Two-stage cleansing: why once isn't enough

Why Folli-Heal Plus cleanses the scalp twice before the care steps.

Two-stage cleansing: why once isn't enough
Answer first

Folli-Heal Plus cleanses twice because the first wash mainly lifts styling products, sweat and surface oil, while the second reaches the scalp more evenly. A cleaner scalp lets the following steps, like the elixir and gel, sit on skin rather than on build-up.

First cleanse

Breaks down product, sunscreen and the day's oil.

Second cleanse

With less residue in the way, the therapist can massage the scalp itself and rinse thoroughly.

Questions

Should I double-wash at home?

If you use a lot of product or sunscreen, a second lather can help.

Will it dry my scalp?

Mild cleansers and a good rinse keep it comfortable.
