Design Essentials Peppermint & Aloe Therapeutics Anti-Itch Hair & Scalp Treatment 5oz
Where the tonic is thin and alcohol-based, this 5oz treatment is the opposite: a rich, emollient formula that conditions the hair and the scalp in the same pass.
That makes it the one for scalps that feel tight and dry rather than greasy, the kind that comes on with cold weather, hard water or a long run of dry air indoors. The emollients moisturise the skin at the roots so it stops feeling drawn, and they condition the hair on the way through, leaving it soft and shiny rather than coated. It stays light enough for daily use, which is the trick with a rich formula, because heavy grease-based alternatives just build up and make the problem worse.
- Moisturises a dry, tight scalp and takes the discomfort out of it
- Reduces visible flaking at the roots with regular use
- Conditions the hair as it goes on, adding softness and shine
- Light enough to use every day without build-up

Application tips
Apply to the scalp in sections, a small amount at a time, and work it in with the pads of the fingers rather than the nails. It is rich, so a light hand goes further than it looks.
Anything left on the palms can be smoothed through the lengths. Daily use is fine, and it suits the days after a wash when the scalp starts drawing tight again.
Results
The tight, drawn feeling lifts and the scalp stays comfortable rather than starting to itch again by the afternoon. Cold weather and hard water are where you feel the difference most.
Flaking at the roots reduces over a run of use, and the hair picks up softness and shine on the way through. Nothing greasy accumulates, which is the usual trade with a rich scalp product.
