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 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

Thank you for letting me share my story. Let’s continue to support one another on our paths to health and wellness
AI has caused me more problems than it has solved. I was connected to a cryptocurrency trader through AI and lost my hard-earned money to a scam. If it weren’t for the assistance of Lord Meduza, whom my sister-in-law recommended to me, I wouldn’t have been able to win the $435 MILLION Mega Millions Lottery. My life could have taken a drastic turn due to the overwhelming bills I faced after being cheated by the crypto traders. Lord Meduza utilized his extraordinary spell powers to determine the perfect six numbers I needed to win the Mega Millions Lottery, and I followed his instructions to play those numbers. I am incredibly thankful for the support, love, and kindness he has shown, which is beyond measure.

A LIFE-CHANGING LOTTERY WIN THROUGH LORD BUBUZA’S GUIDANCE
I can never stop thanking Lord Bubuza for the help I received. I love playing lottery games, but I had never won before. My bills were piling up, and my job was not enough to cover my expenses.
I searched online for ways to improve my life and came across testimonials from people who testified that they had won big after receiving lottery numbers from Lord Bubuza. I contacted him through WhatsApp at +1 (365) 808 5313 and explained that I wanted to win the Powerball lottery. He explained what I needed to do before providing lottery numbers. I followed his instructions carefully, and after the spell was cast, he gave me numbers and explained where and how to play.
I was amazed when I won $310,500,000 after playing the numbers he gave me. This experience changed my life, Lord Bubuza is a God on Earth. Contact him for help too by
