Skincare Stops at Your Hairline. It Shouldn't.

Your Skincare Routine Stops at Your Hairline. It Shouldn't.
You double cleanse. You know your niacinamide from your retinol. You would never skip SPF.
But your scalp? It gets shampoo, and that's about it.
Your scalp is skin. It's the same living tissue as your face, with one big difference: it holds around 100 000 hair follicles. That's where every strand is made, and where thinning really starts. Yet most of us never give it a second thought until we notice more hair in the shower drain.

The good news is that this kind of shedding often settles with time. But while it does, your scalp needs more support than shampoo alone can give it.
What it is
The MediHair Hair Growth Scalp Serum is a leave-in serum that nourishes and balances the scalp. It is made to encourage hair thickness, and it leaves your hair looking longer while feeling fuller, healthier and thicker.
You apply it to towel-dried hair straight after washing, massage it in, and leave it there. No oily roots and no rinsing.
How it works: what's inside
You read the back of your face serum. Here's the back of this one.
-
Lactic acid
You'll know this one from your skincare shelf. It's a gentle AHA that keeps the skin's surface fresh and balanced. Here, it does the same job for your scalp.
-
Natural auxins & cytokinins
Plant-derived compounds that drive growth and renewal in plants. In this serum they work at the scalp to nourish the area where your hair begins.
-
Lysine HCl
An amino acid. Your hair is made mostly of keratin, a protein, and amino acids like lysine are its building blocks.
-
Conditioning agents
Behentrimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride and amodimethicone soften and smooth your lengths when you work the leftover serum through. This is why the serum leaves hair feeling fuller and healthier, not stripped.
Skincare for your face works because you use it consistently. Your scalp works the same way.
How to use
- Start with towel-dried hair after washing.
- Divide your hair into four sections.
- Apply the serum directly to the scalp along the hairline of the first section, using the nozzle tip.
- Massage it well into your scalp with your fingertips.
- Smooth any excess through the lengths of your hair.
- Repeat on the other three sections.
- Do not rinse. Style as normal.
Good to know
- Give it four weeks. Hair grows in cycles. Use it consistently and judge it at the four-week mark, not after a few days.
- Take a before photo. Same spot, same light. Thinning and regrowth both happen slowly, and a photo is the honest way to see a change.
- Patch test first if you have a sensitive scalp. Apply a small amount behind your ear and wait 24 hours.
- Storage: Keep it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.
- See a doctor if your hair loss is sudden, patchy, or comes with itching, pain or redness. Some hair loss has medical causes that need proper treatment.

Your scalp is skin too.
You already take care of your skin. Give your scalp a serum that doesn't leave you greasy, a few minutes after every wash, and four weeks of consistency. Then decide for yourself.
