Scalp Care 101: The Secret to Healthy Hair

Why the scalp matters

The scalp is skin — and like facial skin, it can get oily, dry, flaky or congested. A balanced scalp supports stronger, healthier and fuller-looking hair.

A simple scalp routine

• Cleanse regularly with a shampoo suited to your scalp (clarifying for oil, gentle for dry).
• Exfoliate weekly with a scalp scrub or BHA to lift build-up.
• Treat itch, flakes or dryness with a soothing scalp serum.
• Support density with caffeine or peptide scalp serums.

Common scalp issues

Flakes and itch often respond to gentle exfoliation and anti-dandruff actives; an oily scalp needs regular, balanced cleansing (not harsh stripping); a dry, tight scalp needs soothing, hydrating care. Explore scalp care and hair care.
