Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does the scalp microbiome need to stay healthy?
    The scalp microbiome relies on beneficial bacteria that act as a protective barrier. These bacteria need nutrients in the form of prebiotics to stay strong and continue doing their job of keeping the scalp healthy.
  • What are prebiotics and why are they important for the scalp?
    Prebiotics are nutrients that feed the beneficial bacteria living on the scalp. When those bacteria are properly fueled, they can stay strong, fight off imbalances, and support a healthy scalp environment that promotes shiny, strong strands.
  • What happens when the scalp microbiome is strong?
    A strong scalp microbiome means the beneficial bacteria are able to keep working effectively. The result is a balanced, healthy scalp and hair that appears shinier and stronger.
