Hair health is important; we’re totally with you on that one! But sometimes we focus so much on our hair that we can lose track of another important factor in our haircare routine – our scalp. Great hair starts at the scalp and that makes scalp care pretty important!

So, we want to give you all our wisdom on how to take care of your scalp so that you can feel refreshed, invigorated and ready to show off your luscious mane.

how do you know if your scalp is healthy?

Inflammation on the face or body is easy to spot, but when it comes to your scalp, identifying a problem can be slightly tricky. But this doesn’t mean it isn’t as important to treat!

A dry and itchy scalp can be down to many factors such as a poor diet, lack of hydration, or over-shampooing your hair. With amika, you don’t need to worry about the latter. Our perk up dry shampoo is perfect for those who wash their hair 3-4 times a week and want to add some voluminous oomph on the days in between.

So, let’s dive into some more scalp care tips and tricks to get your haircare routine the best it can be!

what’s the best dry scalp treatment?

1. cleanse your scalp with oils

A scalp oil can totally revitalise your hair! Our reset pink charcoal scalp cleansing oil is an oil-to-foam purifying pre-wash that banishes product build-up, absorbs toxins, and refreshes the hair. Its key ingredients, charcoal and pink clay, gently draw out impurities and leave you with a healthy, hydrated, and happy scalp.

2. treat yourself to a head massage

Whether a kind friend or loved one steps up, you do it yourself, or pay a professional – a scalp massage can do wonders for your scalp health. You can even turn your shower routine into a head massage.

Massaging your scalp will promote blood flow to the area, soothing nerves and increasing circulation. Gently massage your shampoo and conditioner into your scalp to nourish it with our all natural, potent ingredients.

3. exfoliate regularly

Give your scalp the TLC it craves with reset exfoliating jelly shampoo. Your scalp deserves as much careful attentiveness as the rest of your skin, so treat yourself to a deep clean to purify and rebalance your scalp.

4. stay hydrated

Hydration is a key factor for the overall good health of your body. Your skin will look better, you’ll feel better and have way more energy, and most importantly your scalp will thrive! As well as hydrating from the inside, your scalp can benefit from hydrating externally too. Our dream routine overnight hydration treatment is an ultra-hydrating silicone-free treatment that is clinically proven to reduce breakage by 26% and boost moisture for 72 hours.

If you follow these steps, giving your scalp and hair a total refresh will have you oozing confidence in no time.

So now you know how to give your scalp a little love, say bye to your dry scalp and hello to beautifully nourished strands from root to tip!
