For Reduced Flakiness
Clean as a Whistle Scalp Scrub, £18 | Larry King Haircare
Like the skin on the rest of your body, your scalp will benefit from some gentle exfoliation to slough away dead skin cells and product build-up. Full of pink Himalayan salt, this new scrub shifts any flakiness to leave your scalp feeling revived, without being damaging or scratchy. You don’t need to use it every time you wash your hair; about once a week will do – simply massage it into your scalp, then the salt granules will dissolve when you shampoo as usual.

For On-The-Go Oil Control
Scalp Solutions Refreshing Protective Mist, £36 | Aveda
If you’re looking to extend the life of your hair between washes, this mist by Aveda will come in extremely handy. Powered by liquorice extract and zinc PCA, it’s designed to balance sebum levels to keep you feeling fresh. It’s a godsend for those prone to oiliness, and we love its bright, uplifting scent. Spray directly onto your scalp and work it in with your fingers for instant relief.

For Filtering Hard Water
Purifying Shower Head 1.0, £59 | Hello Klean
For those who live in areas affected by hard water, a trip outside your postcode can often be enough to restore your hair to its former glory. But for day-to-day results, you need Hello Klean’s clever shower filter in your life. It essentially removes the cocktail of minerals that can cause flakiness and dull your hair’s natural shine. Even for the DIY averse, it’s straightforward to install.

For Encouraging Growth
G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Hair Serum, £43 | Typebea
Boosting growth is such a common hair goal, and while no topical product will transform your strands overnight, this serum by haircare newcomer Typebea has racked up some glowing reviews. Loaded with peptides and Baicapil (a blend of botanical actives), it’s designed to strengthen follicles, increase density and help you achieve overall healthier-looking hair.

Make this exfoliator your go-to. Created by dedicated scalp-care brand Act+Acre, it’s designed to treat both sides of the coin – dryness and oiliness. Formulated with salicylic acid to penetrate the hair follicles, this is such a handy ‘reset’ product to have on hand. Section dry hair and work it directly into your scalp – after just one use you’ll notice a difference.

For Restoring Oil Levels
Hair & Scalp Oil Treatment, £38 | Mimi et Mina
Some people shy away from oil, but it can be a game-changer if you suffer from dryness. The texture of this is almost feather-light and it absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue behind. Formulated with a blend of planted oils – organic peppermint, marula and fenugreek, among others – it’s nourishing without overloading your scalp. Plus, we can’t get enough of the invigorating scent.

For Stimulating Blood Flow
Shampoo Brush, £14.50 | Chāmpo
Acids are extremely effective, but sometimes nothing beats the satisfaction of physical exfoliation. Built with flexible bristles, this brush by Ayurvedic haircare label Chāmpo is super gentle – it works shampoo into your scalp for a deeper root cleanse. Use it in the shower to give your usual haircare routine a relaxing, spa-like quality.
