Has your hair lost its youthful shine, strength and bounce – despite a rigorous haircare routine? It might be time to dive beneath your roots and take a long, hard look at your (most probably neglected) scalp.
Much more than an assortment of hidden skin cells, your scalp plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy hair. And if it’s experiencing its own issues? You'd better believe this will impact your strands’ wellbeing.
But fear not honey – help has arrived in the form of the Coco & Eve Hair Revival Set. Featuring our age-defying Pro-Youth Shampoo, Conditioner and super-powered Mask, this dynamic trio – enriched with our game-changing Pro-Vitali-B™ honey blend, retinol and probiotics – is the solution you've been searching for.
5 Scalp Conditions to Look Out For
Read on to discover the five scalp issues that could be at the root of your hair dramas. And how our Pro Youth products tackle them scalp-on to restore long-lost shine, volume and vitality to your hair!
1. Desert-like dryness
A dry scalp is a common foe in the battle for hair health. When your scalp becomes excessively dry, it can lead to flaking and itching. Those pesky white flakes not only wreak havoc on your favourite dark clothing but can also lead to hair fall. Why? As you scratch away the itch, you inadvertently damage hair follicles, causing your hair to weaken and fall out.
Drinking plenty of water is your first step to keep your skin, including your scalp, adequately moisturised. However, it’s also important to avoid overly hot showers and stick to high-quality, hydrating haircare products. Including a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner, like our potent Pro-Youth formulas.
Infused with sustainably sourced Manuka honey, our Pro Youth Shampoo gently cleanses while nourishing and soothing the scalp. And the Conditioner moisturises the scalp and strengthens strands with our Pro-Vitali-B™blend – a powerful honey blend of manuka honey, propolis and royal jelly extract – plus smoothing coconut oil.
However, it’s our Pro Youth Hair & Scalp Mask that really ups the ante. Suitable for use on the scalp itself (as well as your strands), it’s formulated with the Pro-Vitali-B™ honey blend, retinol and probiotics to hydrate and rebalance the scalp and fight the key signs of hair ageing.
Used in a routine, the three products are clinically proven to boost shine by 93% while increasing volume and transforming hair texture!
2. Sluggish blood flow
If your hair is dull and brittle or taking FOREVER to grow, sluggish blood flow in your scalp could be to blame. When blood flow is inadequate, the delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles is reduced, and they lack the nourishment they need to function optimally.
Insufficient blood flow can slow the hair growth cycle, causing reduced hair growth and thinner, weaker strands. It can also weaken your hair shaft, resulting in more breakage. And in severe cases, you may also experience hair loss.
The solution? Sticking to a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet, avoiding tight hairstyles and indulging in regular scalp massage. Ideal for use on wet or dry hair, with or without product, our Pro Youth Scalp Massager helps to stimulate your scalp while sloughing away dead skin cells to encourage healthy hair growth.
3. Excess sebum
While flakes are often associated with dryness, if you’re suffering from dandruff, it might not be a parched scalp that’s to blame. In fact, dandruff is linked to an excess of sebum. For this reason, our Youth Revive range is formulated with all-star active, retinol. Prized for its anti-ageing properties, retinol regulates sebum production, reduces excess oil and ensures your scalp – and as a result, your hair – is comfortably clean.
4. An unbalanced microbiome
You’ve probably heard of your gut microbiome and its impact on everything from your mood to your immunity. Well, your skin (and scalp) has a microbiome, too – a complex community of trillions of beneficial and harmful microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi.
When the balance is tilted in favour of the good guys, it helps maintain a healthy scalp and keep issues like dandruff, itchiness and inflammation in check – all of which can impact the health of your strands.
On the flip side, an unbalanced microbiome – with too many of the not-so-friendly guys – can trigger the scalp conditions above. An unhappy scalp can also disrupt the natural growth cycle of your hair, weaken your follicles and lead to hair loss and thinning.
Instead of panicking (stress is a hair loss trigger, too!), turn to your microbiome-balancing scalp saviour, probiotics. Formulated with a probiotic blend of manuka, black pepper and magnolia, our Pro Youth Hair & Scalp Mask rebalances your scalp microbiome for softer, more resilient hair. While the Shampoo boasts prebiotics that support the natural balance of the scalp and help reduce inflammation associated with dandruff.
5. A funky pH
Like its microbiome, your scalp has a delicate (slightly acidic) pH balance that can be disrupted by various factors, including harsh shampoos, environmental pollution and excessive sun exposure. It’s therefore important to opt for pH-balanced shampoos and conditioners to help maintain this equilibrium.
Maintaining the right pH balance helps keep the hair cuticle smooth, which in turn makes the hair look shiny and feel soft. Whereas an imbalanced pH can lead to dull, rough and frizzy hair…
