Scalp Care Routine For Healthy, Voluminous Hair
National Brand Trainer for Christophe Robin Paris and Digital Media Manager at QUE Sydney
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, hair health starts at the scalp. This philosophy also rings true when you are trying to create some serious volume.
One of the best ways to boost volume is by exfoliating the scalp, and stimulating your roots. This technique is not lost on Billie Jean Reed, who is an educator for Christophe Robin, and an expert when it comes to amping up the volume in her hair.
In this routine she shows us how she preps and styles her hair for max volume with products from Christophe Robin. So, forget flat hair and say hello to beautiful, bouncy locks.

How do I care for a dry scalp?
An unbalanced scalp, be it oily or dry, can impact the growth, length and strength of your hair. This is because the excess dry skin and oil can block the hair follicle and lead to oily, dehydrated and limp hair.
Just like your face, sometimes your scalp needs a little help staying balanced with a bit of exfoliation and some extra moisture. You can achieve this by incorporating an exfoliating mask or treatment into your weekly routine to remove dead skin and product build up.
As exfoliating masks and treatments can by drying it’s important to also include a hydrating mask, treatment or conditioner in your routine to restore moisture and balance. This combination should leave your hair fresh, bouncy and smooth.
