Dry, Itchy Scalp? This Serum Makes Having A Healthier Scalp (And Hair) Easier

You might start your day with a shower and a shave — it’s all a normal part of your hygiene routine. And while it’s probably been working fine, there’s a part of your body that you might be neglecting: your scalp. Scalp health often gets forgotten, even though scalp problems can cause a disruption in your day. If you’ve ever experienced dandruff or itchiness, that can be a sign that your scalp just needs a little more attention. Divi is set out to help tackle scalp issues and make scalp care more of a priority.

What is Divi?

Divi is a brand created by Dani Austin, a mother who was experiencing hair loss and struggling to find effective products. But Divi goes beyond this singular hair challenge to focus on helping people achieve overall scalp health. The Divi Scalp Serum was formulated to help hair even through stressful times (like fatherhood, for example) and keep follicles strong.

Here is a closer look at a few of the active ingredients:

• Caffeine: According to a 2007 laboratory study caffeine was shown to stimulate hair follicle growth.
• Tea Tree Oil: Long associated with scalp health, studies have shown tea tree oil is an effective ingredient for reducing dandruff.
• Copper tripeptide-1: An increasingly popular ingredient in skin and hair care, this peptide aims to help thicken your hair by enlarging the hair follicles.

The full list of ingredients includes:

Water, Glycerin, Ascorbic Acid, Caffeine, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Rosemary Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Peppermint (Mentha Arvensis) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) Oil, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Biotin, Hyaluronic Acid, Menthol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Glycine, Serine, Valine, Proline, Threonine, Isoleucine, Copper Gluconate, Histidine, and Phenylalanine

How To Use Divi

Application is pretty straightforward. Every bottle includes a dropper. The company believes that just applying 3/4 of the dropper a day can achieve results. You can apply it in the morning on to hair that’s dry or towel-dried.

With proper use, your bottle of Divi should last for a full month. Divi says that it normally takes around three months until you can fully witness a noticeable difference. But of course, every person’s experience with it is a little different.

Who is the Divi Scalp Serum right for?

This serum is a product that just about anyone can use, according to the brand (unless, of course, you’re allergic or sensitive to any of its ingredients). For expectant parents, the brand states that it’s even safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (but they recommend checking in with your doctor first before adding anything new to your routine). Reviewers like the way it smells, with one noting that “it’s lightweight and not greasy.”

“Only been using [it] for 3 weeks but so far I like it!” said a reviewer. “Doesn’t leave my hair greasy and I have noticed less hair falling out. Will continue to purchase and will update again!”

What if Divi isn’t for me?

As with any product, results may vary. If you find that Divi’s Scalp Serum isn’t right for you the company has a 60-day return policy, along with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. All you have to do is follow the instructions on their website.
