Revolutionizing Scalp Health: Bridging Science and Luxury with Oribe Hair Care
As a double board-certified trichologist, I’ve spent years dedicated to understanding the science of hair and scalp health. My passion has always been to help people achieve the healthiest hair possible, but I’ve also long recognized a gap in the beauty industry—one that often forces those struggling with hair thinning and scalp issues to choose between clinical, pharmaceutical-style products and the luxury they desire. That’s why I’m beyond excited to share my latest partnership with Oribe Hair Care, a globally renowned luxury brand trusted by top editorial hairstylists, celebrities, and professionals in high fashion.
This partnership is groundbreaking—not just for me, but for the entire field of trichology. For the first time in the U.S., a trichologist has worked directly with a luxury haircare brand to bring scalp science to the forefront of product development. Together, we’ve created the Serene Scalp Densifying Collection, a line designed to help people achieve thicker, fuller hair while still indulging in the luxurious experience that Oribe is known for.

How This Oribe Hair Care Collaboration Came to Be
My journey with Oribe Hair Care started long before this collaboration. Years ago, when I was a hairstylist in New York City, I had the privilege of briefly working at Oribe Canales’ Fifth Avenue salon. After transitioning into trichology and shifting my focus to scalp health, I remained connected to the brand, often using and recommending their products to clients because of their exceptional quality.
Two years ago, Oribe Hair Care reached out to me with a vision: to create a high-performance product that merges the power of science with the elegance of luxury. They knew that, as a trichologist owning and operating a center in NYC and consulting with leading global brands, I had the expertise to ensure the products weren’t just beautifully crafted but also effective for those struggling with thinning hair.
Introducing the Serene Scalp Densifying Collection
After years of research and formulation, Oribe has officially launched a powerful, three-step regimen designed to help transform the hair from the scalp down:
Serene Scalp Densifying Shampoo: Gently cleanses while strengthening the scalp’s natural environment to promote healthy hair growth.
Serene Scalp Densifying Conditioner: Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, it is designed to reinforce and revitalize fragile strands.
Serene Scalp Densifying Treatment Spray: A targeted formula that promotes thickness and density while supporting overall scalp health.
At the core of these products are three key ingredients that work synergistically to improve hair density:
Capixyl: A biomimetic peptide that nourishes the scalp and fosters an optimal hair-growing environment.
Redensyl: An active ingredient that increases fullness and body in the hair, helping to rejuvenate thinning strands.
Pea Sprout Extract: Known for its ability to replenish brittle hair, increasing density for a thicker, healthier appearance.
And the results speak for themselves. In a 90-day consumer panel test with 100 participants, 85% of users reported noticeable improvement in hair appearance after just one month.

Breaking the Stigma Around Hair Thinning and Scalp Health
One of my biggest missions in this field is to change the conversation around hair thinning and scalp health. For too long, these issues have been overlooked, leaving people feeling embarrassed or isolated. But the truth is, scalp health is just as important as skin care, and it’s time we start treating it that way.
Hair thinning is far more common than most people realize. By age 35, around two-thirds of American men will experience some hair thinning, and by age 50, 30% of women will also experience it. Hair thinning generates over a million searches on the internet every month, highlighting just how many people are actively looking for solutions.
Oribe and I share the same vision—to create products that empower people to take control of their hair without sacrificing luxury. You shouldn’t have to settle for drugstore bottles with clinical branding just because you have scalp concerns. Instead, we’re bringing you something that works while still allowing you to feel pampered and elevated in your haircare routine.

Why Trichology Matters for Hair and Scalp Health
As a trichologist, my work goes far beyond recommending products. At my NYC-based trichology center, I provide in-depth, personalized consultations that help clients understand what’s really going on with their hair and scalp. Using advanced scalp analysis, I assess the root causes of hair thinning, hair loss, and scalp issues—whether they stem from lifestyle, diet, stress, medical conditions, or other factors.
I take a holistic approach, meaning I don’t just treat the symptoms; I address the underlying issues so that clients can achieve long-term results. I offer science-backed answers and real solutions, but I also provide a safe and supportive space to discuss the emotional impact of hair loss. Hair is deeply tied to our confidence, identity, and well-being, and I want to acknowledge that so we can normalize these conversations.

Let’s Elevate Hair Care Practices Together
This is just the beginning. I believe this partnership is a major step toward integrating trichology into mainstream haircare in the U.S., and I’m eager to see how it continues to shape the industry. If you’re a hairstylist, salon professional, or trichologist, I’d love to connect and explore ways to incorporate scalp health into your work. Educating clients about the connection between hair and scalp health is key to providing a truly elevated experience.
If you’re someone struggling with hair thinning or scalp concerns, I invite you to book a consultation at my trichology center. And if you’re looking for a luxurious yet scientifically formulated solution for your hair, you can now purchase the Serene Scalp Densifying Collection directly from me.
Together, let’s redefine haircare—where everyone has access to products and expertise that truly make a difference.
