Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. If you’re searching for a Trichological Scalp Treatment in Cleveland, you may be wondering what really happens during the process. Our treatments go beyond basic salon care to restore balance, improve scalp health, and protect the hair you have. Just like your skin benefits from a facial, your scalp benefits from this customized, restorative care.

But here’s what makes the difference: Trichological Scalp Treatments are not “one-size-fits-all,” nor should they be self-diagnosed. Every guest begins with a ScalpCheck®, which allows our trained team to identify the root causes of your scalp concerns and build a customized treatment protocol.

At Jeffrey Paul’s Hair & Scalp Specialists in Cleveland, we believe your journey begins with knowledge—and continues with a plan that’s unique to you.

Why Is My Scalp So Itchy? A Trichologist Breaks It Down

Woman scratching her itchy scalp with a frustrated expression, text overlay reads “got itch?”—visual concept for blog post about oily scalp and scalp inflammation.

Think it’s dryness or dandruff? The real culprit is likely excess oil—and your current routine may be making it worse.

If your scalp itches, your first thought is probably, “It must be dry.”
You might reach for conditioner, scalp oils, or even Head & Shoulders—only to find it gets worse. Here’s the thing: most itchy scalps aren’t dry. They’re oily.

Yep, oily.

And that “itch” you’re feeling? It’s often inflammation from oil buildup—not a lack of moisture. As trichologists, we see this every day. Understanding the real cause is the first step toward relief.

Each product package includes five wet products: shampoo, conditioners & proteins; a roll of tape, a brush, a styrofoam head, a brisk refresher, a chin strap, a microfiber towel, and a maintenance guide. This complete product package, along with the shipping, costs $200. In December, our team set a goal to provide 20 product packages for children in need. We need your help! 

Our company has decided to match 100% of any donation to Wigs for Kids up to $2,000*. These donations must be made through our center or online store. So whether you would like to financially donate a roll of tape or a complete package, know that your donations will be doubled and brings us one step closer to helping another child take care of their hair!

5 Causes of Hair Color Fading

Summer faded hair

The end of summer is always a bittersweet time. Warm weather begins cooling off, the pools are closing, and the beaches don’t have quite as many faces on them. Those summer activities are ones to remember, but they can be remembered in the wrong way when it comes to your hair and how that summer fun can leave your hair a discolored mess.

What is a Glossing?

A Hair Glossing is a quick add-on service that refreshes color that has faded or oxidized by depositing color and resealing the hair cuticle, allowing hair to have a more natural, rich tone and healthy feel vs. the faded, unnatural look and unhealthy feel.

A Hair Glossing is recommended after prolonged sun exposure (like after the summer months) or every three months to help keep hair looking and feeling great and extend the life of healthy hair. One of our hair specialists can also make recommendations on when hair is beginning to oxidize and when a Hair Glossing will make the most impact!

 

What Causes Hair To Fade or Oxidize?

Is a heat protectant important for my hair?

Is a heat protectant important for my hair?Heat Protectant Vital for Hair, We are in the middle of summer, which means sun, pool, and lots of ice cream cones! No one likes a melted ice cream cone, but it is replaceable, but when it comes to melted hair that’s permanent. It raises the question, Do you need a heat protectant for your hair?

In today’s world, sunscreen is a must for anyone who wants to go out in the sun. Sunscreen keeps the skin protected against the heat of the sun. In the same way, you should never…NEVER… place heat on hair without some form of heat protectant. In a sense, heat protectants are hair’s sunscreen for blow dryers and hot tools. Without them, your hair risks being damaged.

Blow dryers, straighteners, and curling irons can be dangerous sources of heat for hair because they have the potential to burn the hair and strip away its natural oils and moisture. This can make hair dry, brittle, and even more prone to breakage.

By coating the hair shaft with a protective layer, heat protectants prevent the heat from penetrating the hair and damaging the inner structure. The use of heat protectants can also help to keep the hair healthy and prevent breakage by sealing in moisture.

Here are some of the benefits of using heat protectant:

Is Brushing My Hair Causing Hair Loss?

Is brushing my hair causing hair loss?

Brushing your hair is a part of your daily routine, but can it also cause hair loss? The answer is yes, in some cases.

How much hair is normal to lose when brushing?

Is Hair Loss Caused by Brushing? Let’s start by saying that it’s normal to lose 80-100 hairs a day. They’ll grow back because this is the normal life cycle of a hair follicle. You’ll lose most of the 80-100 hairs when you brush or shampoo. However, if you are losing more than 100 hairs per day, noticing bald patches on your scalp, or seeing a lot of short hairs, it is possible that brushing your hair is causing hair loss.
