After Care

Supporting your hair & scalp’s healing journey—at home

Your visit doesn’t end when you leave our space. The days that follow are just as important for results to last.

Here’s everything you need to know to protect and holistically nourish your hair & scalp at home.

When to Wash After Your Visit

Please wait at least 48 hours before shampooing. This allows your scalp’s microbiome to recalibrate and your treatment benefits to fully absorb.

Upgrade Your Shower Water

Tap water can contain harsh minerals and chlorine that irritate the scalp, shift your color, and make the hair unmanageable.

We highly recommend installing a shower filter.

Wrap It Up Right: Silk Is Best

Friction from cotton towels can lead to breakage and dryness. Swap it for a silk wrap or turban to lock in moisture and protect your strands:

Why You Should Oil Your Scalp

Oiling isn’t just for dry scalps. Done weekly, it supports circulation, soothes inflammation, and strengthens the hair follicle.

Our favorite?
 Rebalance Scalp Oil by Aware by PRANA
It’s lightweight, non-comedogenic, and mimics natural sebum—making it safe for regular use and easy to wash out.

Why Use a Scalp Scrub?

Think of a scalp scrub like exfoliation for your face—it removes dead skin, product buildup, and excess oil that can clog follicles.

Using a gentle scrub once a week:

  • Encourages healthy cell turnover

  • Supports better absorption of oils and treatments

  • Helps prevent flaking, irritation, and itchiness

  • Creates a fresh, clean foundation for hair growth

Why Double Cleanse?

The first cleanse removes product, oil, and pollution. The second actually cleans your scalp. This simple step supports a healthy scalp barrier, better absorption of treatments, and fresher hair longer.

When to Shampoo More Often

  • If your scalp feels oily, sticky, itchy or has visible buildup

  • If you work out frequently or live in a humid climate

  • If you're experiencing hair thinning (yes, really—cleanse more to stimulate growth!)

When to Shampoo More Often

Letting your hair air-dry might feel gentle—but for the scalp, it can actually lead to issues like excess moisture, microbial imbalance, or even flaking.

Blow-drying your roots with a concentrator nozzle:

  • Prevents moisture from lingering on the scalp (which can encourage yeast and bacteria)

  • Lifts the roots and encourages natural volume without buildup

  • Seals the cuticle, reducing frizz and keeping strands smoother

  • Directs heat precisely, avoiding damage to delicate areas like the ends or hairline

💡 Tip: Use low to medium heat and keep the nozzle moving to avoid hot spots.
