Scrubs, masks and brushes to leave you with a soothed scalp

Innovations in haircare come formulated to target three specific issues: the scalp, damaged hair and pollution. Holly O’Neill tries the products that will renew your tresses.

Great hair starts at the root. Your scalp is just an extension of your face, and just like your face, it needs cleansing, exfoliating and nourishing too, to create the right foundation for great hair.

Kérastase Fusio Scrub, €49.90

Kérastase Fusio Scrub, €49.90, comes in two formulas –a gel scrub for sensitive scalps and sea salt scrub for oily scalps. Both cleanse and exfoliate dead cells and impurities, leaving a balanced, soothed scalp and airy, shiny hair.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Hair and Scalp Mask, €40

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Hair and Scalp Mask, €40, is a three-in-one treatment that can be used as a scalp cleanse, deep conditioner or overnight treatment for nourished hair and a revitalised scalp.

The Manta Hair Brush, €28, is as gentle as fingers through your hair and moulds to the shape of your scalp and hand to protect each strand with every stroke.
