I Went a Week Without Quism. Here Are 5 Things My Scalp Taught Me.

Sound familiar?

- Your scalp feels tight the moment your hair dries 

- It gets itchy a day or two after you switch shampoos 

- You catch yourself scratching at your part 

- Your hair looks clean but your scalp never feels comfortable 

If you nodded at two or more, keep reading.

1. Your scalp is skin.

It is the same skin as your face, with hair growing out of it. A shampoo that strips it leaves it feeling tight and dry, the same way a harsh face wash does.

2. You do not notice until you switch.

I travelled for a week and used a different shampoo. By the end of it my scalp was so itchy I could not leave it alone. Back home on Quism, it felt better right away. I had not realized how much my routine was doing until I stopped using it.

3. Clean should not feel tight.

Many shampoos clean by stripping, and that squeaky feeling in the shower is often too much being taken away. Gentle Shampoo cleanses without stripping, so your scalp is not starting the day dry.

4. Hydration starts in the shower.

You do not need a separate scalp step. Gentle Shampoo cleans, Moisture Conditioner puts moisture back from mid-lengths to ends, and the Hair Mask Treatment goes on once a week. Three bottles, in the time you already spend in the shower.

5. It came out of a chair, not a lab brief.

My father-in-law, Frank, spent 50+ years behind the chair and formulated HydrApple Complex because he could not buy what his clients needed. I relaunched it because I could not find anything that worked on real hair in a real life.

What we are not going to tell you

We are not going to tell you this treats dandruff, flaking or a scalp condition. Nothing in a shampoo bottle should promise that. If your scalp is red, flaking or sore, see your doctor or a dermatologist. What we can do is give you a routine that cleans without stripping, so your scalp feels comfortable again.

What HydrApple Complex actually does

HydrApple Complex is the hydration system at the centre of every Quism formula. It draws moisture into the strand and helps it stay there, which is what lets the cuticle lie flat instead of lifting to grab humidity from the air.

It is the reason a Quism gel can hold your curl and soften your hair at the same time. Most gels only do one.
