Scalp Care for Oily, Itchy, Flaky & Sensitive Scalps

Healthy hair starts at the scalp. Dandruff, oiliness, itching, sensitivity, and even thinning are most often scalp problems first — hair problems second. Modern scalp care treats the skin on your head the same way good skincare treats your face: cleanse with the right pH, exfoliate weekly, treat actively, and balance the microbiome.

ProHair carries the professional scalp-care lines that actually move the needle — Medavita's Cutis Pura clay scrubs and Lotion Concentrée anti-hair-loss treatments (formulated and made in Italy, used by stylists across Europe and Canada), Nioxin's complete thinning-hair systems, Joico's scalp-balancing range, and Alcove's pre-wash scalp oil. For sensitive scalps, Revlon Equave Kids hypoallergenic and L'Oréal Professionnel Sensi Balance offer fragrance-light alternatives.

Whether you're managing flakes, oily roots that won't quit, post-pregnancy shedding, or product buildup, this is where scalp routines come together.

Foire aux questions

What's the difference between dandruff and dry scalp?
Dandruff is fungal (Malassezia overgrowth) and produces yellowish, oily flakes plus itch; dry scalp is just dehydration and produces small, white, powdery flakes without much itch. They need different treatments — anti-fungal cleansers (Nioxin, ketoconazole-based) for dandruff, gentle moisturizing cleansers + scalp oils for dry scalp.
Why is my scalp oily but my ends are dry?
Common combination — your scalp is producing normal sebum but it isn't reaching your ends, especially with longer or curlier hair. Wash roots more frequently than ends, use sebum-balancing products at the scalp and rich masks on the lengths, and don't over-condition the roots.
Can scalp care actually slow hair loss?
Yes, for some types of loss. Telogen effluvium (post-pregnancy, stress, illness shedding) responds well to scalp circulation + nourishment. Androgenic thinning is hormonal and needs minoxidil or finasteride, but a healthy scalp environment helps any treatment work better. Medavita Lotion Concentrée and Nioxin systems are the professional starting points.
How often should I exfoliate my scalp?
Once a week for most people, twice if you have heavy buildup or oily scalp. Don't exfoliate if your scalp is broken, freshly sunburned, or in active eczema — start with a pre-wash scalp oil instead.
Is Nioxin safe for color-treated hair?
Yes — Nioxin Systems 3, 4, 5, and 6 are formulated for color-treated and chemically-treated hair specifically. Match the system to your hair density (1-2 = noticeably thin, 3-4 = light thinning, 5-6 = progressed).
I have a sensitive scalp that reacts to everything. Where do I start?
Strip the routine back. Switch to a fragrance-light or fragrance-free cleanser (Equave Kids hypoallergenic is a good base), eliminate sulfates, and reintroduce one product at a time. If reactions persist, see a dermatologist — sometimes the trigger isn't your shampoo.
Can I use scalp scrubs on curly or coily hair?
Yes — but be gentle. Apply scrub to wet scalp only, work with fingertips not nails, and don't drag through the lengths. The Alcove pre-wash scalp oil is often a better option for tighter curl patterns since it's gentler on the cuticle.
Do you ship scalp products quickly across North America?
Yes — same-day or next-day dispatch, free over $120. Most provinces see delivery within 2-5 business days.
