Your hair feeling a bit blah lately? Is it just hanging there, all lifeless-like? Or is it that your scalp is acting up again? And just as you've had some peace and got to enjoy all the lovely hair products you've been dying to try? Has it punished you with itchiness and dryness in return? Might be just the right time to introduce a scalp serum! Let's get right to it: all scalp serums are scalp treatments, but not all scalp treatments are scalp serums. The difference? Well, what does a serum make? Just as in face and body care, where we have facial serums and body serums, the skin on our heads also requires skincare. And sometimes that skincare, scalpcare (sorry), means bringing out the big guns, each for a target of their own.

Just like facial serums, scalp serums are made with concentrated ingredients and they provide a more targeted treatment to help address specific scalp or hair concerns. Plus, any scalp issues can directly affect hair health, its feel, and beauty. You will discover how the same way skin on our faces and bodies signals to us of changed needs (through feelings of tightness, congestion, lack of luster, for instance), when we included targeting serums in our routines and it proved to be a game-changer — so our scalp benefits just as much from scalp serums when we provide what is needed. We've selected various ones for you to get better acquainted with this product — whether you are about to try one for the first time ever, or wish to address thinning hair, product buildup, excessive oiliness or are dealing with hair and scalp issues due to hormonal re-balancing post pregnancy — you are bound to find (at least) one that will seem tailor-made for your current needs!
