The Scalp’s Role in Hair Health

When it comes to hair care, most people focus on the hair itself, but healthy hair actually starts with the scalp. Nicky, Co-Owner of Holistic Hair and a certified Trichologist and Cosmetic Chemistry, explains that a healthy scalp is key to healthy hair. It affects your hair follicles and growth. Taking care of your scalp, just like you do your skin, is crucial for maintaining healthy hair.


What Does a Healthy Scalp Mean?

The scalp houses hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and a microbiome, all working together to create an environment conducive to healthy hair. However, disruptions like excess oil, fungal overgrowth, product buildup, or inflammation can lead to issues such as dandruff, irritation, and hair thinning. A well-balanced scalp promotes optimal hair growth, while an imbalanced scalp can disrupt this natural cycle.


Maintaining Scalp Balance: 3 Key Products Holistic Hair Offers

  1. Nourish and Repair with Scalp Treatment Oil Holistic Hair's Scalp Treatment Oil soothes, moisturises, repairs, and nourishes the scalp with a blend of botanical oils. This formula is especially beneficial for dry, irritated scalps, reducing inflammation and promoting blood flow through gentle massage. Apply it once or twice a week, massaging into the scalp before washing, to support the health of your hair follicles

  2. Detoxify and Balance with Herbal Finishing Rinse Concentrate Buildup is a common cause of scalp irritation. Holistic Hair's Herbal Finishing Rinse Concentrate, made with apple cider vinegar and herbal extracts like lavender and chamomile, balances the scalp’s pH and removes product residue. Use it as the final step in your wash routine to detoxify the scalp, leaving it fresh and ready to support healthy hair growth and shine.

  3. Support Hair Growth and Protect with Essential Scalp Spray The Essential Scalp Spray provides a convenient way to support hair growth. This lightweight, non-greasy spray combines rosemary, bergamot, and neroli to enhance circulation to the hair follicles, helping to reduce hair fall. Simply spritz it onto the scalp and leave it on to allow the active ingredients to work their magic.

          Essential Tips for Scalp Care

          • Keep the Scalp Clean: Maintaining a clean scalp is vital for preventing harmful bacteria, fungal overgrowth, and clogged follicles. Regular cleansing helps create a healthy environment, but avoid overwashing, as this can strip the scalp of beneficial oils. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type.

          • Scalp Massages: Incorporate regular scalp massages into your routine to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth. Even a few minutes daily can make a significant difference in scalp health.

          • Nutrition Matters: A balanced diet is crucial for scalp health. Include protein, leafy greens, omega-3s, antioxidants, and vitamins A, D, and E to nourish your scalp from within.
