"Having struggled for years using numerous different products I've finally found something that has cleared my scalp. After only a couple of washes, my hair felt healthier (and smells great) and within a week my scalp feels calmer"

Simon A

"Wow! This is a game/hair changer! I have used so many products over the years but this is by far the best. After washing my hair it looked thicker and shone, the same looks you get when you leave the hairdressers. My scalp is calmer and there are no light flakes. I highly recommend "

Justine T

"I have had scalp issues for 30 years & Philip Kingsley products are such a find as they actually work. I use the shampoo & conditioner & the toner as required but tend to need only a little. I'm also using the barrier at night. I would definitely recommend"

Helen N

"I have used this range in the past when I had a flaky scalp with great results. In recent weeks, my scalp felt uncomfortable so I bought the Clearer Calmer Scalp Collection. Within a couple of days, my scalp feels so much better. I particularly enjoy the shampoo and scalp tonic. Another important point for me is that my hair stays in great condition with this range. No drying and it does not fade my highlights"

FLAKY SCALP

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Why is my scalp always flaky?

If your scalp is flaking, please do not be embarrassed: you are not alone and many effective products exist to treat it. You could be experiencing a flaky scalp for many reasons, including: infrequent shampooing, hormonal changes and fluctuations, psychological or physical stress or even cold or dry weather and climate. For immediate relief, our Flaky Scalp range spans shampoo, scalp toner and scalp mask to help. We recommend our award-winning Flaky Scalp Shampoo and Flaky Scalp Toner daily until your flaking has cleared.

How do you clean your scalp?

One of the best ways to keep your scalp clean and healthy is frequently shampooing (daily, ideally) focusing product on your scalp and roots only (avoiding the lengths). You can also use a scalp mask. An exfoliating scalp mask is the perfect home remedy to combat a flaking scalp. Use a scalp treatment weekly to deep clean your scalp and help remove dead skin cells. Acting as both a scalp scrub and cleanser, scalp masks are effective in preventing product build-up on oily scalps and hair that is washed every three days or less.

What are scalp treatments?

Scalp Masks help clear and exfoliate your scalp and help remove dead skin cells, they are effective in preventing product build-up on oily scalps and hair that is washed every three days or less. Some scalp masks are also designed to soothe and condition the scalp to help clear flaking and reduce sebum (oil)

What are the causes of a flaky scalp?

Infrequent shampooing
A diet rich in fatty, salty or sugary foods (particularly cheese, white wine and champagne)
Hormonal changes and fluctuations
Psychological or physical stress
Cold or dry weather and climate
Pre-Menstrual Syndrome

How to get rid of a dry scalp

A common misconception is that flaking is caused by a ‘dry scalp’. However, flaking is usually found on oily scalps. Do not put or rub oil into your scalp as this will only make the flakes oiler and stickier.

For immediate relief, there are many retail shampoos, scalp toners and scalp masks available. We recommend our award-winning Flaky Scalp Shampoo and Flaky Scalp Toner daily until your flaking has cleared, and then alternate every other day with your regular shampoo for a couple of weeks after.

A scalp mask, such as our Flaky Scalp Mask, should also be applied once a week to help clear flaking.

What can I do to achieve a healthy scalp?

Our Trichologists advocate shampooing regularly to help prevent the aforementioned oil, sweat and dead skin cell build-up on your scalp, and thus achieve an optimal, balanced scalp environment. Moreover, if using a medicated shampoo, this will allow for more frequent and closer contact with the active ingredients. To ensure a thorough cleanse of the scalp, technique is crucial: gently massage the shampoo into your scalp with your fingertips for 60 seconds and be sure to focus on the roots alone — never apply or rub shampoo on the mid-lengths and ends, as this can dry strands out.
