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...
Karen Geist
I recently had my hair cut with Molly and I am very happy with the result. She took the time to advise me on how to make changes now to best grow into a new style that I want. The final result was very close to the picture that I brought in to show to my stylist. I loved the fact that Molly didn't talk while she was at work cutting my hair. She only asked pertinent questions regarding my desires and answered all questions that I had for her. The one question that I did ask her was how much longer did she have at the Academy, and she replied that she would continue through the end of October. So quick, book an appointment now at the Academy, or visit her when she becomes part of the team at the Kingsdale location Nov 1. I know that's where I will be going for my next haircut. Thanks Molly!

I had the pleasure of scheduling a keratin treatment with Jane at the Academy. She was so professional and my hair turned out exactly as I hoped. Jane gave the best shampoo and rinse prior to the treatment. The entire appointment was so relaxing! Highly recommend, and if you think that a keratin treatment is cost prohibitive then even more reason to go to the Academy. I was able to schedule the experience for a fraction of the price! I will definitely return!
