“When it comes to scalp care—like skin care—it’s all about getting the body into homeostasis,” says hairstylist and trichologist Helen Reavey, founder of hair and scalp care brand Act+Acre. “It’s about less is more, laying solid foundations, and getting back to the roots—no pun intended.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mbg beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Reavey about identifying your scalp type, how to bring your scalp to balance, and hair growth tips. Plus, she explains exactly how to shampoo your hair (because you might be doing it wrong).
