Scalp Care & Anti Dandruff

The scalp is an extension of the face, so your scalp and haircare routine deserves just as much attention as your skincare regime!

A dry scalp or scaly scalp can occur when the skin on your head loses moisture. The condition can cause itching and flaking, and in some cases dandruff. You may even be experiencing psoriasis on the scalp.  

To provide relief from a dry, itchy scalp, we recommend switching to a calming shampoo, such as the Kerastase Specifique Bain Vital Dermo-Calm 250ml. This shampoo eliminates scalp and hair impurities, purifying the scalp whilst reducing scalp itchiness and sensitivity. L'Oréal Professionnel Sensi Balance Shampoo 500ml is a  gentle, cleansing, scalp-comforting shampoo, enriched with Sorbitol to both soothe and refresh the scalp.

You may also like a treatment to add to your Dry Scalp haircare routine. The Nioxin Scalp Treatment 1 - 100ml creates an optimal scalp environment for vital hair and skin health, whilst Glyco-proteins create thickness from inside the cuticle whilst strengthening the hair strand. We also recommend the Inkey List - Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment 150ml, which cleanses and clarifies the scalp to calm irritation, minimize itching, soothe redness and eradicate flaking.

Everyone’s scalp can get a little oily at times, and a small amount is good for our hair. Sometimes, however, our sebaceous glands go into overdrive and we end up with a greasy scalp and hair.

Oily hair is essentially a result of excess sebum. To keep the oil at bay, we recommend a lightweight shampoo for your regular haircare routine. The Alfaparf Rebalance Oily Scalp Bundle contains a gentle shampoo designed for scalps suffering from excess sebum, and a tonic to increase hair density and body whilst energising and revitalising the scalp. L'Oréal Professionnel Pure Resource Shampoo - 300ml is a purifying aqua crystal formulation, incorporating Citramine and Vitamin E. The formula lifts residue and product build-up and rinses away hard-water residues, leaving the scalp and hair feeling clean and nourished. We also recommend a treatment to use as part of your weekly haircare regime, such as the Revolution Haircare Salicylic Acid Clarifying Scalp Serum 50ml, which uses the key ingredient salicylic acid to exfoliate and remove oil build-up. Tea Tree Oil refreshes the scalp, leaving it clean and purified.

Did you know that dandruff affects up to 50% of people? Some causes of dandruff include a Dry Scalp, Oily Scalp (otherwise known as excess sebum) and a micro-organism called Malassezia, a fungi found on the skin surfaces of many humans. Our scalps have more sebaceous glands than anywhere else on our bodies, which means that dandruff prevention and control is important.

If you’re noticing dandruff flakes on your scalp and in your hair, start with a cleansing shampoo like the Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Scalp REBALANCE Purify Shampoo 250ml, which gently cleanses, rebalances and normalises the scalp. We also recommend Kérastase Symbiose Moisturising Anti-Dandruff Cellular Shampoo 250ml, which is formulated with Salicylic Acid for a breathable scalp and piroctone olamine that acts on all the causes of dandruff, helping to reduce yeast proliferation and slow down cellular renewal speed.

A gentle scrub will also be a welcome addition to your anti-dandruff haircare regime. The paraben free, sulfate free and cruelty free Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Scalp Rebalance Gentle Exfoliating Scrub 150ml contains a blend of pro and pre-biotics to balance the scalp and normalizing active ingredients to prevent scalp flaking.
