Healthy Scalp, Happy Hair

A happy, healthy scalp is the secret to strong, glossy hair, explains Ingrid, Owner of Fine to Fabulous Salon. When your scalp isn’t in great shape, your hair can be dull, dry, itchy and even start to shed.

The good news? A little extra TLC (and a few expert tips 😉) can get your scalp back on track.


Why your scalp deserves some love

Your scalp, just like your skin, shows signs of imbalance when it’s not happy. If you’re dealing with any of these, it might be time to switch up your routine, says Ingrid:


  • Flaky or dry scalp. White flakes on your shoulders? It could be dryness or product buildup.

  • Greasy roots. Hair looking oily just hours after washing? Your scalp may be overproducing oil.

  • Itchy or irritated skin. Redness, itching or sensitivity can signal an imbalance.

  • Hair thinning or extra shedding. A healthy scalp is key for hair growth and strength.

  • Flat, lifeless hair. If your roots feel weighed down, buildup could be the culprit.


The answer? A little extra scalp care in your routine can make all the difference.


What happens when you take care of your scalp?

A well-maintained scalp creates the perfect environment for hair to thrive,” says Ingrid. “Think of it as skincare… but for your hair.”


A good routine can:

  • Improve circulation, encouraging stronger, healthier hair growth.

  • Balance oil production, preventing dryness or greasiness.

  • Reduce product buildup, keeping hair fresher for longer.

  • Keep hydration levels balanced for soft, nourished hair.

  • Help prevent scalp irritation and flakiness.


Easy ways to love your scalp

Scalp Care at Fine to Fabulous Salon, Hove

Just a few tweaks can transform the way your scalp (and hair) looks and feels:


[1] Try a scalp scrub

Product buildup, excess oil and pollution clog hair follicles and weigh your roots down. A gentle scalp scrub, like, R+Co Crown Scalp Scrub once a week helps clear away debris and keeps your scalp fresh.




[2] Hydration is key

Just like your skin, your scalp needs moisture to stay balanced. If it feels tight or itchy, it’s probably dehydrated.

  • A lightweight scalp serum, like Fable & Mane Saha Scalp Wild Ginger Purifying Scrub, can restore moisture, without making roots greasy.

  • Avoid shampooing too often as this can strip away natural oils and make dryness worse.

[4] Rethink cleansing

Your everyday hair products play a big role in scalp health. If your scalp feels irritated or out of balance, it could be your shampoo or conditioner. Ask your stylist for a recommendation.

And go easy on dry shampoo as overuse can clog follicles and cause buildup. “Use it sparingly,” says Ingrid . “It’s great for in-between washes but shouldn’t replace a good cleanse.”


[5] Don’t forget sun protection

Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray to protect your hair this summer.

Yes, your scalp can get sunburnt. Protect it with SPF spray like Moroccanoil Protect & Prevent Spray, which is light and non-greasy. Pay extra attention to your parting and any thinning areas. In strong sun a hat is your best friend.
