Overview

Why Scalp Health Matters

Your scalp is the foundation for healthy hair growth. A clean, nourished scalp produces stronger hair. Issues like dryness, flaking, itching, and buildup can slow growth and cause discomfort, especially under braids and locs. Regular scalp treatments prevent these problems.

Types of Scalp Treatments

Clarifying treatments remove product buildup and excess oil
Moisturizing treatments combat dryness and flaking
Tea tree treatments address itching and irritation
Deep scalp massages increase blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting growth
We offer all of these at our salon

How Often to Treat Your Scalp

We recommend a professional scalp treatment every 4-6 weeks, or whenever you get a retwist or new braids installed. Between salon visits, you can maintain scalp health at home with a lightweight oil (jojoba, tea tree, or peppermint) applied 2-3 times per week.

Signs You Need a Scalp Treatment

Persistent itching, visible flaking, tightness or tenderness, unusual hair shedding, or a noticeable odor are all signs your scalp needs attention. Do not ignore these symptoms — early treatment prevents bigger problems down the road.

Healthy scalp = healthy hair growth
