How to Keep Your Scalp Healthy

Why Your Scalp Deserves the Same Attention as Your Hair

In Norway's harsh climate—from Bergen's humidity to Oslo's dry winters—your scalp faces unique challenges. Professional barbers know that healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp, yet most men focus only on styling. Here's your complete guide to scalp care that actually works.

Understanding Your Scalp's Needs

Your scalp is skin—specialized skin that produces sebum and houses 100,000+ hair follicles. Norwegian weather conditions create specific challenges:

  • Winter: Indoor heating causes dryness and flaking
  • Summer: Increased activity leads to buildup and irritation
  • Year-round: Hard water in many Norwegian cities affects pH balance

The Deep Clean Foundation

Start with Purpose-Built Products

Regular body soap strips natural oils and disrupts your scalp's pH balance. Our Tea Tree Shampoo addresses this with:

Key Ingredients:

  • Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil: Natural antifungal and antibacterial properties
  • Menthol Crystals: Cooling sensation that stimulates circulation
  • D-Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): Penetrates hair shaft for moisture retention
  • Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate: Gentle cleansing without over-stripping

Proper Technique:

  1. Wet hair thoroughly with lukewarm water
  2. Apply small amount to palms, work into light lather
  3. Massage scalp with fingertips (never nails) for 60 seconds
  4. Focus on hairline, crown, and nape areas
  5. Rinse completely—residue causes buildup

The Conditioning Game-Changer

Why Norwegian Men Need Conditioner

Our climate extremes demand moisture balance. Tea Tree Conditioner isn't just for hair—it's scalp therapy:

Unique Application Method:

  1. Apply conditioner directly to scalp (not just hair ends)
  2. Massage gently for 2-3 minutes to stimulate blood flow
  3. Work through hair lengths
  4. Leave for 3-5 minutes before rinsing

Ingredient Benefits:

  • Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil: Promotes circulation and hair growth
  • Cetyl Alcohol: Provides slip and conditioning without heaviness
  • Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Antioxidant protection against environmental damage

Beyond the Hairline: Complete Scalp Care

The 360-Degree Approach

Your forehead, temples, and nape affect overall scalp health:

  • Use Nuvage Facial Cleanser around hairline during skincare routine
  • This prevents pore-clogging that can extend to scalp
  • Creates seamless transition between face and hair care

Weekly Scalp Exfoliation Protocol

The Professional Method:

  1. Pre-shampoo: Dry brush scalp gently with natural bristle brush
  2. Apply Tea Tree Shampoo with circular fingertip motions
  3. Focus extra time on areas prone to buildup (crown, hairline)
  4. Follow with conditioning massage technique

This removes dead skin cells and promotes healthy circulation—essential for optimal hair growth.

Your Norwegian Climate-Adapted Routine

Daily (Winters):

  • Rinse with lukewarm water only
  • Apply minimal conditioner to scalp if feeling tight
  • Use Facial Cleanser around hairline

3x Weekly:
