We’re all on board for the journey to a happy, healthy scalp. And thanks to the recent ‘skinification’ of hair care trend, we’re looking at what’s the root (pun intended) of the problem.
If you’re anything like us, chances are your focus is on perfecting your skin care routine, without remembering your scalp is part of your skin too.
So if you’re looking to improve the quality of your locks. As well as ensure your scalp’s microbiome (yes they have that too) stays balanced, here are the best scalp care tools for a happy, nourished scalp.

Hello Jupiter Scalp Brush
We know these bristles look really intense, but that’s only because they’re a multifunctional godsend. While our other scrubbing brushes are destined to only be used in the shower, the Hello Jupiter Scalp Brush can be used on dry hair pre-shower to help with stimulation. And then can easily be used in the shower to emulsify in your scalp care products. Made to distribute hair oils and add lustre to otherwise lacking hair, everyone will be asking if you’ve just had your hair done!

Skin Artisan White Jade Gua Sha Comb
Okay so we all know (and love) how great a Gua Sha routine is for our face, but what you probably didn’t know is that it’s just as beneficial for your scalp. Made from white jade, known for its healing and calming properties, this hair comb is able to release tension, massage and (most importantly) encourage hair growth through scalp stimulation.

What’s your favourite scalp care secret?
Sukin scalp scrub feels great!!
The scrub looks interesting.
I’d like a scalp brush!
I have similar scalp brushes. I am pretty sceptical about the gua sha comb though.
I don’t have a scalp care secret
They all look good , never tried any of them.
Some really nice hair brushes here. I like the look of all of them.
I use a rubber brush on my scalp (actually a horse brush) when I wash my hair. It feels nice and my hair and scalp feel really clean.
The Reject Shop often has a lot of Sukin products so look out for the scalp scrub there.
I like the Sukin scrub.
Skinification is a term I’ve not heard before.
Need a good scrub asap. Interesting scalp stone, want to scratch my scalp with it and try =D
I bought a cheap scalp massaging brush whilst in America last year, it does the job well. I’m skeptical about scalp scrubs as most of them contain peppermint oil, which my scalp now despises.
I think it is nearly time for a new hair brush, and I like the Lady Jayne Paddle Brush
