Scalp Balance: Your Winter Reset for More Scalp Comfort and Stronger Hair

Discover our recommendations and tips for a more balanced scalp and hair that looks and feels its best from root to tip.

When you’re focused on hair styling or a new cut and colour, it’s easy to forget sometimes that your scalp is a living ecosystem. Full of scalp microbiota, your scalp contains a complex community of beneficial microorganisms, which support your scalp and hair well-being in several ways. Winter makes it a little trickier to keep optimal conditions for your scalp, but there’s plenty you can do to benefit your scalp’s ecosystem and balance the microbiota—and in turn, benefit your hair too.

Why Scalp Balance Matters

Caring for your scalp microbiota is really part of a balanced haircare routine. When you focus on both your hair and scalp, you’ll boost its resilience. Your microbiota are capable of maintaining scalp hydration and reducing reactivity, while reinforcing your scalp’s natural protective functions. Disrupt this balanced ecosystem (called dysbiosis) and you end up with a scalp that’s dry, irritated, oily or full of dandruff.

This is only worsened by common winter factors. Cold weather, dry air, pollution, and emotional stress can all contribute to an imbalance. Therefore, you need a routine that caters to the comfort of your scalp too!

Our solution? We’re embarking on a January Scalp Reset and inviting you to join us. These comforting rituals cater to all scalps, helping restore equilibrium, boost microcirculation, and reinforce the skin barrier for stronger hair and comfortable skin.

Targeted Routines for Different Scalp Needs

We’ve created two separate routines to best suit the needs of different scalp conditions. Whether you’re supporting fragile or thinning hair or an itchy, flaky scalp, you’ll find a soothing solution below that’ll refresh and rebalance your scalp’s microbial ecosystem this month.

Energizing Routine — For Stress-Related Hair Loss or Scalp Fatigue

This routine is made for building stronger roots, reviving your scalp and boosting your hair’s resilience. It’s best for tired scalps and those impacted by hair loss caused by seasonal changes or post-period stress. The Energizing family features Caffeine Phytoceuticals, Hair Energy Complex and Microbiotic Booster, which come together to revive microcirculation and boost the metabolism of your hair follicles.

Your Energizing Scalp Reset Routine:

Cleanse. Use the Naturaltech Energizing Shampoo, which refreshes, reenergizes and stimulates your scalp and hair.
Apply a supportive serum. Towel-dry your hair, then massage the Energizing Seasonal Superactive into your scalp. With the help of Agastache mexicana extract and Microbiotic Booster, this formula lessens stress-induced shedding.

Purifying Routine — For Dandruff, Itching or Microbial Imbalance

Scalps in need of a deep, gentle clean can rely on this routine, which purifies and soothes, leading to less dandruff and itching. It targets microbial dysbiosis by rebalancing the scalp’s microbiome, which reduces irritation, flakes and extra oil. To do this, it’s packed with Dandelion Phytoceuticals and Scalp Purifying Complex. These purify your scalp and rebalance the microbiota without stripping your skin.

Your Purifying Scalp Reset Routine:

Pre-Shampoo Treatment.Use the Naturaltech Purifying Gel before washing your hair for a targeted pre-shampoo treatment that helps reduce dry or oily dandruff and soothe scalp discomfort, while gently removing excess impurities.

Inside the Science of Elevating Superactive

We deeply believe in haircare products that not only feel great when you use them, but ones that garner results backed by science too. Here’s a look at the ingredients within the Naturaltech line and how they work to bring noticeable changes to your scalp and hair.

Microbiotic Booster (postbiotic)

Meet this vital ingredient that is cultivated through natural bacteria fermentation. The postbiotic helps balance the overall microbiota on your scalp, supporting your barrier and ensuring your skin stays hydrated. A stable skin environment leads to a more comfortable, balanced scalp, courtesy of this microbiotic support.

Botanical extracts

The Naturaltech line relies on two particularly important botanical extracts to soothe and protect the skin on your scalp: Tasmanian Pepper Berry and Fumaria Officinalis extracts. These have an abundance of antioxidants and actives that reduce irritation and redness. They’re also useful in protecting your hair and scalp from damage caused by UV rays and pollution.
