Healthy Hair; Healthy Scalp

Let’s get to the root of the problem with many hair concerns. Your hair will not be healthy if your scalp is not. Interestingly, your scalp will also have a hard time being healthy if your body is not; but, that is for a different post…

At Frenchie’s in 2024, we started offering our scalp rejuvenation service which starts off with a microscopic analysis of your scalp. This my friends is fascinating; a truly ‘geek out’ moment for our stylists! What was interesting though was seeing buildup not only from what we expected, products, sebum (oil),  dirt, pollution and sweat; but also, from minerals.

Just like your taps get clogged by hard water, so do our follicles. Therefore, general shampooing or even quick clarifying; which, would remove the typical build up, would not touch the minerals. These minerals (calcium, copper, magnesium, etc.) are hard, like little pebbles; that start to build up over time.  When mixed with all of the regular challengers (products, oils, and dirt) a ‘concrete’ like mix is formed similarly to asphalt being laid on the scalps surface. Have you ever seen a healthy lawn or flower garden growing through a paved road?

Pre Scalp Rejuvenation

Here is a scalp photo of a client who shampoos every other day. Notice the build up of product and skin cells, inflammation under the scalps surface, and clogged follicles.

Post Treatment

Notice the redness is gone, and the follicles are clear. We even uncovered some follicles that were fully clogged which will allow for new hair to grow.

With the help of Malibu C’s Crystal Gel XL, a treatment so safe you could eat; and Frenchie’s system of brushing, massages and post treatments, we are breaking through all of that concrete to create the optimum growing environment for your hair. We have seen amazing new growth, but not only that; we find a calmer less irritated scalp as well. Just think about how uncomfortable it would be rolling around in gravel vs a soft bed of grass. With this treatment your scalp will thank you!

Is your hair and scalp like the Louvre Gardens or like Edmonton’s potholes in the spring?

*For best results multiple treatments may be required based on how much build up, where you live or what type of pipes you have.

** A professional at home regimen will be recommended for you. Your stylist will curate the best products that suit your hair, scalp and lifestyle. 

*** Hair products make a massive difference in protecting and healing the hair and scalp  or can severely hinder healthy scalp and hair through build up. Not all products are equal, stay tuned to what we look for in a product.
