How we approach soothing scalp care 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.
Soothing is not about doing more. It is about doing the right steps gently so your scalp settles instead of reacting.
- Comfort check first. We ask where you feel irritation and what usually triggers it, then we adjust water pressure and product choice.
- Gentle cleanse with low friction. We cleanse without aggressive scrubbing so the scalp barrier is respected.
- Soothing support applied with intention. Product is placed where you need it most, not rubbed everywhere.
- Minimal manipulation detangling. If we detangle, we do it in sections with slip so your scalp is not pulled.
- Rinse-through that leaves the scalp calm. We rinse thoroughly so nothing lingers to irritate later.
- Light finish. We avoid heavy layering that can trigger itchiness or buildup on sensitive scalps.
