Harrington’s Expert Guide to Hair & Scalp Care

A Comprehensive Routine for Stronger, Thicker, Healthier Hair

Healthy, beautiful hair begins at the scalp. The scalp is a living ecosystem with oil glands, follicles, and microbiome balance — and when it becomes congested, irritated, or dry, hair density and growth can be affected. This expanded guide teaches customers how to properly care for both hair and scalp using modern and traditional techniques.

Understanding Hair & Scalp Health

The Scalp is Skin — and Must Be Treated Like Skin

• Contains over 100,000 follicles

• Produces sebum to protect hair

• Can become congested by sweat, dead skin, hard water, and product residue

• A balanced scalp = better hair growth environment

Common Scalp Problems That Stop Growth

• Product buildup blocking follicles

• Excess oil causing inflammation

• Dandruff or dry flakes

• Poor circulation

• Hard water minerals coating the scalp

• UV damage (very common in the UAE)

A proper routine prevents these and helps hair grow stronger and thicker.

Daily Hair Care Routine For All Hair Types

Gentle Cleansing

Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo 2–4 times weekly.

• Removes oils and sweat

• Prevents clogged follicles

• Protects natural moisture balance

Tip: In hot climates like UAE, washing more often may be needed due to humidity and sweat.

Condition Properly

Apply conditioner only on mid-lengths to ends, not the scalp.

• Hydrates strands

• Prevents breakage

• Adds shine and softness

Protect from Heat & UV

Daily exposure weakens hair over time.

• Heat protectant

• UV shield or hair serum

Avoid Over-brushing

• Brush gently to avoid snapping weakened strands.
  Use soft bristles or a wide-tooth comb.

Scalp Care Routine Promotes Density & Growth

Keep Scalp Clean

A clean scalp supports healthy follicles.

• Shampoo regularly

• Remove sweat and product film

• Reduce dandruff-causing buildup

Improve Circulation

Massage the scalp 2–3 minutes daily.

• More oxygen & nutrients reach follicles

• Encourages thicker-looking hair

• Helps hair serums absorb better

Nourish Daily with Serum

Use growth serums (e.g., Harrington’s) directly on the scalp to:

• Strengthen roots

• Reduce breakage

• Support growth cycle

• Improve overall thickness

Apply nightly for best results.

Scalp Detoxing (Every 7–10 Days)

This is essential for people who use oils, gels, leave-in sprays, or sweat frequently.

Why Detox the Scalp?

• Removes deep buildup

• Clears blocked follicles

• Restores natural pH

• Helps serums penetrate better

• Reduces flaking, itchiness, and irritation

Step 1: Pre-Detox Oil (Optional)

• Softens flakes and loosens debris.
  Use light oils like rosemary or argan.

Step 2: Gently Exfoliate

Use a scalp scrub or scalp brush.
Avoid harsh scrubbing — gentle circles only.
Benefits:

• Removes dead skin

• Boosts circulation

• Refreshes the scalp environment

Step 3: Clarifying or Detox Shampoo

Use once a week or once every 10 days.
This lifts away:

• Hard water minerals

• Styling products

• Oil plugs

• Pollution particles

Step 4: Thorough Rinse

• Scalp must be 100% clean — no residue.

Step 5: Apply Growth Serum

• After detox, follicles are highly receptive.
  Use Harrington’s Hair Growth Serum to nourish roots deeply.

Weekly Hair Strengthening Routine

Use a Nourishing Mask

Deep condition once a week.

• Repairs damaged strands

• Reduces breakage

• Improves shine and softness

Oil Treatment (1–2x Weekly)

Oils such as castor, argan, jojoba, and rosemary:

• Strengthen roots

• Improve shine

• Smooth frizz

• Protect from dryness

Apply to lengths, not scalp, unless doing a specific treatment.

Avoid Overloading Hair

• Too much oil or product can suffocate follicles.
  Use lightweight formulas — especially in hot climates.

Lifestyle Factors That Improve Hair Growth

Nutrition

Include foods rich in:

• Biotin

• Omega fats

• Zinc

• Vitamin D

• Protein

Hydration

• Drink plenty of water — dehydration makes hair brittle.

Stress Management

• Stress can trigger hair fall.
  Meditation, rest, and good sleep support scalp health.

Consistency

• Hair needs time — visible improvement takes 8–12 weeks of consistent care.

Summary

A complete hair-and-scalp routine should include:

• Gentle cleansing

• Daily nourishment

• Weekly detoxing

• Regular scalp massage

• Proper conditioning & heat protection

With the right care, the scalp stays clean and balanced, allowing hair to grow stronger, denser, and healthier. Harrington’s advanced formulas are designed to support every step of this routine
