"The majority of us are so focused on split ends, frizz and greys that we only pay attention to our scalps when there’s an issue, like dandruff or thinning hair. But there’s a growing recognition that there’s a direct connection between scalp health and how our hair looks and behaves, from shine to volume to how it holds a curl. And while medical conditions like hair loss can be linked to genetics, stress and hormones, for most people, scalp buildup – which can suffocate follicles and block blood supply – is often from sweat, sebum, dead skin cells and excess product, especially if the product contains silicones, which are heavy and attract dust," - says Reavey.
