Hair & Scalp Repair Treatment

FAQs on Hair and Scalp Repair Treatment

Hair and scalp treatments are excellent ways to improve the health of your hair, whether you are in need of deep repair or simply wish to add strength and shine. Hair and scalp treatments help bring your hair back to life by unclogging the hair follicles and cleansing hair strands of dirt and dry flakes, excess oil, and product buildup from your hair styling products. 

The best salon hair repair treatments are formulated with proteins, antioxidants and vitamins and can repair scalp damage from bleaching and chemical services, nourish the hair follicles to improve shine and manageability, as well as smooth split ends. At Editor’s Pick, we offer the best hair and scalp treatments that you can use at home. 

What is an emergency hair repair treatment?

Emergency hair repair treatments are professional hair repair treatment masks formulated with a higher concentration of ingredients that deeply repair your hair from damage. Emergency hair repair treatments are used less frequently than your average hair repair treatment, and are primarily used for heavily damaged hair. These hair repair treatments repair damage from chemical services such as bleach, hair color, straightening and smoothing treatments, and relaxers. 

How do I prevent scalp damage? 

The best way to take care of your scalp and prevent damage is to make sure that you are thoroughly washing your hair every time you shampoo. This will remove oil, product residue, and chemical buildup that can lead to hair and scalp damage. If you use chemical services on your hair — such as bleach or relaxers — you may be more prone to scalp damage as these produce strong chemical reactions on the scalp. This is why it’s especially important to take care of your scalp and prevent scalp damage by incorporating hair and scalp treatments to keep your scalp hydrated. 

How can I repair scalp damage from relaxers? 

Scalp damage from relaxers can result in a dry, flaky and itchy scalp due to the strong chemical reactions that take place during chemical relaxers. To repair scalp damage from a relaxer, it’s necessary to moisturize and protect the scalp with oils. Scalp treatments are specially formulated to deeply hydrate and nourish scalps that have been damaged from chemical hair services. 

Should I apply the scalp treatment products to wet or dry hair? 

 Most hair and scalp treatments can be used on both dry and wet hair, though different treatment plans may call for the products to be used on either wet or dry hair. For example, scalp treatments such as those that repair scalp damage from relaxers, for instance, are typically done on wet hair as these deeply nourish and repair the hair and should be rinsed after usage. Other hair treatments such as hair oils, hair serums and hair mists are used on dry hair to condition and maintain shine in between washes. Split end serums are used on dry hair to smooth the cuticle of broken and split hair for shinier, healthier hair.
