Scalp treatments target the root of the problem (literally) as they remove debris, dead skin cells and excess oil from the scalp. Look out for products with salicylic acid, which helps to exfoliate and result in healthy hair follicles.

…to really cleanse your scalp thoroughly, step up your shampooing with a scalp massager. Using a brush like this helps to improve blood circulation and lifts away debris and dead skin cells.

After shampooing comes conditioning. Try to leave the conditioner on your hair for at least a few minutes (you can wash your face and body in the meantime) and avoid applying conditioner on your scalp.

Once or twice a week, follow or replace the conditioning step with a hair mask to really hydrate and moisturise your locks.

Styling products often cause our hair and scalp’s acidity level to decrease (and alkalinity to increase), causing dandruff or dry and itchy scalps. A vinegar rinse helps to bring the acidity level back to normal, sealing and repairing the hair cuticles.

Depending on how oily your scalp is, you can choose a lighter or denser serum to hydrate your scalp and promote follicle health.
