A scalp detox is a deep cleanse of the scalp to free follicles of any debris, rebalance the pH of the skin, reduce residue leftover from hair products, pollution, hard water, oils and dead skin cells, removing the ‘gunk’ thereby unclogging your hair follicles creating a better environment for healthy hair.
Some signs you could benefit from a scalp facial and hair detox treatment.
1. Itchy or red scalp
2. Flakes with or without itchiness
3. Dull and or lifeless hair
4. Dry brittle and or frizzy hair
5. Tangly hair and or split ends
6. Grey hair that is resistant to color or your color fades quickly
7. Hair color process makes your head itch or burn
8. Thinning hair
9. Breaking hair or hair that doesn’t seem to grow past a certain length
10.Unmanageable due to stiffness, straw-like or heavy feel.
The cause of the above symptoms generally includes a buildup of excess sebum (oil). As your skin sheds it gets stuck in the sebum and produces fungus/yeast, (Malassezia) which thrives in an oily environment. This fungus/yeast produces waste that can irritate the scalp leading to inflammation, hair thinning, shedding and any of the above challenges. Treating the symptoms means interrupting this process an creating a clean environment for healthy hair to grow.
I am a certified Trichologist, not a dermatologist.
I will not diagnose or treat any skin condition. What I can do is:
1. Using Trichoscopic, gain imagery to show you your scalp up close.
2. Give you examples and characteristics of what a scalp free of build-up looks like.
3. I can then perform a treatment using a nature-identical vitamin crystal complex that is formulated without preservatives, parabens, glycol, gluten or sodium chloride to effectively remove this build-up.
Each treatment is hermetically sealed to ensure fresh activation. I find this important to point out as so many treatments contain harsh chemicals.
What does the treatment include?
First you will complete a scalp/health history form which will give me in-site as to what may be contributing to your scalp and hair challenges and time to work on a specialized treatment and at home plan for you.
When you arrive, we will complete a head map scope of your scalp, discuss the findings and go over your form.
I will begin with a deep exfoliation of the scalp followed by the Detox treatment. You will process with the Spa Mist 11 cap for 20 minutes.
After a thorough rinse and final demineralizing shampoo we will finish with a relaxing massage, conditioning treatment and hot towel wrap.
A head map scope will be performed again to document the progress. This is not a one and done event. Just like you go to the dentist for a cleaning and maintain at home by brushing and flossing or you get a facial and then wash your face and moisturize daily, your scalp wellness plan will be ongoing. It most likely will take time to completely resolve however you will see improvement immediately.
I will then discuss with you the customized plan including at home treatments, massage and exfoliation techniques and other helpful strategies you can use to support the healing process.
We are a team in this healthy hair journey, and I am committed to doing my best and excited to share and help you integrate these new rituals into your daily routine.
