Scalp serum
Scalp Serum by KEUNE
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. A scalp serum gives the skin beneath your hair targeted care, helping to keep it calm and balanced. Hair pros particularly recommend it if your scalp easily becomes red, itchy or feels tight.
Why is scalp care important?
Your scalp is the foundation from which your hair grows. When the skin is irritated or out of balance, it can feel uncomfortable and affect how your hair looks. Yet the scalp often receives little attention in hair care routines.
Shampoo and conditioner mainly focus on the hair itself. A scalp serum complements them because you apply it directly where it is needed. Read more about common concerns in our blog about scalp problems.
What is the difference between a scalp serum and a hair serum?
A regular hair serum is applied to the lengths and ends. It smooths the hair, adds shine or controls frizz. This type of serum is not intended for the scalp.
A scalp serum is specifically developed for the skin itself. You apply it directly to the scalp and do not rinse it out, allowing its ingredients to continue working where they are needed.
When should you choose a scalp serum?
A scalp serum is a useful addition when your scalp regularly feels unsettled. For example, if it becomes red after washing, feels itchy or tight. Targeted scalp care can also have a place in your routine if your hair feels thinner.
Consider what your scalp needs most. Do you primarily want to soothe it, or support hair growth? That determines which serum suits you best.
Which serum helps with a sensitive scalp?
Redness, itching and irritation are signs of a sensitive scalp. Scalp Sensitive Serum has been specifically developed for this. It soothes irritation, reduces redness and supports the skin's protective barrier.
The serum contains bisabolol, panthenol, allantoin and inulin. It is fragrance-free, silicone-free, vegan and dermatologically tested. Ideal if you prefer a product without perfume. Find more practical advice in our blog with tips for a sensitive scalp.
If your main concern is flakes or dandruff, targeted anti-dandruff care is more suitable.
How do you apply a scalp serum?
Use a comb to create several partings in your hair. Apply the serum directly to the scalp along these partings and gently massage it in with your fingertips. Do not rinse it out.
Use the serum on a clean scalp, for example after washing. The recommended frequency varies by product, so follow the instructions on the packaging. Long & Strong Super Serum, for example, is used daily for 60 days.
Scalp oil or serum?
Hair oil is mainly used on the lengths and ends. A scalp serum is specifically designed for direct application to the skin and targets particular needs, such as soothing or supporting hair growth. If you're unsure which suits you, read our FAQ about choosing scalp oil or serum.
