The RAHUA: SCALP ROUTINE

A healthy head of hair starts at the scalp. Product build-up, hard water, dry shampoo and seasonal changes can all leave the scalp feeling tight, itchy or oily, and hair that grows from an unbalanced scalp rarely looks its best. This Rahua scalp routine is a simple weekly ritual to reset that balance with plant-based, vegan formulas.

The routine works in two steps. First, an exfoliating shampoo with crushed star anise gently lifts dead skin cells and residue without stripping the scalp. Then Rahua's classic shampoo and conditioner duo cleanses and conditions the lengths, so hair is left soft, light and full of movement.

How often: once a week, or every second week if your scalp is sensitive. On the other days, keep to your usual Rahua shampoo and conditioner.

Best for: oily or flaky scalps, hair that feels weighed down by styling products, and anyone switching to clean haircare who wants a fresh start.

Every Rahua formula is built around rahua (ungurahua) oil, a nut oil sustainably sourced from the Amazon rainforest and known for its small molecules that penetrate the hair shaft. Follow the steps below, or explore the full Rahua range and our natural scalp care edit. For more ideas, see all our haircare routines.

Your ultimate Scalp Care Ritual is powered by plants! Rahua’s invigorating Healthy Microbiome Scalp Setconsists of Classic Shampoo & Classic Conditioner and new Scalp Exfoliating Shampoo. Once a week, change up your routine to include these scalp exfoliating steps. Scalp care is the new skin care, and Rahua provides an all natural way to get to the root of healthy hair.

Incorporate this Scalp Ritual 1x per week to gently exfoliate scalp, remove dead skin cells and build up, and improve scalp circulation while shampooing. This therapeutic scalp treatment restores balance and rejuvenates hair, just in time for warmer weather to arrive.
