Your Scalp Needs More Than Just Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
When flakes, itchiness or scalp build-up appear, most people reach straight for an anti-dandruff shampoo. But shampoo alone can only do so much. If your scalp isn't properly prepared before cleansing, flakes, excess oil and build-up can remain stubbornly attached.
The Flake Off System takes a different approach.
Instead of starting with shampoo, it begins with a targeted weekly pre-wash scalp treatment that helps nourish the scalp before cleansing. The shampoo then helps wash away impurities, while the conditioner hydrates your hair.

Voices of love & locks
MEET JASON
(AKA LIL J)
With over 20 years behind the salon chair, Jason has worked with thousands of clients and noticed the same frustration time and time again: people struggling with flakes, itchy scalps and product build-up, despite trying countless anti-dandruff shampoos.
That's why he created the Flake Off System. Instead of relying on shampoo alone, Jason developed a treatment-first scalp routine that starts before you wash, helping to loosen build-up, care for the scalp and create the ideal foundation for a healthier-looking scalp.
"Great hair starts with a healthy scalp and that starts before you wash."
Big love from Lil J

Lemongrass
Lemongrass oil brings a fresh citrus aroma to Flake Off and complements the scalp-focused botanical blend, helping leave the scalp feeling fresh and clean.
Coconut
Coconut oil has an affinity for hair proteins and has been shown in research to help reduce protein loss when used before or after washing. In Flake Off, it also provides conditioning within the scalp-focused oil blend.

Use the Treatment once a week. The Shampoo and Conditioner can be used as needed on your regular wash days.
