Scalp care is an essential part of hair care. Your scalp forms the foundation for healthy-looking hair, but what does a good routine look like? In this blog, we'll help you select the right products to create your perfect scalp care routine.

What is a scalp care routine?

1. Cleanse

What: Cleanse your scalp with a suitable scalp care shampoo.

Why: Helps remove sebum, sweat, dead skin cells and product build-up.

Don't forget: Choose a shampoo that suits your scalp type. If you want to learn more about your scalp type, read our blog all about scalp care.

2. Exfoliate

What: Use an exfoliant suitable for your scalp, for example one containing BHA.

Why: This can help reduce build-up and keep your scalp feeling fresh. It also helps remove dead skin cells.

Don't forget: Try exfoliating around once a week. If you have a sensitive scalp, consider exfoliating less frequently.

3. Treat

What: If suitable for your routine, apply a scalp serum, tonic or ampoule. Distribute the product evenly and gently massage it into your scalp for a relaxing care moment.

Why: These products provide your scalp with additional targeted care and can help address specific scalp needs.

Don't forget: Choose a product with ingredients that suit your scalp type and specific needs.

4. Protect

What: Protect your scalp against UV exposure, dryness and heat.

Why: This can help support your scalp's natural skin barrier and maintain its balance. Read our blog about barrier care for more information about supporting your skin barrier.

Don't forget: Try to avoid excessive heat and harsh treatments.
Vitamin C: Helps brighten the appearance of certain dark spots and contributes to a more even-looking complexion.

What can you do for an itchy scalp?

Choose the right shampoo. Some soaps and shampoos can irritate the scalp, so it's important to choose a mild or gentle shampoo that suits your scalp.

Is applying oil to your scalp a good idea?

Hair oil can be a useful addition to your routine, depending on your scalp and hair type. Choose a suitable oil and avoid applying too much product to the scalp.

Should you apply hair oil to wet or dry hair?

Both methods can work and offer different benefits. Applying oil to damp hair can help lock in moisture, while using it on dry hair can help improve smoothness and shine.

How should I apply hair oil?

Apply a small amount after styling your hair, focusing mainly on the lengths and ends.
