Our Editors’ Favorite Scalp Masks and Treatments

The scalp is an area of the body that’s often neglected when it comes to skincare. Doing so can result in itchiness, flakiness and dryness and product buildup that can make hair feel more oily. To give your scalp some TLC, look no further than a scalp mask or treatment. Ahead, we rounded up six of our editors’ favorites to help jumpstart your hair refresh.
