And, no thanks to our ever-changing climate and ever-increasing levels of pollution, it’s inevitable that your scalp becomes more prone to flare-ups.

If you're in need of instant relief, schedule a calming treatment immediately and follow up with products that will help keep your scalp condition in check, reducing the recurrence of any flare-ups.
