Notes from the studio

Short reads on scalp health, herbs, and the ritual.

Why scalp health matters for your hair

Your scalp is skin, and it grows every strand you have. Here is why caring for it changes how your hair feels.

What a decoction is, why we brew the herbs like tea, and the four we pour warm over the scalp.

A walk through the ritual, from the first look at your scalp to warm tea at the end.

Honest guidance on rhythm. Monthly suits most people, with room to come more or less as your scalp asks.
