Why I Don’t Use Styling Products After My Treatments
After every holistic scalp treatment, the primary goal is to rebalance, rejuvenate, and restore optimal scalp health. That’s precisely why I personally don’t use any styling products immediately following my treatments.
Even though I make every single product I use and know exactly what’s in them, the reason is simple yet powerful: the scalp, freshly treated, is at its most receptive state. During this time, the scalp is primed to absorb nutrients, breathe freely, and rebalance naturally. Introducing styling products—even those labeled as natural or clean—can compromise this sensitive healing phase. Just like anything else, the scalp needs time to heal.
Styling products typically contain ingredients like fragrances, preservatives, and residues that might clog pores, disrupt the scalp’s delicate microbiome, and counteract the treatment’s therapeutic effects.
Choosing to abstain from styling products post-treatment allows me to:
Fully support my scalp’s natural healing process.
Ensure maximum absorption of beneficial ingredients used during the treatment.
Minimize exposure to potentially irritating chemicals and residues.
Encourage your clients to view this post-treatment period as sacred, a moment of intentional simplicity and mindful choice that significantly enhances long-term scalp health. It’s a practice that honors my scalp’s natural journey toward health and balance.
