Recommend including scalp products in their daily regime to keep their scalp balanced – the base for beautiful-looking hair. Analyze the scalp at a minimum of 3 different points on the head to make sure that your evaluation is correct. Support and reassure your clients as the scalp is a sensitive topic for many.
