{"product_id":"kitoko-healthy-scalp-shampoo-conditoner-1-litre-duo","title":"Kitoko Healthy Scalp Shampoo \u0026 Conditoner 1 Litre Duo","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you're dealing with dandruff, flaking, itching, dryness or an oily scalp, the Kitoko Healthy Scalp Duo is a properly considered solution. This 1 litre shampoo and conditioner regime is specifically formulated to calm and rebalance irritated scalps, built around Propanediol Caprylate (a genuine anti-dandruff active), plus Rosemary, Hibiscus and Celery Seed for botanical soothing. The conditioner also contains Climbazole, a clinically effective anti-dandruff ingredient that most scalp shampoos skip. The result is a proper twice-a-week or daily regime that delivers genuine scalp relief rather than just masking the problem. From the A.S.P Kitoko range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA healthy scalp is where healthy hair starts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScalp health is one of the most underrated factors in how your hair looks and feels. An irritated, flaky or inflamed scalp produces weaker, less healthy hair — follicles don't function optimally when the skin around them is under stress. Treat the scalp properly and you almost always see improvements in the hair itself: less breakage, better texture, healthier growth. That's the thinking behind the Kitoko Healthy Scalp regime — rebalance the scalp properly and the hair benefits follow naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePropanediol Caprylate: the quiet hero\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the headline active ingredient in the formula and the bit most scalp shampoos don't have. Propanediol Caprylate is a modern anti-dandruff active that specifically targets and reduces the bacteria and yeast (primarily Malassezia) responsible for most dandruff and scalp irritation. It works by disrupting the microbial environment on the scalp without stripping the skin's natural barrier, which means you get genuine results without the \"over-treated\" raw feeling that old-school dandruff shampoos can leave you with. Leaves the scalp properly soothed, relieved and flake-free over consistent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRosemary and Hibiscus: botanical soothing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosemary and Hibiscus are a properly effective pairing for scalp care, and both have genuine science behind them:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRosemary Leaf Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce irritation, calm redness, and address the bacterial imbalance that contributes to dandruff. It's also been studied for its effects on scalp circulation, which supports healthier hair growth from the follicle. A properly useful ingredient for dual-benefit scalp and hair health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHibiscus Flower Extract\u003c\/strong\u003e balances and soothes irritated scalps, while helping restore the scalp's natural pH. A balanced pH scalp is less prone to flaking, itching, and bacterial overgrowth, and Hibiscus is one of the most gentle ways to rebalance it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelery Seed Extract rounds out the botanical blend, adding further anti-inflammatory support and scalp calming benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eClimbazole in the conditioner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is worth flagging specifically because it's a genuine point of difference. The matching conditioner contains Climbazole, a well-researched antifungal active that's clinically effective against the Malassezia yeast that causes most dandruff. Most scalp conditioners skip active ingredients entirely and just focus on softening the hair — Kitoko build the anti-dandruff action into both the shampoo and the conditioner, which is why the regime works better than using a scalp shampoo alongside a regular conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGentle enough for daily use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shampoo uses modern, gentle surfactants (Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine) rather than harsh sulphates. This matters enormously for scalp care. Many older anti-dandruff shampoos aggressively strip the scalp in their attempt to clear flakes, which often makes the problem worse long-term by damaging the skin barrier. The Kitoko formula treats the underlying cause gently, which means you can use it consistently without irritating an already-sensitive scalp. Eucalyptus, Geranium and Neroli essential oils add a naturally fresh, spa-like scent that's properly different from the medicinal smell of traditional dandruff shampoos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGood for more than just dandruff\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Healthy Scalp regime isn't only for classic dandruff.

Repeat if needed. Follow with the conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends but also working a small amount into the scalp to deliver the Climbazole where it's needed. Leave for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use as your daily regime for consistent results — scalp conditions improve over weeks of consistent use rather than overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 litre shampoo + 1 litre conditioner professional scalp duo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePropanediol Caprylate targets dandruff-causing bacteria in the shampoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClimbazole antifungal active in the conditioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRosemary Leaf Oil for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHibiscus Flower Extract for pH balance and soothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCelery Seed Extract for further anti-inflammatory support\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSulphate-free, with gentle modern surfactants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShea Butter and Vitamin E keep the hair conditioned while the scalp is treated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnviro-Shield technology for environmental protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelieves dandruff, flaking, itching, dryness and excess oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColour-safe formula\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBetter value than buying shampoo and conditioner separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/shampoo\"\u003eprofessional shampoo collection\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hair-conditioner\"\u003ehair conditioner range\u003c\/a\u003e for more options across different brands and concerns.
