A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong and luscious hair. When your scalp is well-nourished, it promotes hair growth, reduces dryness and flakiness, and helps maintain the overall health of your hair. Below we'll share some top tips and product recommendations to nourish your roots! All products are available through our online shop.
Keep Your Scalp Clean
Regularly washing your hair and scalp is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment. It helps remove excess oil, product buildup, and impurities. Look for gentle and sulfate-free shampoos that won't strip away natural oils from your scalp. We offer a variety of cleansing shampoos, such as the Reset Pink Charcoal Scalp Cleansing Oil by Amika and the Scalp Spa Wash by Kevin Murphy, which are specifically designed to cleanse and purify the scalp without causing dryness.
Exfoliate Your Scalp
Just like your skin, your scalp can benefit from regular exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and unclog hair follicles. We recommend the Scalp Spa Scrub by Kevin Murphy or the Reset Exfoliating Jelly Shampoo by Amika, gentle scrubs infused with natural ingredients. They help to gently exfoliate the scalp and promote a healthier environment for hair growth.
Moisturize Your Scalp
A well-moisturized scalp is essential to prevent dryness, itchiness, and flakiness. Look for lightweight and non-greasy scalp oils or serums that provide nourishment without weighing down your hair. The Scalp Spa Serum by Kevin Murphy is a great option. It contains hydrating and soothing ingredients like rose flower oil and lavender oil, which help balance the scalp's moisture levels.
Massage Your Scalp
Regular scalp massages stimulate blood circulation, which in turn promotes hair growth and strengthens the hair follicles. You can use your fingertips or a scalp massaging tool to gently massage your scalp in circular motions.
Protect Your Scalp
Shielding your scalp from harmful UV rays and environmental aggressors is crucial for maintaining its health. Spending the day at the beach? Wear a hat!

Eat a Balanced Diet
Nourishing your hair starts from within. Ensure you consume a well-balanced diet that includes essential nutrients for healthy hair growth. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, E, and biotin, along with omega-3 fatty acids, contribute to scalp health. Additionally, drinking an adequate amount of water promotes hydration, benefiting both your scalp and hair.
