Great hair starts with a healthy scalp.

Your scalp feels oily, itchy, tight, or flaky — signs the scalp
environment is out of balance. Before any product can fully support
fuller-looking hair, the foundation needs a reset. This 4-step routine
clears the way first, then builds volume and daily balance on top of a
clean slate.

Weekly deep cleanse + daily tonic

No harsh sulfates

Dermatologically tested

A clogged scalp can't support full-looking hair.

Buildup from products, excess sebum, and dead skin cells create a barrier at the follicle opening that stifles roots and weighs hair flat. Before any serum or treatment can work effectively, the scalp environment needs to be cleared and maintained. This routine starts with exfoliation, then maintains balance with a prebiotic shampoo, and adds daily volume support on top.

Clear the foundation

The Scalp Scrub physically removes buildup with gentle Jojoba Beads and supports sebum regulation with Pumpkin Seed Extract. Roots feel immediately lifted after just one use.

Maintain the microbiome

The Shampoo's Prebiotic Complex feeds the beneficial bacteria on your scalp — restoring the natural ecosystem that keeps oiliness, flaking, and irritation in check without stripping.

Protect without weighing down

The Conditioner adds essential moisture to lengths without touching the
scalp. This prevents the over-drying that can trigger rebound sebum
overproduction.

Daily body and balance

Once the scalp is reset, the Hair Tonic provides instant volume and daily scalp support. Rice Protein expands strand diameter; Probiotic Ferment maintains scalp calm throughout the day.

Step 2· Balance

Gently maintains scalp balance between scrub days. The Prebiotic Complex keeps the beneficial microbiome intact — no stripping, no rebound oiliness. Sulfate-free and safe for color-treated hair.

Step 3 · Condition

Restorative Conditioner

Hydrates mid-lengths and ends without adding any product to the scalp. For oily-scalp types this is essential — scalp-applied conditioner adds weight and triggers more sebum. Lightweight and anti-grease.

Simple protocol

One weekly reset. A daily habit that lifts.

One deep-cleanse day sets the tone for the whole week. The Tonic is your daily finish that keeps the scalp balanced and hair looking full.

1

Once a week: section and scrub the scalp

On your first wash day of the week, skip the shampoo. Apply the Scalp Scrub to wet sectioned hair. Massage into scalp in circular motions for 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Follow with Conditioner on lengths only. This is your weekly foundation reset.

~3 min 1× per week Circular massage

2

Other wash days: shampoo and maintain balance

Use the Strengthening Shampoo on your other 2–3 wash days. Massage for 60 seconds, let it sit a moment, then rinse well. The Prebiotic Complex works as you lather — the extra contact time matters.

~2 min 2-3x per week Scalp focus

3

Conditioner on lengths only — never the scalp

This is the most critical rule for oily-scalp types. Conditioner on the
scalp adds weight and excess sebum. Strictly mid-shaft to ends only.
Comb through before rinsing with cool water to seal the cuticle.

~3 min Every wash Avoid roots

4

Daily: spray Tonic at roots on damp hair

After every wash, spritz the Hair Tonic at roots while hair is still damp. Comb through, then blow-dry or air-dry. Provides instant lift at the root and keeps the scalp microbiome supported throughout the day with Probiotic Ferment.

~1 min Daily Do not rinse

Week 1

Immediate scalp relief

After the first Scrub, most people notice the scalp feeling cleaner, lighter, less itchy or tight. Roots hold volume better right from that first day with the Tonic.

Week 2-3

Oiliness starts to self-regulate

With the Prebiotic Shampoo maintaining the microbiome between scrub days, the scalp's sebum production begins to balance. Fewer greasy roots between washes.

With a balanced scalp and daily Tonic use, hair looks and feels noticeably fuller. The Tonic's Rice Protein effect builds with
consistency of use.

Frequently asked

No — and here's why: over-stripping the scalp with harsh shampoos triggers more sebum production as a defense mechanism. The Prebiotic Shampoo breaks this cycle by maintaining the microbiome. The weekly
Scrub removes buildup without over-drying, so the scalp gradually self-regulates. Most users notice less mid-day oiliness by week 2–3.

The Scrub can help with product-related flaking and excess dead skin cell buildup. It is a cosmetic product and not a treatment for dandruff caused by fungal conditions (like seborrheic dermatitis). If your flaking is severe or persistent, consult a dermatologist.

It replaces shampoo on one day per week — your deep-cleanse day. On your other 2–3 wash days, use the Strengthening Shampoo as normal. Using the Scrub more than once a week is not recommended for most scalp types.

Yes — apply to damp hair before blow-drying or air-drying. It is a leave-in product and will dry into the hair and scalp. It should not feel sticky or heavy when dry. If it does, you've applied too much — a light spritz at the roots is enough.
