Millions of clients sit in the colorist’s chair every year, and for those with sensitive skin or scalps, that appointment often comes with quiet burning, stinging, and discomfort along the way. Zenagen believes that should change, starting with the missing first step in professional color: Scalp Prep+.
Developed by Zenagen founder and molecular biologist Jared Reynolds, the new Scalp Prep+ is an innovative pre-service scalp treatment designed to help prepare the scalp before chemical services and support scalp comfort throughout processing. It’s the first pre-service scalp treatment designed to help stop the burn before it starts, without changing the way professionals color hair. Scalp Prep+ launches September 14 and will be available at pro.zenagen.com.
“This is the best thing I’ve ever seen for protecting the scalp during chemical services,” Reynolds shares. “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.”
The Technology
Scalp Prep+ is infused with Zenagen’s ComfortVeil Technology, a proprietary multi-action scalp protection system that helps prepare, support, and protect the scalp before and during chemical services. It works to reinforce the scalp’s natural protective barrier while reducing sensations of burning, stinging, and discomfort commonly associated with chemical processing. Its lightweight, breathable application creates an even protective veil across the scalp without interfering with color performance, helping deliver a more comfortable service experience from start to finish.
The formula is also enhanced with a proprietary botanical complex featuring:
- CO2-extracted rosemary
- Green tea
- Pumpkin seed
- Turmeric
- Saw palmetto
- Red clover
- Other carefully selected botanicals to help maintain a healthy scalp environment
How to Use It
- Apply directly to the client’s scalp just minutes before color, bleach, blonding, lighteners, relaxers, smoothing treatments, and other professional chemical services
- Allow approximately 2–3 minutes to dry while preparing the color formula
- Proceed with the service exactly as normal
- Compatible with professional color, bleach, blonding, highlights, lighteners, relaxers, smoothing treatments, and other direct-to-scalp chemical services
- Won’t alter formulas, processing times, or professional color performance
The Results
Clinical testing demonstrated meaningful improvements in the client experience during chemical services, including:
- Up to 80% less burning sensation
- Up to 78% less stinging sensation
- Comfort beginning in as little as 3 minutes
- Immediate cooling sensation
Chemical services shouldn’t come with a side of discomfort. Scalp Prep+ makes sure the first step behind the chair is protection, not just prep. Set your reminders for September 14th to get your hands on this game-changing addition to your color service on pro.zenagen.com — your clients’ scalps (and comfort levels) will thank you.
