There’s a new beauty buzzword in town, and it’s all about hair. Enter skinification, the trend that puts your scalp in the spotlight and literally takes your hair health back to its roots.

Experts spill the tea: your scalp is basically an extension of your face and deserves as much love as your skin. If your hair seems dull or dry no matter how many serums you apply, it might be time for a scalp detox. All that dry shampoo, styling product buildup, dirt, and excess oil is clogging up your scalp.

Skinification Scalp Detox is the ultimate shine your hair needs: giving your crown a fresh start, improving the health of your hair and leaving you with the shiny, strong locks you crave.

Good for the skin, good for the scalp

Skin-friendly active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, peptide, among others, help immensely in nourishing and protecting the scalp and hair follicles. While hyaluronic acid hydrates the scalp, niacinamide locks in moisture and peptides stimulate collagen production to support healthy hair follicles.

Hammam Zaith: the ancient beauty tip

Forget the latest TikTok trends: Arab women have mastered the beauty game for centuries with centuries-old rituals that go far beyond just looks. One of the ultimate hair care secrets is Hammam Zaith, a traditional hot oil treatment that involves giving your scalp some serious love.

Filled with powerful ingredients like argon, almonds, black seeds and olives, this ancient ritual nourishes your scalp from the roots. And that hot oil massage? It’s not just for relaxation, it’s the key to deeper, more effective absorption of all those scalp benefits. Are you ready to up your hair game the OG way?

Your scalp deserves the VIP treatment

It’s time to treat your scalp like you treat your skin: keep it clean and hydrated. Opt for gentle cleansers that tackle everything from hair loss to dandruff without stripping your scalp’s natural oils.

PRO TIP: Shampoos containing honey or apple cider vinegar are great for removing buildup while maintaining balance. But don’t overdo it with frequent washing, this will only dry out your scalp.

Regardless of your scalp type (oily, dry, or sensitive), keeping things gentle is key. Throw in a scalp scrub every now and then to remove dead skin and buildup for a fresh, clean feeling.

And don’t forget the real MVPs: hair masks and creams with hydrating ingredients. These beauties not only nourish your scalp but also work like magic on your hair follicles.

GCC women have always loved hair masks (thank you, henna and coconut oil!), and now they’re back with a modern twist.

Dry Scalp Drama

Let’s get to the root of the problem (pun totally intended): its dryness. If you notice breakouts near your hairline, you’re right to blame the weather. With humidity levels skyrocketing, your scalp and hair fight against heat, oil, and sweat buildup. The key to combating their effects? Consistency is key when it comes to scalp care.

Think of it like your fitness routine: you wouldn’t go to the gym just once a week expecting to get abs, would you? The same goes for your scalp. The good news? A solid scalp care routine is no more complicated than your usual hair care plan. Gentle cleansing, a little exfoliation to remove buildup, and a little nourishment will keep your scalp in check.
