Stronger, healthier hair starts at the scalp. Its condition directly affects how your hair looks, feels, and behaves. Yet, it’s often overlooked.

Because shampoo is the primary product that comes into contact with the scalp, that first step is crucial. RE/START™ Bond Repair Shampoo provides targeted care through our dual-action Kerabiotic™ System, which helps balance the scalp’s microbiome* while gently cleansing.

When the hair fiber itself is weakened or damaged, the rest of the RE/START™ Bond Repair range steps in to deliver powerful support. From intensive masks to leave-in treatments, each formula penetrates deep into the hair’s core to rebuild strength, reinforce structure, and restore vitality.

But first, let’s take a closer look at the scalp.

Understanding Your Scalp Type

Getting to know your scalp is like decoding your skin type: it’s the baseline for every decision in your routine.

• Oily: Feels greasy within a day of washing. Hair may look flat, roots feel heavy, and buildup happens fast.
• Dry: Feels tight, itchy, or flaky, which is sometimes mistaken for dandruff but caused by dehydration.
• Balanced: Rarely irritated or excessively oily. Hair feels refreshed for longer and doesn’t react to environmental stressors as quickly.

Expert Tips to Improve and Maintain Scalp Health

How often should you wash your hair? This question depends on your lifestyle, hair texture, and scalp type. Overwashing can lead to an imbalance of the natural oils your scalp needs to function properly. Everyone is unique but for a balanced approach we would recommend trying the following:

• Oily scalps: Every day or every other day
• Dry or curly scalps: Every 3–7 days
• Active lifestyles (gym-goers or outdoor workers): Adjust frequency based on sweat levels.

Everyone’s scalp and hair fiber has unique needs. But when the hair fiber isn’t in optimal condition, a balanced approach becomes essential. That’s where the RE/START™ Bond Repair range comes in, providing targeted care to restore strength, shine, and vitality.
