Pro Pre-Treatment
“This is the best thing I’ve ever seen for protecting the scalp during chemical services. Our industry has perfected how we protect the hair, but we’ve largely accepted scalp discomfort as part of the process. It doesn’t have to be. We developed Scalp Prep+ because we believe protecting the scalp should become the new first step before every professional chemical service.”
