If your hair has been stuck in a never-ending loop of bad hair days, your scalp might be the culprit.
Scalp health has become a hot topic of conversation of late, because it affects the condition of our hair in a very real way.
From product build-up to microbiome imbalance, and even heat-damage caused by styling, a scalp in distress can impact hair fall, growth, and strength.
In other words, if you don’t look after your scalp, expect to experience things like hair thinning, breakage, and even greasy strands.
“The first step to hair longevity is looking after your scalp,” says marie claire’s Head Of Beauty, Tara Lamont-Djite.
“Every strand of hair grows from a follicle in your scalp,” she explains. “But if that environment is dehydrated, inflamed or congested; what grows out of it isn’t going to be that great.”
“As a Beauty Editor with over 10 years experience, I’ve been through pregnancy and living in a congested area like New York City, which didn’t do anything good for my hair,” she tells us.
What’s The Best Way To Protect Your Scalp?
“Wash your hair regularly and gently,” says Lamont-Djite. “Use an exfoliating hair scrub once a week. Protect your part from the sun if you have one. And use a targeted scalp serum like K18’s new one: The Future IQ Biomimetic Hair Longevity Serum.”
FutureIQ™ can be used once a day on both wet and dry scalps (don’t worry, the moisture won’t affect the treatment’s potency), thanks to a lightweight and fast-absorbing formula that doesn’t leave hair greasy or ruin your favourite pillow cases.
How does FutureIQ™ Work?
Specifically formulated for premature hair and scalp ageing, FutureIQ™ works best for those with minimal to moderate hair shedding and greying. The formula utilises proprietary MultiVital™ technology, which works to reverse greying, reduce shedding, and protect scalp longevity.
In clinical trials, trial participants massaged the recommended four drops of FutureIQ™ into their scalps once a day. After one month 82 per cent of users agreed that the product did not contribute to hair oiliness and 95 per cent agreed that the product did not increase scalp sensitivity. After two months, 100 per cent of clinical trial members showed signs of an improved scalp barrier. And after three months, 54 per cent said their scalp was revitalised by the daily treatment.
