When we think about hair health, we usually focus on shampoos, conditioners, and styling products. However, the true key to achieving stronger, shinier hair starts at the root—quite literally as a healthy scalp serves as the foundation for beautiful hair, and learning how to properly care for it can level up your hair care regimen.
The Science Behind Scalp Health
Our scalps are more than just the skin beneath our hair; it is a dynamic ecosystem composed of hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and a complex network of blood vessels. The health of your scalp plays a crucial role in nourishing each hair strand, impacting factors such as hair strength, growth and shine through:
Follicle Function: Hair growth begins in the follicles, which are small pockets in your scalp where hair cells reproduce. Maintaining a clean and balanced scalp fosters the perfect environment for these follicles to flourish.
Natural Oils: Sebum (your own personal permanent moisturiser), the scalp’s natural oil, keeps hair hydrated and smooth. However, an imbalance—too much or too little—can lead to issues like dandruff, itchiness, or greasiness.
Blood Circulation: The blood vessels in the scalp provide vital nutrients to the hair roots. When circulation is disrupted, it can weaken the follicles, hindering growth and increasing the likelihood of breakage.
Neglecting your scalp can result in issues that go beyond just your hair. Build up from styling products, sweat, and dead skin cells can block hair follicles, preventing growth and causing irritation - think inflammation, itchiness. Scalp problems like dryness or overproduction of oil can also affect your hair, leaving it looking dull and lifeless.
We believe that prioritising your scalp care in the same way you focus on your facial care routine can deliver phenomenal positive changes to your hair care journey to support hair growth and hair health; it does not have to be complicated.
A few easy tweaks to your routine on weekly basis can make a big difference and here’s how:
Massage While Shampooing: Use your fingertips (not nails) to gently massage your scalp in circular motions. This stimulates blood flow, helping deliver nutrients to follicles.
Clarify Regularly: Use a clarifying shampoo once a week to remove product build-up. Our Scalp Shampoo is specifically created to cleanse through build-up effectively whilst also hydrating your scalp and support it’s microbiome. In addition it contains nourishing ingredients such as Vitamin B5, a powerful humectant, and natural prebiotic inulin to work together to strengthen the scalp and hair,
Ongoing Hydration and Protection : Our skin tends to dry out during colder months, and remember, scalp is skin so ensure you’re giving it adequate hydration. Our Scalp Serum can be used every other day. Co created with leading Trichologists and unlike the temporary relief of oil-based serums, our Scalp Serum is formulated as a light and hydrating aqueous gel to offer long-lasting moisture and support for the microbiome whilst also helping to soothe irritation and strengthen the scalp's barrier function.
The hair you desire starts with a healthy foundation. By giving your scalp the care and attention it deserves, you’re not just nurturing the roots—you’re setting the stage for hair that shines with strength and vitality. So, the next time you lather up, take a moment to treat your scalp. Your hair will thank you!
