Beauty starts from healthy skin, and with that same logic, healthy hair begins at the scalp. Whether your hair is thinning, breaking apart at the ends, or falling more than usual, it’s likely that it can be traced back to your scalp.

Using products like shampoos, conditioners, masks, or serums, will of course have an impact on thinning hair. But to make those products as effective as they can be, you should start at the base first. Fortifying your hair care routine with scalp care products like a scalp tonic or serum will create a healthy environment for your hair to grow. In general, if your scalp is clogged, dry, inflamed, or itchy, it becomes the root of many larger problems like dandruff and hair loss.

From exfoliating treatments to growth-stimulating serums, here is a list of scalp care products to get you started.

This cult product by the French hair expert features a fortifying concentration of essential oils, such as orange (toning, stimulating) and lavender (anti-inflammatory), that boosts the efficacy of active ingredients deep into your scalp.

Taking a two-pronged approach to encourage fuller hair, this scalp serum works to clear away debris on our scalp while stimulating hair bulbs. Thanks to a blend of AHA, niacin and caffeine, it helps purge your scalp while delivering nutrients to the hair follicles. You may feel that your hair and scalp feel lighter and more refreshed.
