When we talk about skin, we usually mean face. Maybe neck. Sometimes chest. But what about the stretch of skin that supports every strand of hair on your head? Just like the skin on your face, your scalp has pores, oil glands, a microbiome, and a protective barrier that needs support. The difference? It’s hidden under hair, so we tend to ignore it. But when it’s off balance, it shows.
Flakiness, irritation, stunted growth, or a lack of volume aren’t hair issues, they are scalp issues and a sign that your scalp is needing some TLC.
At ROH, we start here. Because when you support your scalp, you support everything that grows from it. And beautiful hair is the result of a healthy scalp.
Scalp First, Hair Follows
Every strand of hair begins at the root. Hair grows from follicles tucked just beneath the scalp, nourished by your body and balanced by your scalp’s microbiome. This ecosystem is delicate, and real life can throw it off easily.
Ocean swims, sweaty workouts, dry shampoo days, stress, and even medications — your scalp goes through a lot. When its balance is disrupted, your hair is the first to show the signs: dryness, flakiness, oily roots, or lack of volume. Treating your hair with masks, oils, or heat protectants won’t have their full effect until the scalp underneath is balanced. If the foundation isn’t healthy, the rest can’t thrive.
A calm, balanced scalp isn’t just a luxury; it’s the quiet force behind every good hair day. That’s why scalp care isn’t an extra step. It’s the starting point.
Scalp Care Is More Than a Trend
Searches for “scalp care routine,” “how to get a healthy scalp,” and “scalp exfoliating scrub” are on the rise. Social media is full of before-and-afters, serum reviews, and follicle close-ups that might have seemed odd a year ago.
While it may look like a trend, it’s actually awareness. Scalp health has long been the missing link in haircare. What was once overlooked is finally getting the attention it deserves. Because it is skin. And when you care for it, everything that grows from it flourishes.
At ROH, this has always been at our core. Our approach to scalp treatment, scalp health, and hair growth support comes from decades of expertise, not a viral video. We know that care belongs at the root.
Good Hair Begins Where You Can’t See It
Most haircare routines focus on the ends: a serum here, a mask there. But true transformation begins at the root. Your scalp is where hair is born, nourished, and supported.
Scalp care doesn’t need to be complicated. It just needs to be intentional.
The ROH Routine: Care That Works Together
ROH scalp care isn’t just for show; it works. Each product meets your scalp where it’s at: dry, oily, itchy, sensitive, or stuck in a cycle of buildup. Used together, they form a streamlined ritual that restores calm, clears clutter, and supports long-term hair growth from the root up.
Clarify Scalp Scrub
Your weekly exfoliating moment. This gentle scrub removes dead skin, product build up, and pollution, clearing follicles for healthy hair growth. A must for anyone dealing with flakes, dull roots, or a scalp that just feels “off.”
Scalp Scrub Brush
Part tension reliever, part scalp booster. Use it with your scalp scrub to exfoliate, stimulate circulation, and improve product absorption. Plus, it feels amazing; especially if your scalp’s been holding onto stress or tightness.
Reset Scalp Wash
Think of this as your microbiome-friendly reset. This scalp care shampoo soothes sensitive scalps, removes residue, and maintains your natural barrier. Ideal for mild scalp irritation, flaking, or sensitivity.
Double cleansing, is it necessary & why it matters?
Double cleansing isn’t just a buzzword; its essential. The first wash removes surface buildup like oil, dirt, styling products, and pollution.
The second wash deeply cleanses and allows active ingredients to work effectively. The result? Hair feels lighter, cleaner, and more receptive to conditioner or treatments. Double cleansing ensures:
- A true removal of buildup for improved scalp health
- Allow active ingredients to penetrate more effectively
- Enhances shine, volume, and manageability
Reset Scalp Condition
Your scalp’s follow-up. This lightweight conditioner nourishes mid-lengths to ends while protecting and restoring your scalp barrier. Fermented sea extracts support the microbiome and provide gentle moisture.
Scalp Renew Serum
Your daily support in a bottle. With niacinamide, Arginine, and Cucumber extract, this vegan serum soothes, hydrates, and helps repair the skin barrier. It’s ideal for anyone experiencing dry scalp, itchiness, or sluggish hair growth. Consider this your hair growth serum that’s designed for skin, not strands.
A weightless leave-in elixir that strengthens and regenerates your scalp microbiome. Packed with peptides, amino acids, and growth actives, it invigorates the scalp while hydrating and detangling hair strands; supporting natural growth cycles for optimal hair health.
Three Other Ways to Support a Healthy Scalp
1. Let the seasons shape your ritual
Your scalp reacts to climate like your skin does.
- Winter: It may feel dry, tight, or flaky. That’s your cue to nourish deeply.
- Summer: Sweat, SPF, and product build-up accumulate. Focus on gentle cleansing and weekly exfoliation.
- Transition periods: Use them to reset and rebalance your scalp baseline
2. Build better habits outside the shower
Scalp care doesn’t end with rinse-off. These small shifts matter.
- Keep brushes clean to avoid redistributing oil and product.
- Sleep on silk to reduce friction and moisture loss.
- Stay hydrated; healthy hair starts from within.
- Always detangle wet hair gently with a wide-tooth comb or brush, starting from the ends to prevent breakage and frizz.
3. Know what not to do
Even great intentions can throw your scalp off.
- Over scrubbing or over washing can strip your barrier
- Skipping exfoliation allows buildup to clog follicles
- Applying oils to an unwashed scalp can worsen congestion
- Ignoring irritation or flakes only prolongs the issue
Your scalp isn't being dramatic; its communicating. Listen and be aware of the cues it is giving you.
Start at the Root. Stay Consistent. Let It Grow.
There’s no shortcut to strong, healthy hair. Start with the essentials – a scrub, a serum – and let your scalp guide you. When the foundation is steady, growth follows naturally.
Beautiful hair never starts with shine, it starts with balance.
