September – November · hair-shedding season

Less hair left on the brush — and that shows first.

The scalp treatment takes five extra minutes at the wash and is added to the service you already book. Many notice the difference on the brush after just a few treatments; a denser scalp along the partings takes longer — and we will tell you so right away, at the wash. Scalp diagnosis is free.

Why hair sheds more in autumn

Hair has a cycle

Each hair grows for years, then rests and falls out. Summer sun and heat push more hairs into the resting phase at once — and they fall out 2–3 months later. That is why September peaks.

It is not an illness

Seasonal shedding is normal and settles on its own. What we can do is shorten that period: clear the follicle openings and give them a better supply while the cycle returns to normal.

Timing matters

The treatment makes sense at the start of the season, not months into it. The brush shows it first — after just a few treatments; a denser scalp takes longer.

What you get — in the salon and at home

In the salon

Anti-shedding scalp treatment

  • with any service (haircut, colour, styling — about 5 minutes more)+€15
  • standalone appointment with blow-dry styling (wash, ampoule, massage, styling)€35

What happens: scalp diagnosis parting by parting → targeted wash with 2–3 minutes on the skin → ampoule on the scalp, along the partings, not the lengths → fingertip massage for 2–3 minutes → styling or the rest of your service. The ampoule is not rinsed out.

Three protocols, one price: against shedding, for an oily scalp or against dandruff — the diagnosis at the basin picks the protocol, not you.

or add it to your usual service — just tell your stylist at the basin

At home — a 4–5 week kit

Home kit: shampoo + 10 ampoules

  • shampoo 250 ml + 10 ampoules × 10 ml€60
  • with the loyalty card€54

How: the shampoo at every wash (2–3 minutes on the skin, then rinse), the ampoule along the partings 2–3 times a week, worked in with the fingertips, not rinsed, dried as usual. One box lasts 4–5 weeks.

Why the pair: the shampoo prepares the ground and keeps the follicle openings clear, the ampoule stays on the skin for hours and delivers the actives — one without the other is half the mechanism. We do the first application in the salon and show you how, on your own head.

The kit is sold in the salon; the check-up after 2–3 weeks happens there too.

What you will feel: warmth and redness — that means it's working

A few minutes after the anti-shedding ampoule the scalp warms up and turns mildly red, sometimes with a light tingle. It peaks at 10–20 minutes, then fades. That is increased circulation: the ampoule's ingredients widen the capillaries in the scalp, so the follicle receives more blood, oxygen and nutrients. It is not an allergy and not a reason to rinse — that wave is the treatment's main mechanism.

When to rinse and contact us after all: if the redness spreads beyond the scalp, or itching and hives appear on the body. We do not apply the ampoule to an irritated, cracked or injured scalp — and we keep it away from the eyes.

Honestly: what we can and cannot do

Works best for

Seasonal and stress-related shedding, "tired" roots and early thinning — for women and men alike, the protocol is the same. Several of us on the team use it all the time: fewer hairs on the brush is what you actually see.

Not a medicine

A cosmetic protocol with no drugs. We do not promise new hair or speed — we promise a protocol, the first application in the salon and a check-up after 2–3 weeks, on the partings, with a comparison.

Hereditary thinning

Here we are support, not the solution — and we will tell you so at the basin. With pronounced hereditary thinning we will refer you to a dermatologist, without selling a kit "just in case".

Frequently asked questions

Why does my hair shed more in September?

After summer more hairs enter the resting phase at once and fall out 2–3 months later — so September and October peak. A normal cycle, not an illness; the course shortens it and gives the follicle a better supply while everything returns to normal.

How much does the scalp treatment cost?

With any service €15. As a standalone appointment with blow-dry styling €35. Home kit (shampoo + 10 ampoules) €60, €54 with the loyalty card. Same prices in all 5 Zagreb salons.

Why does the scalp feel warm and turn red after the ampoule?

The ampoule widens the scalp's capillaries — warmth and mild redness within minutes, peaking at 10–20 minutes, then fading. That is the mechanism, not an allergy; it is not rinsed out. Rinse only if the redness spreads beyond the scalp or itching and hives appear on the body.

When will I see results?

On the brush first — many notice the difference after just a few treatments (in the salon and at home with the kit, 2–3 times a week). A denser scalp along the partings takes longer, weeks to months; a salon check-up after 2–3 weeks. A cosmetic treatment, not a medicine — with hereditary thinning we will honestly refer you to a dermatologist.

Can I add the treatment to a haircut or colour?

Yes, that is the most common way: book your usual service and tell your stylist at the basin that you want the scalp treatment (+€15, ~5 minutes more). Scalp diagnosis is free with every appointment.
