Several years ago I had a terrible problem with a dry, flaky scalp, and thinning hair due to years of chemical use and aggressive hairstyling techniques. It was quite embarrassing…and to add insult to injury, I was wrestling with this very public problem while being a practicing licensed cosmetologist that worked full time in the salon. I found myself seeking help from a dermatologist. I was prescribed shampoos and ointments that helped lessen the problem but left my hair dry, brittle, and feeling like straw. This went on for years until one day I was giving myself a facial and wondered if the facial mask would help my scalp? As I read through the ingredients, I realized that it would help alleviate the dryness on the scalp, but cause havoc on my hair. I thought how great it would be if I could give my scalp a much-needed scrub without damaging my hair. This is the day my quest began.
I started taking Trichology classes (the scientific study of hair and scalp), and found an accomplished Holistic Formulator to mentor me in product development. After years of study, and quite a few trial, I finally came up with products that worked! My scalp was no longer dry, flaky, and itchy. My hair was growing, shiny, and thriving again. It happened…I developed The Scalp Exfoliating System.
