Shampoo for dry scalp

In short

A dry scalp needs a mild shampoo that loosens flakes without stripping more moisture. The Scalp Therapy Exfoliating Shampoo does that, and works best as step two of a weekly routine with the Peeling Serum and the Nourishing Mask.

01

A shampoo built for a dry, uncomfortable scalp

A dry scalp often comes with flakes, itching and a tight feeling. The Scalp Therapy Exfoliating Shampoo is developed for a dry, sensitive or unbalanced scalp. It cleanses gently while helping reduce visible flakes, without drying the scalp out further.

02

Key ingredients

Three actives do most of the work.

Visible flakes

Piroctone olamine

Helps reduce the flakes you can see.

Scalp balance

Climbazole

Supports a balanced scalp.

Comfort

Witch hazel

Known for soothing a sensitive, tight scalp.

03

Use it as part of the full routine

For complete care, use the three steps in this order.

  1. 1

    Peeling Serum

    1 to 2 times a week. Loosens build-up so the shampoo can do its work.

  2. 2

    Exfoliating Shampoo

    3 to 4 times a week. Cleanses gently and calms flakes, itching and tightness.

  3. 3

    Nourishing Mask

    Leave-in, overnight. Hydrates and calms the scalp.

Is it a dry scalp, or something else?

Flaking and itching can have different causes. A consultation helps you understand what you are dealing with. If symptoms are severe or persistent, see a doctor.

Questions answered

Frequently asked

Still unsure? Ask at either salon, or send us a message.

Do I always need to use the mask after shampooing?

For best results, yes. The shampoo is designed to be combined with the Nourishing Mask, but it can also be used on its own.

How often can I use this shampoo?

On average three to four times a week, depending on what your scalp needs.

Can I combine this with other Neofollics products?

Yes. It works within the Scalp Therapy routine and can be combined with Hair Growth products too.

When should I see a doctor instead?

If your scalp stays red or inflamed, or the flaking does not improve with a gentle routine, see a doctor rather than continuing to self-treat.
