The Root of Radiance: Your Guide to Scalp Health

We spend so much time pampering our hair—glossy blowouts, strengthening serums, and heat protectants galore—but when was the last time you gave your scalp a little TLC? At Kenneth’s Hair Salons and Day Spas, we believe true hair health starts at the root. Literally.

Just like healthy soil grows the best plants, a healthy scalp is the foundation for gorgeous, resilient hair. Dryness, itchiness, buildup, and even hair thinning can all stem from scalp neglect. But don’t worry—we’ve got the expert tips, professional tools, and luxurious treatments to keep your scalp (and hair) at its best.

Tips from the Pros: Scalp Edition

Our stylists at Kenneth’s are no strangers to scalp struggles. Here are a few of their favorite ways to keep it healthy and happy:

  1. Scrub smarter, not harder:

    If you’re a fan of dry shampoo (who isn’t?), make sure you’re thoroughly cleansing your scalp between uses. Dry shampoo can clog follicles and cause buildup if it’s not washed out properly. Use your fingertips—not your nails—and massage for at least a minute to lift away residue.

  2. Don’t skip the scalp in your hair routine:

    You wouldn't skip moisturizing your face—so don’t skip nourishing your scalp. Kenneth’s Scalp Purifying Revitalizer is a total game-changer. Formulated with natural fruit acids and Apple Cider Vinegar, it gently exfoliates and removes buildup while Vitamin C promotes clarity and comfort. It’s like a reset button for your scalp.

  3. Customize your shampoo:

    Our line of Kenneth’s shampoos is designed to support specific scalp and hair needs—whether you’re seeking moisture, volume, or color protection. Your stylist can help match you with the perfect formula to keep your scalp balanced and your strands glowing.

  4. Treat yourself to a pro service:

    Nothing compares to a targeted, professional treatment. At Kenneth’s, we offer solutions for dryness, irritation, and buildup that go far beyond what’s possible at home. Plus, it’s the perfect excuse to relax and unwind while doing something good for your hair.

  5. Elevate the experience at Polaris:

    Want the ultimate in scalp care and self-care? Book our Yume Japanese Head Spa service currently at our Polaris location (other locations coming soon.) This luxurious treatment combines advanced scalp massage with cleansing and conditioning techniques that melt stress and reinvigorate your roots. It’s scalp therapy with serious spa vibes.

What Happens When You Skip Scalp Care

Ignoring your scalp doesn’t just affect comfort—it can have lasting effects on your hair’s health. Buildup can suffocate hair follicles, leading to thinning or slowed growth. Chronic dryness or irritation can disrupt your scalp’s natural balance, leading to flakes, oiliness, or even breakouts. The good news? A little attention goes a long way.

What Our Customers Are Saying...
Gabby C
Had the incredible pleasure of having Jaki do my make-up for a friend’s wedding! She went above and beyond to accommodate my requests, made sure I loved the make-up every step of the process, and even took the time to explain how to maintain the look as the wedding was still several hours away. You can truly tell that she loves to make people feel beautiful. Thank you Jaki! You made me feel so confident and beautiful
Beverly Houck

I would recommend Alli at the New Albany location. She really took her time with me to go over hair style options and as well as coloring and gave me suggestions on what would look best. She did a great job on my cut.
Hira Ahmad
I had one of the best facials I’ve ever received — truly an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was calming, clean, and welcoming, and Jaki was not only skilled but also incredibly attentive to my skin’s needs. Every step felt purposeful and relaxing, and I walked out feeling refreshed, glowing, and cared for. You can tell a lot of thought and expertise went into the treatment. Highly recommend to anyone looking to treat themselves or improve their skincare routine — Jaki was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be coming back to see her!
