When we think about healthy hair, we often jump straight to shampoos, serums, and styling products. But the real secret to vibrant, resilient hair starts at the scalp—with something you can’t see: your scalp microbiome.
Just like your skin and gut, the scalp has its own ecosystem of bacteria, yeasts, and microorganisms. When this microbiome is in balance, it helps regulate oil, calm inflammation, and support strong hair growth. But when it's disrupted—by stress, hormones, over-washing, or harsh ingredients—you may notice flaking, irritation, excess oil, or even hair thinning.
At Savvy & Shine, we work with Capilo by Eva Professional—a professional-grade scalp care range rooted in science and ritual. While Capilo doesn’t overtly market itself as “microbiome care,” every product is sulfate-free, pH balanced, and packed with botanicals and active ingredients that support the scalp’s natural environment.
Let’s explore how each Capilo line nurtures both scalp health and the scalp microbiome.
💧 Oxygenum – For Dry or Oily Dandruff
Dandruff isn’t always caused by dry skin—it can also stem from overactive oil glands and microbial imbalance. Oxygenum tackles both types with ingredients like raspberry vinegar, white tea, and lavender, which:
-
Purify and oxygenate the scalp
-
Strengthen its natural defences
-
Soothe irritation and reduce flakes
This range is ideal if you're experiencing stubborn flakes, tightness, or build-up—whether dry or oily.
⚖️ Ekilibrium – For Oily Scalps or Oily Scalp with Dry Ends
Many people struggle with oily roots but dry, brittle lengths. Ekilibrium is designed to bring balance. Powered by mint, sage, and bitter orange extract, it:
-
Regulates oil production
-
Maintains scalp pH
-
Soothes the skin while revitalising dry, dull ends
Ekilibrium supports a healthier microbiome by clearing excess sebum without harsh stripping, creating the right conditions for harmony.
🌱 Energikum – For Progressive or Temporary Hair Loss
Whether hair loss is hormonal, stress-related, or seasonal, Energikum helps stimulate regrowth with stem cell activators, amino acids, and thermal spring water. This line:
-
Promotes scalp circulation and cell turnover
-
Boosts the hair's life cycle
-
Redensifies and strengthens weakened hair
By supporting the follicle environment and calming inflammation, Energikum provides the ideal base for the microbiome to thrive.
💪 Vitalikum – For Oily Hair Loss or Hair Loss + Oily Dandruff
If you’re dealing with excess oil, hair thinning, and dandruff, Vitalikum is your go-to. It combines:
-
Quillaia and rosemary to reduce oil and flakes
-
Stem cell activators to fight hair loss
-
Amino acids to rebuild hair structure
This powerful range addresses the common root cause of hair loss: an inflamed, congested scalp.
🫧 Calmikum – For Sensitive, Irritated or Inflamed Scalps
Designed for the most reactive scalps, Calmikum uses ultra-soothing ingredients to:
-
Calm inflammation
-
Reduce redness and discomfort
-
Rebuild the skin’s barrier function
Perfect post-colour or for clients with eczema, psoriasis, or chronic scalp sensitivity, Calmikum supports a calm, balanced microbiome from the first use.
The Capilo Ritual: Microbiome-Friendly by Design
Each Capilo treatment is part of a ritual: diagnosis, exfoliation, cleanse, and treatment. This multi-step approach not only personalises care—it’s rooted in respecting the skin barrier and the scalp’s microbiome.
By using Capilo consistently over 3–6 months, clients see:
-
Reduced scalp reactivity
-
Better regulation of oil
-
Stronger, fuller-looking hair
Healthy hair starts at the scalp—and a healthy scalp starts with a balanced microbiome.
Capilo offers more than just treatment—it offers a scientific, sensory, and salon-exclusive experience that helps rebalance the scalp and restore confidence.
