FAQ
Which shampoo is best for scalp care?
Your scalp is your skin, so don’t forget to treat it in the same way! Gentle shampoos such as our Kind to Microbiome Light and Rich Cleanse shampoos do not disturb your scalp’s microbiome or strip your natural oils are ideal for maintaining a healthy scalp and in turn your hair. It’s also important to gently wash away product buildup, excess sebum and sweat from your scalp to prevent any clogging of your pores - we recommend a double cleanse.
Is scalp health important for healthy hair growth?
Scalp health is extremely important for healthy hair growth! Not only does your scalp produce natural oils that moisturise and protect your hair, but it also provides blood circulation to your follicles, promoting healthy hair. Massaging your scalp through regular brushing, as well as keeping your scalp clean from excess product build up, is crucial to maintain an optimal environment for hair growth.
Why is my scalp sensitive and itchy?
Dryness is a common cause of sensitive and itchy scalps. One of the reasons your scalp may be dry is excessive stripping of its natural oils. A dry scalp can be caused by using harsh products that strip your natural oils. Gentle shampoos such as our Kind to Microbiome Light and Rich Cleanse do not disturb your scalp’s microbiome maintaining a healthy environment for your hair and scalp.
How to keep your scalp healthy?
Cleanse with gentle shampoos as harsh formulations might imbalance the microorganisms on your scalp and lead to over-stripping. Try our microbiome-friendly Light Cleanse or Rich Cleanse shampoos. Avoid product build up as it can clog hair follicles, trap scalp oils, cause irritation, and disrupt the microbiome. If you go days between shampoos whilst using excessive amount of dry shampoo or styling products on the scalp - it’s important that you thoroughly cleanse your scalp. Lastly, lack of sun exposure can cause vitamin D deficiency and can trigger a host of health problems including poor scalp health. Safe sun exposure helps support healthy vitamin D levels.
