What if we told you that taking care of your scalp is just as important as taking care of your facial skin?

I'm sure you're more willing to buy facial products than hair products and dedicate more time in your routine to massaging and moisturizing your skin. True or false? But perhaps that will change when we tell you that our scalp is an extension of the skin on our face. In fact, it's even more delicate and has less protective power against external aggressors.

Combing your hair, using a hairdryer, toxic hair products, excessive sun exposure, exposure to pollutants… All of these things weaken our hair. And the best way to take care of it is by giving extra care to our scalp, where our hair strands begin and where all the ingredients (good or bad) are absorbed.

Cleansing the scalp

When we wash our hair, we also need to thoroughly cleanse our scalp to remove the buildup of dead skin cells, oils, and dust. This is essential for preventing or treating scalp irritation and for achieving shiny hair. Choosing a shampoo and conditioner with natural plant extracts is the safest way to do this, because you'll be using 100% natural products full of benefits.

Think of the 1-2-3 rule.

Apply shampoo only to the scalp and massage it for a few minutes. Apply shampoo to the hair strands, washing them carefully. Apply conditioner and leave it on for about 3 minutes.

Hydrate

Now that summer is coming to an end, it's worth investing 200% in hydration (or re-hydration). The sun, with all its wonderful properties, also weakens the protein structure of the hair, leaving it drier – pay attention if you have colored hair, as these precautions should be doubled. A good hair mask, with moisturizing butters and botanical actives rich in vitamins and minerals, replenishes the hydration of your hair, strengthens collagen and prevents hair loss. If you can leave it on overnight, even better.

Massage

The simplest yet most powerful advice: Use your fingertips to massage everything you apply to your hair and scalp in a circular motion . The Super Hair Serum was specifically formulated for this crucial step in your routine. Plus, it will help you relax – and believe me, stress impacts hair follicles. When they become tense, they impede blood circulation and hair growth. Just like the mask, you only stand to gain by leaving it on overnight. Wash it thoroughly in the morning (you may need to shampoo twice) to ensure it removes excess oil.
