One area that’s often overlooked and forgotten is scalp health. Like the skin elsewhere it can become clogged and dull. Even more so if an excess of harsh hair products are used. Often not designed for skin, these products seep down, build up and easily clog the hair follicles. Combined with poor diet and lack of exercise it can lead to some chronic scalp and hair conditions.

Allowed to develop, poor scalp health can also lead to weaker thinner hair growth. Scalps need to breathe easy, free of the suffocating product build up, pollution, excess sebum, oils and dead skin.
