Beauty Of 5: The Best New Haircare Launches For Your Scalp Issues
Scalp care has become a major focus of the hair industry in recent years and for good reason: it’s arguably one of the most neglected areas of our skin. Few of us would dare leave the house without moisturizing our face or putting lotion on our bodies, but when it comes to conditioning up top, we tend to stop at our strands, leaving our scalp to fend for itself and, ultimately, susceptible to a number of issues that affect the health of our hair.
Thankfully, chemists are making caring for our scalps easier than ever before, and brands like Head and Shoulders, with its Royal Oils collection, are realizing women of color need special products to address issues like dryness, flaking, and irritation, and we’re happy to report the science keeps getting better. Whether you’re looking for a serum, spray, or something to simply smooth out the surface, here are five new scalp launches we’re loving.

Created with a focus on reinventing the way we think about dandruff, RE-fresh has expanded its holistic scalp care line beyond shampoos and conditioners to four new treatments that address common concerns. The pre-shower scalp balm is one new launch which addresses all scalp needs. Simply apply to hair for 5-10 minutes before your next shampoo to allow the coconut oil present in the product to soothe and repair dry scalp without leaving behind thick residue that might otherwise weigh hair down. For even more nourishment, you can mix the balm with another hair oil like argan or Moroccan to step up your pre-poo game.

NEXXUS Scalp Inergy Gentle Exfoliating Scalp Scrub
Yes, it’s true, you even need a scrub for your scalp these days. Let’s be honest, when we wash our hair, few of us pay attention to our scalp and even though we think we’re cleansing our strands of all the product we’ve put in it over the last week or two, depending on your technique, it’s quite likely you’re not. That’s where a scrub like this one from Nexxus comes in to remove residue and impurities. The cool thing about this clarifying scrub, which is powered with wheat protein, ginger root, almond oil, aloe vera, coconut oil, and amino acids, is it also leaves good stuff behind to help strengthen your hair from the root.
