Maria Nila Head & Hair Heal

An itchy, tight or flaking scalp is not a hair problem, and treating it like one is why most people never fix it. The scalp is skin. It reacts to stripping shampoos, hard water, stress and cold weather the same way the skin on your face does.

Head & Hair Heal is Maria Nila's soothing scalp range. Shampoo, conditioner and masque to calm and hydrate through the wash, a booster masque for a faster version of the same thing, a leave-in soothing serum for the days the itch will not settle, and a weightless cica oil for lengths that have gone dry while you were busy looking after the roots.

This range soothes. It does not strip. If your scalp is oily, congested or heavy with product buildup rather than dry and irritated, you want the opposite approach — go to Purifying Cleanse. Persistent flaking that never settles is worth a doctor's opinion, not a shampoo.
