Scalp care IS skincare. Looking to balance your scalp this winter, but not sure where to start? This post is for you! 

Your scalp is the canvas for growth and healthy strands. Plus, taking time to massage and care for your scalp is one of our favorite acts of selfceare. We’ve crafted a routine that’s perfect for you and the whole family. We use these 5 simple steps to keep our scalp healthy:

1. Cleanse

Regularly wash with a gentle shampoo to banish dirt, oil, and product buildup. Clean scalp, happy hair. Wash weekly or no more than 2x a week for wash-and-go styles.

2. Exfoliate

Scrub away dead skin cells and unclog hair follicles. A clean slate for healthy growth. Use an exfoliating cleansing shampoo, or a shampoo brush (e.g., silicone) every 2-3 weeks.

3. Moisturize

Hydrate to prevent dryness and flakiness with a nourishing conditioner and leave-in conditioner every time you wash, like our Shine + Moisture Mask. Say goodbye to dryness and hello to balance.

4. Massage

Boost blood flow, relieve stress, and enhance serum absorption. A few minutes a day can make all the difference. Use a light oil close to the scalp’s sebum to prevent buildup. Looking to soothe? Try our Soothing Scalp Serum. Looking to stimulate growth? Go for our Grow + Strengthen Elixir.

5. Hands-Off

Our hands and fingernails are full of bacteria and other nasties. Resist the urge to scratch with nails, stick to the pads of the fingers if you must. But it’s best to keep hands away.
