Frequently Asked Questions
What are scalp treatments?
Scalp treatments are hair-care products designed specifically for the scalp. Depending on the formula, they may help cleanse, moisturise, condition, refresh or support targeted scalp-care routines.
How often should I use a scalp treatment?
Usage depends on the specific product and its intended purpose. Follow the manufacturer's directions because some treatments are designed for occasional use while others may be suitable for more regular application.
Are scalp treatments suitable for dry scalps?
Some scalp treatments are formulated with moisturising or conditioning ingredients and may be suitable for dry-feeling scalps. Check the product description and ingredient information to select a formula appropriate for your needs.
Can I use a scalp treatment on oily hair?
Yes. People with oily scalps can consider lightweight treatments designed for scalp care. Avoid applying more product than recommended, and choose formulas that fit your cleansing and styling routine.
Should scalp treatments be applied before or after shampooing?
It depends on the product. Some treatments are intended for application before shampooing, while others are designed to remain on the scalp after cleansing. Always follow the individual product instructions.
Can scalp treatments be used on coloured hair?
Some may be compatible with colour-treated hair, but compatibility varies by formula. Check the manufacturer's instructions and product information before adding a treatment to a colour-care routine.
What should I do if a scalp treatment causes irritation?
Stop using the product if it causes significant irritation and review its directions and ingredients. If irritation persists or is severe, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
