How to improve scalp health: tips & treatments

Looking to improve the health of your scalp for strong, shiny hair? We’re here to help! We've collated our top tips to help you on your healthy hair journey, and have provided some key product recommendations.

How to improve scalp health?

Without a healthy scalp, we can't expect hair to grow healthily. Improving scalp health firstly means avoiding things that will damage your scalp, such as using excessive heat, styling your hair too tightly, or being too rough with your hair. However, one of the main things that could be damaging your scalp is using the wrong hair care products. Treating your scalp gently, and with care, attention and the right products, can make all the difference.

How do I get rid of dry scalp?

Dry scalp can be caused by a variety of factors, including cold weather, harsh shampoos, ageing and even stress. If you're experiencing dryness, it's important to avoid scratching or picking at your scalp, as this can lead to further irritation. If you are wondering how to treat your dry scalp, we have the perfect solution.

Our scalp solutions overnight renewal serum is an overnight scalp treatment that is enriched with hyaluronic acid to help defend against the visible signs of premature scalp ageing while you sleep. This serum also helps to improve scalp hydration and barrier strength.

It’s important to note that if your dry scalp continues after changing your hair care products and routine, please seek medical advice.

How to clean your scalp?

Our scalp solutions balancing shampoo gently cleanses the scalp to help remove excess oil, impurities and pollution. We also have a scalp solutions stimulating scalp massagerwhich you can use to gently and effectively lift impurities from the scalp. The thin, long bristles have a flexible reach to the scalp through wet hair, which increases scalp micro-circulation, all while enhancing your sensorial scalp care experience.

How to moisturise your scalp?

Moisturising your scalp is just as important as moisturising your skin. When your scalp is dry, it can lead to itching, flaking, and even hair loss. To keep your scalp moisturised, it's important to use products that are specifically formulated for this purpose.

Our scalp solutions balancing shampoo not only cleanses the scalp but also boosts scalp hydration by 92% after 1 week*, and 128% after 2 weeks**. It does this by removing excess oil, impurities and pollution from your scalp and hair. This shampoo is designed to be used as often as every day, but be careful not to over-wash as this can strip oil from your scalp, leaving it drier. Try to avoid using very hot water as this can aggravate your scalp – if possible, body temperature water is best. It’s also important to not rough dry your hair with a towel. Instead, gently pat your hair dry with the towel because vigorously drying your hair can irritate a sensitive scalp.

Our scalp solutions replenishing conditioner is a gentle conditioner that hydrates and replenishes hair and scalp. The lightweight formula improves scalp hydration instantly and overtime, and perfectly complements our shampoo.
