Healthy Scalp = Healthy Hair

Each hair grows from, and through, an individual follicle which surfaces on the scalp. Sebum (oil) is also produced by the follicle and the amount will vary from person to person. It is essential that the follicles and the scalp, are clean, clear and healthy because follicles that are full of oil or blocked by dead skin will have an impact on the quality of hair growth.

It is so important that dead skin is removed by brushing or washing, but also by weekly exfoliation.
