How we approach scalp detox 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.
Detox should feel clean and relieving, not harsh. We lift buildup and flakes while keeping the scalp calm.
- Assess buildup before we start. We look at flakes, product residue and sensitivity so we choose the right cleansing level.
- Targeted cleansing, not over-stripping. We cleanse the scalp environment without drying out your lengths.
- Rinse-through is part of the treatment. We rinse thoroughly so lifted buildup actually leaves the scalp.
- Gentle sectioning and placement. Products are applied in sections so we reach the scalp without rough handling.
- Detangle with slip, not force. Any detangling happens while hair is coated so shed hairs slide out instead of snapping.
- Balanced finish. We finish light so your scalp feels fresh and your hair does not rebound into buildup.
When this is a good fit
This is a good fit when flaking or buildup feels recent or manageable, and you want a once-off reset.
