Did you know that around 40% of women experience hair loss or thinning in their lifetime? In the world of beauty and self-care, skincare often takes the spotlight. From elaborate routines to the latest trending ingredients, we're constantly bombarded with advice on how to achieve that elusive glow. But what if we told you that the key to healthy, beautiful hair lies not just in the strands themselves, but in the often-neglected scalp? Enter scalp care – the unsung hero of a truly comprehensive beauty regimen.
How We Fell in Love with Scalp Care
Enter Lacy Gadegaard-West to the forefront, as she's spent over 20+ years helping her celebrity clients and stylist community to find creative ways to encourage hair growth. And as it turns out, many of the products we use on a daily basis are hurting the "root" of the problem (a-hem dry shampoo). Plus, Lacy has battled her own hair loss story after some scary health issues that resulted in her losing over 70% of her hair. Harnessing the passion to help other women like herself through any means possible, she created the Laced Hair Foundation to give women a chance at temporary solutions with wigs and hair extensions. But she wanted to do more.
This is the story behind all of the products at LHC – to deliver products that actually work. The first of many products we're introducing is our Scalp Serum. It's Dermatologist Tested abd full of efficacious ingredients that work. Plus, it's safe for sensitive skin, and this fluffy product infuses hydration directly into the scalp. Products are designed to nourish the scalp, creating the optimal environment for hair growth and vitality.
Why Scalp Care Matters
Our scalp is the foundation from which healthy hair grows. Just like skincare targets the health of our skin barrier, scalp care focuses on maintaining the scalp's health, ensuring it's free from buildup, irritation, and inflammation. When the scalp is neglected, it can lead to a host of issues such as dandruff, itchiness, and even hair loss.
Think of it this way – would you expect a garden to flourish if the soil beneath it is dry, nutrient-deprived, and riddled with weeds? Of course not. Similarly, our hair needs a nourished, balanced scalp to thrive.
The Ritual of Scalp Care
Incorporating scalp care into your routine doesn't have to be complicated. Just like skincare, it's all about finding the right products and techniques that work for you. Here's a simple ritual to get you started:
- Cleanse: Start by using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse your scalp and hair. Focus on massaging the shampoo into your scalp to remove any buildup or excess oils.
- Exfoliate: Just as we exfoliate our skin to remove dead cells and reveal a fresh complexion, exfoliating the scalp can help unclog hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth. Look for exfoliating scalp scrubs or brushes designed specifically for this purpose.
- Nourish: Treat your scalp to a daily treatment with the LHC Scalp Serum. This product is formulated with our essential, proprietary nutrient blend and phyto-actives to restore an optimal scalp environment and fortify hair follicles for visibly thicker, fuller hair.
- Protect: Lastly, don't forget to hydrate your hair regularly with our Conditioning Masque packed with our powerful and proprietary blend of essential nutrients and plant stem cells that deeply penetrate the hair cuticle to repair damage while giving strands the ultimate boost of hydration and protection against future damage.
The Results Speak for Themselves
As you incorporate scalp care into your routine, you will notice a significant improvement in the overall health and appearance of your hair. Shinier, stronger, and more resilient than ever before.
So, the next time you're perusing the beauty aisle or scrolling through Instagram, remember this: scalp care is skincare. Treat your scalp with the same love and attention you give to your skin, and you'll unlock the secret to healthy, beautiful hair that radiates from the roots to the tips.
