You might not have considered scalp care as part of your wellbeing routine up until now. But, like the skin on your face, it’s an area that really benefits from some TLC. If you have a dry, oily or sensitive scalp – or have a condition like psoriasis or eczema – scalp treatments can be game-changing.
Essentially, the skin on your scalp needs a little more help. It’s more delicate than the skin on the rest of your body, with a lower ‘barrier function’ – meaning it isn’t as good at maintaining and replenishing moisture. It also contains higher numbers of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, which secrete oily sebum. All of this means that the skin on your scalp can easily become unbalanced – too dry, too oily, lots of dandruff, sensitive, itchy or all of the above. The good news? All of this is normal and can be remedied with the right cleansing, re-balancing and moisturising scalp treatments.
The right hair and scalp products, used correctly, can be transformative. We use DAVINES for all our scalp treatments – they don’t contain the chemicals found in many mainstream hair care products such as silicones (which just coat the hair and scalp) and sulfates (which strip it of moisture). The remedies use organic, sustainable ingredients and make a genuine difference to your scalp and hair.
You can help keep your scalp in optimum condition by cleansing (shampooing) it regularly. Give yourself a little massage as you do it – the movement helps improve your scalp’s blood circulation and stimulates hair growth. Follow your shampoo with a conditioner compatible with your scalp to keep your hair hydrated and soothed. Drop in or make an appointment and we’ll happily advise you on what products and scalp treatments will work best for you.
