Scalp health is often overlooked despite being crucial for maintaining healthy hair. Our scalp is made of skin just like our faces, we wash our face daily and regularly cleanse it, but we forget about our scalps. So, let’s delve into why scalp care is so vital and explore some effective solutions sourced by leading Consultant Trichologist, Eva Proudman.

  

 1. UNDERSTANDING SCALP HEALTH 

The scalp is 7% of the total skin on our bodies and contains over 180,000 oil glands so as you can imagine it needs to be well looked after. Ideally washing the scalp and hair should be daily or every other day, to keep the scalp clear and well balanced.  It is a myth that you can over wash and remove all of the natural oils, this could only happen if you were using harsh products that dry and dehydrate both the hair and scalp.

 

 2. THE BENEFITS OF A SCALP TREATMENT  

Conditions such as itchy flaky scalps can be a real problem as well as being uncomfortable. Often people can be embarrassed by the white flakes falling onto their clothes but there are tried and tested treatments that can help manage most conditions. 

Having a regular scalp treatment alongside a good hair care routine can be extremely beneficial. Not only will it help to clear and balance the scalp, but it will also allow your regular shampoo and conditioner to do a better job. 

At Regis, we have worked with leading trichologist Eva Proudman, to develop a scalp treatment which will:  

  • Reduce oxidative stress and free radical damage  
  • Protect the scalp from conditions such as dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and psoriasis 
  • Bring blood flow into the hair follicle to encourage hair growth 
  • Reduce general stress levels 
  • Leave your scalp well balanced and hydrated for optimum hair health 

The Regis scalp cream has been specially formulated to manage and balance the scalp.  The ingredients in the scalp therapy cream are 98% natural and harness active ingredients such as eucalyptus and star anise that are proven to stimulate the hair follicle to promote hair growth, sooth itching, remove flaking and add hydration - all key to a healthy balanced scalp.  The salicylic acid provides great exfoliation without the rough gritty texture of a scrub and provides outstanding exfoliation to clear and balance the scalp.
