Just as a garden will not flourish without healthy soil, the same is true for your hair and scalp. Sure, those tomato plants you impulse purchased over the summer may whither and droop, but with the proper scalp care routine, the health of your hair will remain ripe for growth (not to mention shine, body, bounce, and more). That's why I'm so hesitant to admit that my scalp doesn't receive as much love as it should, other than the occasional clarifying shampoo rinse in the shower. So when cult-favorite beauty brand Biologique Recherche invited me to the Paul Labrecque Salon & Skincare Spa in NYC for a "scalp experience" and styling session, my dry, lackluster hair, and occasionally itchy scalp, demanded that I check it out.
The French girl-favorite is well known for its skincare essentials, including the notorious Lotion P50, an exfoliating toner more than a few celebrities claim is responsible for their otherworldly glow. But the brand also offers a P50 formula for the scalp, Lotion Capillaire P50, as well as an entire hair care range dedicated to the health of both hair and scalp. I also heard rumors that the signature hair treatment includes a ten-minute head massage, which was more than enough for me to race to midtown Manhattan for my appointment.
