The Ultimate Guide to a healthy scalp with Paul Edmonds London
Dealing with scalp problems and hair health can take a toll on your confidence and overall well-being - we’ve all experienced those awful itches at some point. From greasiness to flakiness and hair loss, these concerns can linger for months. At Paul Edmonds London, we prioritise a holistic consultation approach to ensure your hair and scalp are in the best condition possible. That way we’re sure you’ll not only leave with beautiful and healthy hair, but more importantly, you’ll leave feeling confident too.
A well-maintained scalp is at the heart of healthy hair:
Poor hair health can be caused by all sorts of daily aggressors, like pollution, hormonal imbalances, ageing or using products that aren't a good match for you. At our Battersea salon, we use a specialist device called a Trichoscopy; a digital magnifier that gives us a better understanding of what may be happening to the scalp to help us evaluate the best ways to treat it. We will also be able to advise on in-salon treatment options, so please be sure to chat to your stylist during your consultation.

"I was feeling so frustrated with my scalp and hair health. I was struggling to find the right solution for the combination of oiliness and flakiness I was experiencing. The team at Paul Edmonds recommended the Davines Purifying Naturaltech shampoo along with the Davines Purifying Gel, and the difference was immediately noticeable. I maintained my hair health with the Davines NouNou shampoo and conditioner. These products have been a game changer for my hair; it has noticeably grown in the last few months and the condition has improved dramatically!"
- Micaela, Paul Edmonds client
Understand your scalp:
Recognising the complexity of understanding your scalp can be difficult. That's where the Trichoscopy camera plays a crucial role, enabling our team to provide personalised treatment recommendations for your journey to scalp care, allowing you and your stylist to see the issue on screen. We keep a record so that you can follow your journey at each appointment.
DRY SCALP:
Signs that you could be dealing with a dry scalp often include feelings of itchiness and occasional flaking. However, it's important to note that the flaking associated with a dry scalp may differ from dandruff, which is a condition that can affect various scalp types.
Our recommended products:
OWAY PURIFYING BATH - DRY SCALP
Soothing and purifying bath for scalp and hair with dry dandruff.
KÉRASTASE SYMBIOSE INTENSIVE ANTI DANDRUFF CELLULAR NIGHT SERUM
This nourishing mask leaves hair feeling hydrated and moisturised, whilst helping hair to feel softer and look shinier with a lightweight feel.
SENSITIVE SCALP:
Delicate scalps can be responsive to external factors such as weather changes, water quality, and the products you use. You may experience symptoms such as itchiness, burning, flaking, stinging, dryness, inflammation, a sensation of tightness, or just general irritation. Certain medical conditions like dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema can also contribute to scalp sensitivity. It's also important to note that sensitive scalp can be caused by food allergies and intolerances too.
Our recommended products:
KEVIN MURPHY SCALP.SPA TREATMENT
Ideal for use directly on the scalp, this cleansing foam removes dirt and excess oils, hydrates, regulates sebum production and calms and moisturises.
OWAY VIVIFYING REMEDY - SENSITIVE SCALP
Provides a light hydration improving the comfort of the most sensitive scalps.
OILY SCALP:
Oily scalps can arise due to product build up and an excess production of sebum
Our recommended products:
KÉRASTASE SPECIFIQUE BAIN DIVALENT SHAMPOO
This scalp balancing shampoo treats oily roots by regulating the overproduction of sebum. It also treats the hair fibre from lengths to tips to nourish dry and sensitised ends for hair to regain softness and shine.
OWAY SEBUM BALANCE HAIR BATH
Normalising bath for greasy and heavy hair, and for scalp with excessive sebaceous secretion.
BALANCED SCALP:
The ideal scalp condition for optimal health is a balanced scalp. This means it naturally maintains just the right amount of sebum without causing any issues. While not everyone is blessed with a naturally balanced scalp, it's a goal many of us aim to achieve.
Our recommended products:
DAVINES NATURALTECH WELL-BEING SHAMPOO
Contains echinacea which helps maintain a healthy hair balance. Its full-bodied and rich foam cleanses without attacking and changing the hair structure.
COMBINATION SCALP:
Individuals with a combination scalp often encounter greasy roots and dry tips. In this case, the natural oils produced by the scalp tend to accumulate on the skin instead of evenly distributing down the hair shaft, as is typical for a balanced scalp. Alternatively, although less common, some may experience dry roots and oily ends. This complex scalp type can result from a variety of factors including genetics, environmental conditions, and lifestyle choices such as excessive exposure to harsh chemicals through colouring, hair products, and treatments.
Our recommended products:
DAVINES NATURALTECH NOURISHING SHAMPOO
Davines Naturaltech Nourishing Shampoo cleanses gently with a nourishing action without changing the hair structure.
KEVIN MURPHY SCALP.SPA SCRUB
Perfect for use as pre-wash, this exfoliating treatment purifies the scalp, and protects it from dryness. Suitable for men and women.
Hair loss:
Hair loss can serve as a potential indicator of an underlying medical condition, like alopecia or psoriasis, or it may suggest that your body is under stress or lacking essential nutrients. Illness or medication can also be contributing factors. Thinning hair can manifest in a uniform manner across the entire scalp or result in localised bald spots. Additionally, specific fungal infections or seasonal changes can also contribute to hair loss. In essence, if you're experiencing hair loss, it's a sign that your scalp may require some attention and care.
Our recommended products:
