A Healthy Scalp = Healthy HairWhy Scalp Care Matters at Tomboy Hair Studio
When it comes to maintaining extensions, most of the focus goes to keeping the hair itself smooth, soft, and shiny. But the truth is, your scalp deserves just as much attention. It is the foundation for healthy growth, strong strands, and long-lasting extensions.
At Tomboy Hair Studio, we believe scalp care should be part of every client’s routine, especially during cooler months when dryness and buildup are common. That is why our Scalp Treatment has become one of our favorite services. It detoxifies, soothes, and rebalances the scalp, leaving everything feeling clean, calm, and refreshed.
Even if you are not wearing extensions, this treatment acts as a total reset, perfect for anyone dealing with buildup, dryness, or irritation. Healthy scalp, healthy hair. Simple as that.
How to Maintain Scalp Health at Home
If you have had a scalp treatment in the salon, there are a few easy ways to keep your scalp feeling balanced and healthy at home.
Learn to shampoo properly
It sounds basic, but a lot of people are not actually shampooing correctly. Your hair should feel clean after your wash. That means no leftover buildup, no oily roots, and no heavy feeling after styling—just clean, hydrated hair from root to end.
Here is what we recommend:
Wet your hair thoroughly
Rub shampoo between your hands before applying
Apply directly to your roots, distributing evenly above and below your rows
Rinse really well
Repeat to get a good lather
Then condition well through your ends.
Use a shower head filter
Hard water can create buildup on both your scalp and your hair. A shower filter helps prevent that, which means your color lasts longer, your extensions stay softer, and your scalp stays cleaner. It is one of those simple swaps that makes a big difference.
