Scalp Care 101: A Healthy Scalp Routine for Lagos

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Four moments for building the scalp routine your hair has been waiting for.

Clarifying Wash

Product buildup on the scalp is the silent cause of slow growth, itchiness, and dull hair. A weekly clarifying wash clears the slate — don't skip it, even in a protective style.

Scalp Nourish

A targeted scalp oil massaged in with your fingertips increases blood flow to the follicles and delivers the nutrients hair needs to grow. Three times a week is the baseline.

Stimulate & Grow

Castor oil is the most well-evidenced topical oil for hairline and scalp growth. Thick and slow-absorbing, it's best applied directly to the scalp and left overnight before your next wash.

Weekly Treatment

A deep conditioning treatment cream applied to the scalp and mid-lengths before every wash day keeps dryness and breakage in check — especially important in Lagos harmattan season.
