What does your weekly haircare routine look like? Shampoo, conditioner, a mask? Often overlooked, and key to healthy happy locks is scalp care treatments and products.

What exactly does your scalp do?

Think of your scalp as an extension of the skin on your forehead. There are oil glands, as well as sweat glands, and it’s constantly replacing old skin cells with new.

Is shampooing enough?

In short, it is for some but it isn’t for everyone. As the skin on your scalp is subject to the same environmental aggressors as the skin on the rest of your body – and in fact produces more sebum and oil than skin elsewhere – a face-care-esque regime makes sense. 

How do we know if we have a problem?

Itching, irritation, sensitivity, flaking, redness and breakouts are all signs of an unbalanced scalp.

Giving your hair and scalp a regular cleanse every 2 twice a wee a week can help prevent this. In saying this it is important to not over wash an irritated scalp as this can exacerbate the issue.
