Why is cleansing the scalp before a service important?

Cleansing the scalp before a service is crucial primarily because it removes oils and product buildup. When the scalp is clean, it creates an optimal environment for any products or treatments to be applied effectively. Excess oils and residues from previous products can prevent new products from adequately penetrating the hair and scalp, limiting their effectiveness. Additionally, a clean scalp reduces the risk of irritation or adverse reactions during the service.

While relaxing hair follicles, stimulating hair growth, or enhancing fragrance may seem beneficial, they do not directly address the immediate needs of preparing the scalp for services. Ensuring the scalp is free from obstructions like dirt, oils, and product residue facilitates safer and more effective hair treatments.
