How To Layer Haircare
When it comes to haircare, layering is not just a styling thing. Just like skincare, layering your hair products is an effective way to maximise the results of your routine, whilst also targeting multiple concerns. Layering is individual to you, whether it’s an itchy scalp or dull, lacklustre locks, building a haircare routine that works for you is essential for your hair and scalp goals.
We’ve broken it down step by step...
Pre wash
Just like a cleanser for your skin, The INKEY List offer pre-shampoo treatments. Our Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment exfoliates the scalp and helps to reduce flakes, itchiness, redness and to control oil production. Our Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Scrub removes product build up, leaving your hair looking clean and healthy.
TRY: The INKEY List Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment.
FOR: Itchy, flaky, irritated scalp and excessive oil build up
HOW TO USE: Apply pre-shampoo using enough to cover the whole scalp and leave for 10 mins before rinsing off and continuing your routine.
Several factors can cause scalp build up. For example, residue from haircare and scalp care products, sebum, dead skin cells and sweat. Exfoliating will help to dissolve the build up, allowing roots to become unclogged, thus encouraging normal hair growth and hair lift. This will leave you hair looking healthy.

FOR: Removing product build, leaving hair looking healthy
HOW TO USE: Apply pre-shampoo using enough to cover the whole scalp and leave for 10 mins before rinsing off and continuing your routine.
We would recommend using our Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Scrub and our Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Scalp Treatment on separate occasions to avoid any risk of irritation. Both products target different concerns, talk to our askINKEY team if you need more information regarding the two products and when best to use them
The INKEY List hair range is designed for use alongside your normal Shampoo and Conditioner.
Post wash
Our hair range includes a number of products that can have instant impact on the finish of your hair. Working with the complex cortex of the hair strands, we can easily layer shine with volume, repair with hydration through our targeted hair treatments.
Each product can be used together and, for best results, we recommend applying to damp hair (note some are best used as the first treatment in your post-wash layering to ensure they reach the cortex for best results).
