Our scalp is living and breathing, while the strands are technically dead and have no nervous system, blood or cell regeneration. Because hair is not a living tissue with regenerative ability, it can typically not heal. Oils, conditioners or hydrolysed proteins may be used to disguise the issues temporarily, but that is akin to using make-up – products can improve the appearance but do not address the underlying problems.
Many people focus solely on the hair and neglect the scalp altogether, even though the scalp is the most important factor in hair growth. It is the scalp that is connected to the roots and the beginning of hair growth.
Even if one shampoos on a daily basis, build-ups from sebum, grime, hard water and hair products – such as dry shampoo – can remain on the scalp and clog pores. This build-up may result in greasy, dull hair and even a slowdown in hair growth.
Shampoo alone does not cleanse the scalp deeply enough to unclog the pores and remove dead skin and product build-up. In order to create an ideal environment for hair nourishment and growth, one needs to have a healthy scalp so that pores are unblocked, sebum production is maintained without imbalance, and good blood flow to the hair root is facilitated. This will allow hair to grow fast and healthy.
I have tried so many scalp cleansers and scrubs over the years and have never been satisfied with any of them. Until now.
With powerful ingredients that will help detox the scalp, Scalp Cleansing Deep & Light by uka deeply cleanses the scalp and revitalises the hair.
Expertly created with about 96% derived from natural raw materials, this signature scalp cleanser contains a unique blend of plant-derived amino acids that have been specifically formulated to optimise results. Ingredients such as ubiquinone, coenzyme Q10 and sage provide essential elements that the scalp tends to lack. There are no mineral oils, parabens or unhealthy additives. Another bonus is that it smells wonderful and refreshing, using natural fragrances such as eucalyptus, peppermint and drops of tea tree.
The treatment is very effective at removing all the product and skin cell build-up, and excess oil from the scalp, whilst cleansing without stripping the scalp. It achieves a well-balanced and healthy scalp the natural way.
The applicator tip is great at depositing the concentrate directly onto the scalp – not on the hair. It should just be used on the scalp, as otherwise the foam makes the hair tangled.
With consistent use, I have noticed my hair has become shinier, healthier and stronger. It does an incredible job in keeping my scalp clean and healthy. Pair it with their Nighty night or Wake up! shampoos, which will help to achieve salon-worthy results. The uka shampoos are loaded with 15 kinds of amino acids as their principal active ingredients. The shampoos penetrate into the hair to restore damaged cuticles. Under the heat of a hairdryer, the naturally-derived hair repair ingredient γ-docosalactone thermally reacts with amino acids to create strength, resilience, and shine,
uka has an impressive track record in discovering the route to a healthy, age-defying scalp. uka started head therapy back in 2003 at salons located in central Tokyo. It now offers a well-considered range of products for the scalp and hair.
