How we approach anti-flake maintenance in the chair
What we check first: your scalp condition and sensitivity on the day.
What we intentionally avoid: harsh scrubbing, over-layering, or rushing.
What you should feel by the end: a calm, balanced scalp that feels lighter and more comfortable.
Maintenance is gentle and repeatable. We reduce visible flakes without harsh resets that leave the scalp dry.
- We confirm if flakes are mild or heavy. If flakes look intense or the scalp is sore, we guide you to a more suitable option.
- Gentle cleanse with focus on the scalp. We cleanse the scalp environment without rough scrubbing.
- Rinse-through that removes what we lifted. We rinse thoroughly so residue does not stay behind.
- Light support steps. We use targeted support without layering heavy products that can worsen flakes.
- Detangle with patience. We detangle in sections with slip so there is less friction and breakage.
- Finish clean and breathable. We keep the finish light so the scalp stays comfortable between washes.
