Still brushing flakes off your shoulders after trying every anti dandruff shampoo? A flaky scalp often has a cause the shampoo cannot reach.

Why your shampoo is not working
Not all flaky scalps are the same. A shampoo made for fungal dandruff will not fix a zinc deficiency. An oil will not calm an allergic reaction. Treating the symptom without the cause brings the problem back.
Common causes of a flaky scalp
- Dry scalp from harsh products or over washing
- Contact dermatitis from relaxers, dyes, shampoos, waxes, glues or synthetic extensions
- Nutritional gaps, especially low zinc
- Seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis and other scalp conditions
- Tight braids, cornrows and weaves that stress the scalp
- Dandruff, linked to an overgrowth of the yeast Malassezia globosa

Tilt your head toward a window, take a photo of the spot that worries you and send it on WhatsApp. A trichologist looks at it and tells you what to do next. No queue, no guessing.
Scalp inflammation needs attention
Redness, soreness, itching or tenderness can mean more than dandruff. Some inflammatory conditions can damage hair follicles over time. If you notice these signs at the crown, see a trichologist early.

- We examine your scalp under a trichoscope.

Some scalp conditions that cause flaking and inflammation are linked to hair thinning. An assessment tells you if your hair is at risk.
Do you treat scalp psoriasis?
We assess psoriasis and other scalp conditions and recommend a plan based on the assessment.

Would recommend them any day. They are such a friendly community, very warm and kind when it comes to their service delivery and do not get me started on the results! They do deliver on what they say and I am absolutely grateful for their support in growing my hair back to what it is today! They did make my dream come true, and finally I can get to embrace who I am fully when I look at myself in the mirror. Thank you so much Hair Hub!
I thank God that after 2 gruesome years of scalp psoriasis, I have finally found a solution that works like magic. This was only possible with the services I got from Hair Hub at Bemuda Plaza, after years of spending so much money on other hair products on the market, all in vain. The first consultation I had was with Celestine Gitau and 3 weeks later I can say without a doubt that I no longer have any flaking or itching of the scalp and the inflammation has since reduced drastically.
Customer service before the procedure was smooth and engaging. The experts handled everything very professionally. 10/10 would recommend.
Their Jet Peel PRP technology is on another level. My hair is gradually coming back. I am happy.
Top notch service. Customer education is precise.
