FAQ
Q1. What is PHS Problem Hair N’ Scalp Shampoo and what does it do?
A: PHS Problem Hair N' Scalp Shampoo is a scalp-focused shampoo that aims to treat dandruff and scalp flaking, relieve dryness, and nourish both the scalp and hair — while also cleansing gently.
Q2. Who should use PHS Shampoo?
A: It’s ideal for clients dealing with dandruff, scalp itchiness or flaking, dry scalp, or scalp sensitivity. It’s also suitable for those with color-treated, permed, or otherwise chemically processed hair, given its gentle and pH-balanced formula.

-
Helps fight dandruff and scalp flaking thanks to the active ingredient Zinc Pyrithione.
-
Nourishes and conditions hair and scalp with a rich crème base and jojoba beads, which helps remove flakes without stripping moisture.

Maintains hair color integrity (sulfate- and paraben-free) — reducing risk of color fade.
-
Gentle enough for everyday use; pH-balanced (around 5.5) to smooth cuticles and boost shine.
-
Scalp-soothing botanicals and moisturizers help hydrate and calm the scalp without leaving it oily or heavy.
Q4. How should a stylist or client use it for best results?
A: Wet hair and scalp thoroughly, apply a generous amount of PHS, massage to create a lather focusing on scalp, then rinse thoroughly. If necessary, repeat. Because it’s gentle and scalp-focused, it can be used regularly — even daily — especially for clients with scalp concerns or who use heavy styling products.
Q5. What kind of results can clients expect?
A: Clients should see reduced scalp flaking and itchiness (dandruff control), a healthier scalp environment, improved scalp comfort, hair that feels clean yet hydrated, with improved manageability, softness and shine. For color-treated hair, it helps maintain color longevity by avoiding harsh sulfates and irritating scalp stress.
Q6. Why should salons or stylists consider offering this shampoo?
A: Because it addresses a common client need — scalp health and dandruff — while also being gentle enough for everyday use and safe for chemically treated hair. Offering PHS gives stylists a reliable scalp-treatment shampoo option, useful for clients with scalp issues, sensitive skin, or color-treated hair needing maintenance. It adds value to salon service menus beyond just cleansing or conditioning.
