Treat Your Scalp Like Skin Care
The number one advice this trichologist gave us is to treat our haircare routine (specifically our scalp) like we do our skincare.
“Oftentimes we’ll stick with one shampoo, one conditioner, and we use that all the way through. But when you think about skincare, you might exfoliate once a week. And sometimes you’ll use these products for a few days and then switch to these and go back. You’re balancing everything,” Tompkins told E!.
Use the same philosophy for your scalp. It goes through ebbs and flows, just like our skin. The goal is to get it balanced. Maybe during the summer, your scalp is more oily, and during the winter, it’s drier. Change your shampoos and conditioners according to what your scalp needs, not what your lifelong diagnosed type is.
Still, there are certain ingredients that your scalp might always need that should be part of your haircare routine. According to Tompkins, these serums are exactly that.
