Moda stylist tipDouble-cleanse for the most benefit — the first wash removes build-up, the second lets the aloe vera and piroctone olamine work on a clean scalp. Massage gently into the scalp and leave a moment before rinsing. For persistent scalp discomfort, add the Head & Hair Heal Soothing Serum as a leave-in between washes.
Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaWhat causes a dry, itchy scalp, and how does this help?
Yes — a dry, itchy scalp can come from many things: harsh sulphate shampoos, product build-up, cold or dry weather, sensitivity, or an imbalanced scalp. Head & Hair Heal Shampoo addresses several of these at once. It's sulphate-free and gentle, so it doesn't strip the scalp. Aloe Vera moisturises and soothes the itch, and Piroctone Olamine helps rebalance the scalp and reduce flaking. Used regularly, it calms the discomfort and helps keep the scalp healthy. For a diagnosed condition, see a dermatologist — this supports comfort rather than treating medical conditions.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin and allergies?
Yes — this is a real strength of the range. The Head & Hair Heal collection is formulated with an allergen-free perfume developed specifically for extra-sensitive skin. So even people with reactive scalps, who often struggle to find products that don't irritate, can use it comfortably. It's also sulphate- and paraben-free. As with any product, if you have known severe allergies, check the ingredient list, but the range is designed with sensitivity in mind.
Can I use it every day?
Yes — it's gentle enough for daily use, and it's suitable for all hair types. For an itchy or flaky scalp, regular use helps keep the scalp calm and balanced. Pair it with the Head & Hair Heal Conditioner, and for extra relief between washes, the Soothing Serum leave-in can be applied to the scalp any time it needs a calming boost.
Does it help with hair as well as the scalp?
Yes — while its main focus is soothing the scalp, it's also a strengthening shampoo. It contains follicle-supporting actives (Apigenin, Oleanolic Acid, Red Clover Extract, and peptides) that work to strengthen and improve hair quality, plus Vitamin E. Reviewers frequently mention their hair feeling softer, silkier, and healthier alongside the scalp relief. A healthy scalp is also the foundation for healthy hair growth.
Is Maria Nila vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes — 100% vegan and cruelty-free, certified by PETA, Leaping Bunny, and The Vegan Society. Maria Nila is a Swedish brand and a Certified B Corporation, developing and manufacturing in Sweden with sulphate- and paraben-free formulas and CO2-compensated packaging.
