A revitalising and energising hair treatment created to feed and soothe the scalp while encouraging healthy hair growth.
Alterna Renewing Scalp Care Peppermint Leave-On Treatment works to support a healthy scalp and hair growth. Three essential oils—peppermint, eucalyptus, and tea tree—are combined in a special formula to nourish and soothe the scalp while encouraging strong hair growth. Your scalp will feel renewed and invigorated after using this leave-on treatment, which also aids in reducing itch and irritation.
Apply a small amount directly to the scalp and massage in gently. There is no need to rinse the treatment out, as it is designed to be left on the hair for maximum benefit. Use this treatment 1-2 times per week for best results.
