Why scalp care is your summer haircare secret
When we think about hair care, we often just focus on the strands - shiny, smooth, and healthy-looking hair is always the priority. But if the foundation of great hair is a healthy scalp, why do we always forget to include the scalp in our hair care routines?
Just like your skin needs extra attention in the summer, so does your scalp. Increased sun exposure, sweat, product build-up (we know you’re using the dry shampoo more), and all the time spent outdoors will leave your scalp needing help.
But don’t worry - we’re here to help!
What happens to your scalp in the summer
Warmer months mean more heat, humidity, and sweat. This combination can clog follicles which can lead to itchiness or even thinning hair over time. If you add in the overuse of dry shampoo (we’re all guilty), sunscreen, and even pool chemicals, your scalp will suddenly be under a lot of stress. This means a scalp-loving summer routine isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.
How to show your scalp some love this season
If you think about skincare, you know that you need to regularly cleanse and exfoliate your face - your scalp is no different! Your scalp benefits from regular detoxing and nourishment. The good news is that you can give your scalp what i needs in salon and at home.
In-salon options to nourish your scalp
Add a head massage to your next appointment - our Relax, Sooth, & Style appointment is a favourite for a reason. Enjoy a 20-minute head massage followed by a blowout style.
Book a targeted scalp treatment - we’ve launched the Essential Treatment that gives your scalp & hair exactly what it’s looking for. Begin with a soothing head massage, followed by scalp exfoliation, and finished with a deep conditioning session.
At-home tips to keep your scalp happy
Use a clarifying shampoo & conditioner - refresh, revitalize, and nourish your hair and scalp with a system designed to remove build-up and impurities! We love the ReNeu line by Neuma.
Don’t be afraid to exfoliate - physically exfoliating your scalp removes dead skin cells, product build-up, and environmental toxins. We recommend exfoliating weekly or after periods of heavy-product use! You can use a scalp scrub before you shampoo or use a scalp massager with a scalp treatment for a luxurious & effective experience.
Nourish & hydrate your scalp - directly provide treatment to your scalp with a scalp oil or scalp serum that provides targeted results.
Scalp care = hair care
We love helping you look and feel like your best self - and that begins with your scalp. Book your appointment online to get your hair & scalp summer-ready, and be sure to shop our online store (or come into the salon) for some scalp-loving products. We can’t wait to see you!
