FAQs

Is Lushka only for people experiencing hair loss?

No. You do not need to be experiencing hair loss to use Lushka.

The range supports overall scalp and hair health, helping create an optimum environment for healthier-looking hair. It is suitable for concerns including dryness, build-up, weakness, breakage, brittleness and damage caused by colouring, bleaching, heat styling or environmental stress.

Who can use Lushka?

Lushka is designed for a wide range of hair types, textures and concerns. It can be incorporated into a routine for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.

Always follow the directions for each product and complete a patch test before use. If you have a diagnosed scalp condition, allergies or a particularly sensitive scalp, seek professional advice before introducing new products.

Can I use Lushka if my hair is healthy?

Absolutely. Consistent scalp and haircare can help maintain moisture, softness, strength and shine while protecting the hair against everyday damage.

Lushka can be used as a preventative maintenance routine - not simply as a response to visible thinning or damage.

What does "scalp-first haircare" mean?

The scalp is where every strand begins. A scalp-first routine focuses on keeping it properly cleansed, nourished and hydrated so it provides a supportive environment for healthier-looking hair.

Lushka combines scalp care with products that condition, strengthen and protect the lengths.

Which Lushka product is best for thinning and shedding concerns?

The Lushka Multi-Peptide Hair Growth Serum is our signature product for concerns around visible thinning, reduced density and excessive shedding.

Its formula combines a targeted multi-peptide complex with Saw Palmetto, Biotin and Sodium Hyaluronate to support stronger-looking roots, visible density and scalp hydration.

Does the Multi-Peptide Serum cure hair loss?

No cosmetic product can promise to cure every type of hair loss.

The serum is designed to support the appearance of fuller, denser and stronger-looking hair when used consistently. Hair loss can have many causes, including hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, medication and underlying health conditions.

Speak to your GP or dermatologist if your hair loss is sudden, severe, patchy or unexplained.

Can I use the Multi-Peptide Serum on its own?

Yes. However, using it alongside the complete Lushka range helps create a cleaner, more hydrated and supportive scalp environment.

A consistent routine also protects the existing hair against dryness, weakness and breakage, which can make thinning appear more noticeable.

How often should I apply the serum?

Apply the Multi-Peptide Serum directly to the scalp twice daily, following the directions supplied with the product.

Consistency is important. Allow the serum to absorb and avoid applying excessive amounts, as more product does not necessarily produce better results.

What is the difference between shedding and breakage?

Shedding occurs when a complete strand releases from the follicle, often with a small bulb visible at one end.

Breakage occurs when the hair snaps somewhere along its length. You may notice shorter pieces, split ends, uneven lengths or increased hair around the shoulders.

Lushka's scalp serum is intended for concerns around visible thinning and shedding, while the Conditioner and Recovery Mask help reinforce fragile lengths and reduce the appearance of breakage.

Can I use Lushka on bleached or colour-treated hair?

Yes. Bleaching, colouring and frequent heat styling can weaken the hair cuticle, reduce moisture and make strands more vulnerable to breakage.

The Lushka Conditioner and Recovery Hair Mask contain ingredients selected to nourish, condition and reinforce dry, chemically treated hair. Always follow the advice of your colourist and complete a strand test when necessary.

How does Hydrolysed Keratin support damaged hair?

Hydrolysed Keratin helps reinforce the hair fibre and improve the feel and appearance of weak, porous or damaged strands.

It can help hair feel smoother and stronger while reducing the appearance of breakage. It does not permanently repair the hair, so continued care and reduced exposure to damaging treatments remain important.

Which ingredients help nourish brittle hair?

The range includes ingredients such as Hydrolysed Keratin, Pea Peptide, Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, Panthenol and Glycerin.

Together, these ingredients help condition the hair, support moisture retention and improve the appearance of strength, softness and shine.

What is the difference between the Conditioner and Hair Mask?

The Conditioner provides regular nourishment, softness and manageability following shampooing.

