Charcoal lifts away flakes and grime, proteins strengthen your hair.
Scalp flakes are often just the result of dryness and shampoos that are too harsh. So the answer isn’t stronger cleansing, it’s gentler cleansing. Activated charcoal works like a magnet: it pulls in flakes, excess oil and dirt, and the water rinses it all away. Meanwhile, hydrolyzed proteins settle into your hair, fill in damaged spots and make each strand stronger.
When your scalp is dry, the top layer sheds in visible flakes. The itch makes you scratch, and the cycle starts over.
Charcoal particles bind to flakes and dirt and carry them off your scalp. Proteins bind to your hair, filling it in and making it stronger.
Simplified illustration of how it works.
When it’s the right pick
A dark shampoo that won’t stain your hair.
This thick, dark gray shampoo doesn’t leave color behind and doesn’t weigh your hair down. There are no silicones to fake smoothness either, just proteins that make your hair stronger.
How to use it
Not to your hair, to your scalp. That’s where the problem starts.
Use your fingertips, not your nails. That short pause is what counts.
Repeat if needed. Most people don’t need conditioner.
Skin conditions are serious! Chicatella is skin care, not medicine. If you’re unsure or things get worse, see a dermatologist.
