Scalp Is Skin: Why Healthy Hair Starts at the Root

Haircare has evolved — and rightly so. Today, professionals agree that scalp health is foundational to strong, glossy, resilient hair. Just like facial skin, the scalp requires cleansing, hydration, and balance to function optimally.

The Scalp–Hair Connection

Hair follicles are directly influenced by the condition of the scalp. Buildup, inflammation, dryness, or excess oil can disrupt the growth cycle, leading to dullness, breakage, and thinning.

This is why modern haircare brands are treating the scalp with the same care as skin.

A New Generation of Haircare

Brands such as Davines, Aveda, and Maria Nila are leading this shift.

Their formulas focus on:

  • Gentle scalp exfoliation

  • Detoxification without stripping

  • Microbiome balance

  • Sustainable, skin-friendly ingredients

This approach improves not just hair appearance, but long-term hair health.

Signs Your Scalp Needs Attention

You may benefit from scalp-focused care if you experience:

  • Persistent dryness or itchiness

  • Excess oil or product buildup

  • Flat roots or lack of volume

  • Increased shedding

Ignoring scalp health often leads to treating symptoms rather than the cause.

How to Build a Scalp-Centred Routine

A simple routine may include:

  1. A gentle, balancing shampoo

  2. Weekly scalp exfoliation or detox

  3. Targeted scalp treatments or serums

  4. Lightweight hydration

This mirrors facial skincare — cleanse, treat, nourish.

The Maison Derme Philosophy

We believe haircare should feel intentional, not excessive. By prioritising scalp health, you create the conditions for hair to thrive naturally.

Healthy hair doesn’t start in the lengths — it starts at the root.