The Recovery Hair Mask is a more intensive treatment for dry, brittle or visibly damaged hair. It contains Hydrolysed Keratin, Shea Butter, Argan Oil and Jojoba Oil to deeply condition and reinforce weakened lengths.

How do I use the Lushka Hair Oil?

The Hair Oil is a pre-wash scalp treatment.

Apply a small amount directly to the scalp and massage gently for two to three minutes. This helps loosen stubborn surface build-up while the botanical oils nourish and condition the scalp.

Follow by double cleansing thoroughly with Lushka Shampoo to remove the oil and loosened residue.

Why should I double cleanse after using the Hair Oil?

The first cleanse helps break down and remove the pre-wash oil, excess sebum and loosened build-up.

The second cleanse properly refreshes the scalp and hair, leaving them clean and ready for the Conditioner, Mask and Multi-Peptide Serum.

Which ingredients are included in the Hair Oil?

The Hair Oil contains Jojoba, Camellia, Coconut, Argan and Sunflower Oils, alongside Rosemary, Tea Tree and Vitamin E.

These ingredients help nourish, soften and condition the scalp and hair as part of the pre-wash ritual.

Can Lushka help with a dry or irritated scalp?

Lushka can support a gentle scalp-care routine by helping cleanse build-up and maintain moisture. Ingredients such as Glycerin, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Jojoba Oil and Argan Oil help care for a scalp that feels dry or tight.

Patch-test first and stop using a product if it causes burning, increased itching or irritation.

Can Lushka treat eczema?

No. Lushka is a cosmetic scalp and haircare range and is not intended to diagnose, cure or treat eczema.

If you have scalp eczema, psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis or another diagnosed condition, ask your GP, dermatologist or pharmacist whether the products are suitable for your routine. Avoid applying new products to broken, weeping or severely inflamed skin without professional advice.

Can Lushka treat dandruff?

Lushka is not a medicated anti-dandruff treatment.

The pre-wash oil massage and double-cleansing routine can help remove excess oil, residue and surface build-up. However, persistent dandruff may require a suitable medicated shampoo or professional assessment.

Seek advice if the scalp is very itchy, painful, red or swollen, or if symptoms do not improve.

In what order should I use the Lushka range?

For a complete scalp-first routine:

1. Apply the Hair Oil to the scalp before washing.
2. Massage gently for two to three minutes.
3. Double cleanse with the Shampoo.
4. Apply the Conditioner to nourish and soften the hair.
5. Use the Recovery Hair Mask as an intensive treatment when required.
6. Apply the Multi-Peptide Serum directly to the scalp as directed.

Always follow the individual instructions supplied with each product.

Will the Hair Oil make my hair greasy?

The Hair Oil is designed to be cleansed away after the pre-wash massage.

Use a small, controlled amount and double cleanse thoroughly. Using too much oil or failing to cleanse it out completely may leave the scalp or hair feeling heavy.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Softness, smoothness and manageability may be noticeable after the first few uses. Improvements in the appearance of strength, breakage and density require consistent use and vary between individuals.

Hair grows in cycles, so scalp and density-focused routines require patience. Do not discontinue prescribed treatments or delay medical advice in favour of cosmetic products.

Can I use Lushka alongside medicated scalp treatments?

Yes. Lushka can be incorporated into many medicated scalp-care routines to provide additional cosmetic support for scalp hydration, comfort and hair strength.

Some medicated shampoos and pharmaceutical scalp treatments can leave the scalp and hair feeling dry. Lushka's hydrating and conditioning ingredients can help:
- Support the scalp's moisture barrier
- Reduce the feeling of dryness and tightness
- Nourish and condition the hair
- Strengthen fragile strands
- Maintain a healthier-feeling scalp environment

Lushka is intended to complement - not replace - your medicated treatment. Continue using prescribed or pharmacy treatments exactly as directed.

Because every medication is different, check the recommended timing with your pharmacist, GP or dermatologist. They may advise using Lushka after the medicated treatment, at a different time or on separate wash days.

Stop using any product that increases redness, itching, burning or irritation and seek professional advice.
