand.” And honestly? That label stuck longer than it should have.
The Crown Cleanse Shampoo was our start. Microbiome-first, sulfate-free, a risky neon orange and packed with prebiotics long before “scalp barrier” entered the chat. We had a homemade photoshoot, Zoë Foster Blake on our first PR list (eee!), and a very nervous team pressing ‘publish’ knowing full well we had to look like a brand, perform like a business, and deliver like a global beauty name… all while figuring it out in real time.
Now: We’ve evolved from one shampoo into a full ritual that supports your scalp every step of the way. Thoughtful formulas that tackle the root cause, not just the symptoms. From pre-wash options to our award-winning post-wash serum, we make it easy to slip scalp care into any routine.
The “just dandruff” label? It’s fading. Because ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy’ scalps aren’t a problem to hide or a status symbol, they’re the cheat code for hair that truly thrives. And we’re still here, leading the way.
From Vision Board to Out Of Stock.
Then: Somewhere between shipping orders and explaining what a microbiome is for the hundredth time, we did what every slightly sleep-deprived, overly ambitious marketing girl does: we made a vision board.
Yep. Full Pinterest-woo. Crystals might’ve been involved. The Adore Beauty logo was front and centre. So was a Tim Tam. Three months later? We were in. And frantically trying to keep up with orders.
Now: You’ll find us side-by-side with legacy names in some of the biggest beauty playgrounds like SEPHORA, Adore Beauty and OzHair; still figuring out how to stay in stock (some things never change). Not because we flipped the script on who we are, but because the world finally caught up. More shelves, more doors, and more scalp-first converts are on the way. 
Our biggest win? You.
Then: Big love to the early adopters who took a chance before we even had a marketing budget. You trusted a serum with “prebiotic” on the label, and you *actually* put it on your heads!? We felt seen.
We were shipping out of our kitchens, Googling packaging regs at midnight… and somehow, you still came with us. Influencers actually showed up to our first event (we thought it might just be us and the catering). You posted unboxings. You sent before-and-afters. You made this feel like more than a launch, like it scalp care mattered just as much to you, as it did for us.
Now: 50,000+ scalps later, you’ve turned a wild idea into a daily ritual. You’ve tagged us in your routines, shared your flaky-to-glazed glow-ups, and whispered us into your hairdressers’, sisters’, and group chats.
We’ve seen the before-and-afters, heard the DMs, and honestly? We’re still obsessed. Because scalp care was never meant to be a last-minute fix. It’s a daily practice, and it only exists because you showed up first.
Speaking of, we're leaving a little easter egg for those of you who made it this far.
Celebrate 3 years of scalp-loving with us, and we'll throw in three full-sized products from Aussie brands we love: Bangn Body, Sundae Body and Urban Jungle.
First 50 orders over $100 get the goods, happy restocking.

I am infinitely grateful to Priest Alaska for bringing my wife back to me after she had left me for another man. She had become emotionally distant, lost all affection, and finally declared that our marriage was over. Nothing I tried could stop her. Comments I read online about Priest Alaska gave me new hope, so I contacted him. He reassured me, told me the problem wasn’t serious, and promised she would return within 48 hours. I was full of doubts, but she actually came home in tears; she regretted everything and didn’t know what had come over her at the time. Our family is happy and reunited again. Visit https://dralaskaspellcaster.mystrikingly.com or send an email to alaskaspellcaster44@gmail.com. WhatsApp: +233 59 274 5728. Thank you, Priest Alaska, for your amazing work.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy! On December 31, my life changed forever when I won $2 million in the POWERBALL drawing. I want to share my incredible story with the world, and I must give credit to the amazing spell caster, Dr. Oniha. His lottery spell was the key to unlocking my winning fortune. I had been playing the lottery for years, but my numbers never seemed to match. That was until I met Dr. Oniha. His guidance and expertise gave me the confidence to take a chance on his spell. Dr. Oniha’s spell was like a beacon of hope, shining brightly in my darkest moments. His words of encouragement and support kept me focused and motivated. When I won, I was in shock! I couldn’t believe my eyes. Dr. Oniha’s spell had worked its magic, and I am now a multimillionaire. I urge everyone to seek Dr. Oniha’s help if they’re struggling financially or need a change in their lives. His spells are real, and his expertise is unmatched.

I wanted to take a moment to share my incredible journey with all of you. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it felt like my world was turned upside down. I explored various treatment options, but I was still searching for something that could truly help me heal.
That’s when I came across Dr. Disu and his herbal medicine. Skeptical at first, I decided to give it a try, and I’m so grateful that I did! With his guidance and the power of his herbal remedies, I began to feel a shift in my body. The support I received was not just physical but emotional as well.
Today, I am thrilled to share that I am cancer-free! I truly believe that Dr. Disu’s herbal medicine played a significant role in my healing journey. If you or someone you know is facing a similar battle like, Prostate cancer, ALS, Herpes, Tinnitus, diabetes, etc
