Skincare for the Scalp: Scalp Care and Head Spa Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe scalp care and head spa rituals. Writers describe what made them pay attention: flakes on dark jumpers, itching under a hijab, a cap or a firefighter's helmet, spots traced to a conditioner, buildup a hairdresser showed them at the roots, greasiness that worsened with twice-daily washing, a scalp that stung at every product, and changes after menopause, pregnancy, chemotherapy or a baby. There is the routine they built — a grandmother's oiling revived, a shampoo schedule, a massager for ten minutes a day, scalp brushes at home compared with the salon — and the head spa itself: magnified scalp analysis, steam, double cleansing and long massage. Writers are honest that the most consistent benefits were relaxation, a cleaner-feeling scalp and fewer flakes once the right washing rhythm was found, while serums and multi-step routines often delivered less than promised. There are over-scrubbing burns, a dryer that blistered, a hair dye reaction, and a paid session that left one writer unsure. Later chapters cover psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis in beard and scalp, hard water and climate, bald and shaved heads, anxious picking, a therapist's view, and dandruff that proved to be something else.

Who it's for

For anyone with an itchy, flaky or oily scalp, people curious about booking a head spa, readers with a shelf of unfinished scalp serums, and anyone whose dandruff has never quite gone away.
