SCALP SAVIOURS
Scrub, soothe and stimulate your roots for a happy head and healthy hair growth with these five simple steps
DISSOLVE PRODUCT BUILD-UP
Daily pollutants and using styling products means that over time impurities will build up around your roots. This is where a preshampoo treatment comes in. Every couple of weeks, slather this jelly through your hair and scalp and let the vitamin C-packed formula work its magic. It will dissolve dirt, leftover product and oil to create a healthier scalp – leaving your locks feeling rejuvenated even before your usual rinse.
PHILIP KINGSLEY VITAMIN C JELLY DETOXIFYING HAIR AND SCALP TREATMENT, £28 FOR PACK OF 4
BUFF AWAY FLAKES
Dandruff is a common problem, and can often be solved by keeping your scalp hydrated and nourished. This natural scrub is made from tiny pieces of coconut and walnut shell, and will buff away flakes and dead skin, while the guava extracts and coconut oil soothe and deeply hydrate. Rub through wet roots once or twice a week before rinsing away and following up with your shampoo.

CONTROL & CLEANSE
Swap your usual shampoo for Head and Shoulders’ new Deep Cleanse range and you’ll give your scalp the equivalent of a facial. There are three options aimed at tackling individual needs, which include oil control (with citrus), itch relief (using soothing peppermint) and a scalp detox (containing purifying sea minerals) – and all while fighting flakes and giving your barnet a glossy shine. Win!
The skin on your head is just as important as your face when it comes to moisturising. Using a scalp serum will keep the area hydrated and nourished. The combination of ginger and birch bark in this feather-light liquid will help rebalance your natural oils, without feeling heavy or sticky. After drying your hair, massage a couple of drops through your parting and hairline and leave in throughout the day.
THE BODY SHOP GINGER SCALP SERUM, £15
If a head massage puts you into a state of Zen then you’re in luck – this handy tool means you can get your scalp tingling while binge-watching your favourite box set! If you’re having scalp issues in-between washes, use this stimulating massager to improve circulation. It can be used on wet or dry hair – just simply press against your crown and move in circular motions. Boosting blood flow will stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth – all while being seriously relaxing.
