Healthy Scalp, Gorgeous Hair: Why Summer Is the Season to Start Scalp Care
Great hair starts at the root—and in Charleston’s heat and humidity, your scalp deserves just as much attention as your strands. At Stella Nova, we believe that scalp care is the unsung hero of summer hair health. From buildup and oiliness to dryness and irritation, our expert stylists are seeing more guests ask about how to refresh, balance, and treat the scalp—and we’ve got answers.
Why Scalp Health Matters in Summer
Sweat, sunscreen, salt water, and product buildup can clog pores and throw off your scalp’s natural balance. This can lead to dullness, itching, flakes, and even hair loss. A healthy scalp encourages better hair growth, stronger strands, and a shinier finish. Think of it as skincare—for your head.
Signs Your Scalp Needs Some TLC
Greasiness even after washing
Dry, tight, or itchy sensations
Flaking that worsens in heat
Hair that looks limp, dull, or lifeless
What Stella Nova Offers Our stylists can recommend clarifying shampoos, scalp scrubs, or in-salon detox treatments tailored to your needs. We carry targeted solutions designed to exfoliate, soothe, and rebalance without stripping your scalp of essential moisture.
