Here at Neroli Salon & Spa, we have seen every kind of scalp. Our hairstylists are experts in helping guests with their scalp health. A clean and well-maintained scalp serves as the foundation for strong, healthy hair. Studies show that a compromised scalp can directly impact hair growth and can cause issues like inflammation, dryness, and excessive oil production*. Neglecting your scalp can lead to clogged follicles, irritation, and slowed hair growth. To achieve your hair goals, it’s crucial to continue scalp care at home along with routine visits to our salon.
Some benefits of taking care of your scalp
- Promotes Hair Growth: A healthy scalp provides the ideal environment for hair follicles to thrive, leading to stronger, faster-growing hair.
- Reduces Dandruff and Itching: Removing excess oil, dead skin, and buildup prevents the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria, which are common culprits behind dandruff and scalp irritation.
- Prevents Hair Thinning and Breakage: When your scalp is in good condition, your hair strands are less likely to become weak and break off.
- Balances Oil Production: Proper scalp care helps regulate sebum levels, preventing an overly oily or excessively dry scalp.
How to Take Care of Your Scalp at Home
This guide is designed by our expert hairstylists who touch different scalps every day.
1. Exfoliate Regularly
Just like your skin, your scalp benefits from exfoliation. Using a gentle scalp scrub or a clarifying shampoo once a week will help remove buildup and dead skin cells. This promotes and unclogs hair follicles. Aveda’s Scalp Solutions Exfoliating Treatment is a liquid gel exfoliant that instantly reduces sebum by 76%*. It instantly removes surface pollution and product buildup without disrupting the moisture barrier. Apply the treatment one to two times a week before shampooing your hair.
2. Massage Your Scalp
A gentle massage helps distribute natural oils evenly. You can use Aveda’s scalp massager with the exfoliating treatment for maximum results. Irina, a hairstylist at the Mequon location, shares her best practices using the Aveda Scalp massager, “I like to use it before I hop in the shower. It will help lift off the built-up product and dead skin, so when you cleanse with shampoo it really does a deep clean.”
Massaging your scalp for a few minutes while shampooing or applying oil helps improve blood circulation, which nourishes the hair follicles and encourages growth.
3. Keep It Hydrated
Just like your skin, your scalp needs hydration. Consider using a lightweight, leave-in scalp serum or a hydrating scalp mask to keep your scalp moisturized. Reduce scalp flaking from dryness with Scalp Solutions Overnight scalp treatment. Using the serum will help defend against the visible signs of premature scalp aging while you sleep, improving scalp hydration and barrier strength. Or if you prefer something you can wash out, use the hydrating scalp solutions mask. The mask has dual-impact moisture technology and relieves discomfort from scalp dryness leaving hair smooth, shiny and hydrated.
4. Avoid Over washing
Washing your hair too frequently strips your scalp of its natural oils, leading to dryness, breakage, frizz, and potential irritation, especially for people with curly or textured hair. Over-washing can remove more oil than necessary, leaving hair brittle and damaged. Our hairstylists recommend washing your hair two to three times a week, depending on your scalp type.
