Massage Your Scalp With Kiehl’s

The solution to your dry, painful scalp may be a relaxing massage! Kiehl’s Enriched Massage Oil for Scalp ($17.00) provides moisturizing and toning benefits to fight a flaky scalp. Aloe Vera soothes and softens the scalp, making it more flexible and less irritated. Rosemary Extract helps prevent inflammation of the hair follicles to reduce hair loss. Rich oils like Avocado and Safflower restore natural moisture and fortify the scalp with vitamins and amino acids that promote healthy skin. Massage this oil into scalp to stimulate circulation, leaving on fifteen to twenty minutes to allow the conditioners to absorb into the scalp. You’ll notice a healthier looking scalp right away!

Share a Cuppa With Your Hair

Tea is rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals and keep our bodies healthy, but it also can be therapeutic for your hair and scalp. Break out the tea pot, and brew these tried and true do-it-yourself hair treatments:

• Fight dandruff and add shine with 1/4 cup of dried lavender simmered in two cups of water. After cooling, saturate hair and scalp and leave on fifteen minutes before rinsing.
• Help stimulate hair growth by steeping 1/4 cup of dried rosemary in two cups of water until it reaches room temperature. Massage onto scalp, cover hair with a shower cap, and leave on as long as you’d like, even overnight, to tone and clarify.
• Add subtle, natural looking highlights to blonde hair with a rinse made from 1/3 cup dried chamomile flowers steeped in one quart of hot water until cool. Strain well, and pour over hair, repeating if desired. Leave in hair for fifteen minutes, then rinse.

Balance and Moisturize Your Scalp

Banish your dry, flaky scalp with Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Neem Hair Lotion ($24.95).

Rosemary calms irritation to fight itching and flaking. Massage gently into your scalp regularly before washing (or before going to sleep) to correct your worst scalp problems.

‘Big’ Hair From LUSH

Add bounce, body and shine to limp locks with LUSH’s sensational, salty Big Shampoo ($21.35). Sea salt adds fullness and gives hair and scalp a deep clean. Fresh lemon and lime juices give you a glossy shine, while combining with mandarin oil for a delicious, margarita-like scent. Don’t let the chunky, unusual texture discourage you- massage handful into wet hair and watch for BIG results!
