Everything You Need To Know About Dr. Barbara Sturm’s New Haircare Collection

Dr. Barbara Sturm’s skincare is already a global bestseller, so now she is taking her same gold-standard formulations and applying them to haircare, too. And it makes sense: after all, skin starts at the scalp, so by applying the same scientific ingredients to bolster the health of our scalp, hair will follow suit and be stronger, healthier and, in many cases, grow faster. The Molecular Hair & Scalp Collection is free from sulfates, silicones, PEGs, microplastics, fragrance and other irritants, which is not only good for the environment, but also eliminates these potential causes of inflammation for healthier hair and more robust growth.

So, where to start? Many of us are familiar with a misbehaving scalp – chemical treatments, styling, stress and even our diets can make skin sensitive, dehydrated, tight and uncomfortable, but Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Scalp Serum is an excellent soother to restore balance. Massaging this nourishing formula in weekly helps to boost hydration which, in turn, reduces that uncomfortable tight and itchy feeling many of us experience. In fact, this serum is a favorite for targeting tightness because it uses hyaluronic acid to hydrate the hair and scalp simultaneously – just massage a few drops in while your hair is dry and leave it overnight for best results. Meanwhile, if you need a serum to combat a more specific concern, the Anti-Hair Fall Scalp Serum and the Super Anti-Aging Hair & Scalp Serum make for great additions to your haircare regime. Both work double duty to reduce irritation, quickly restoring strength and shine in the process. Use the pipette to apply it directly to your scalp every night.

We often forget that the most critical product when styling hair is the shampoo, which impacts texture, color and responsiveness. It’s impossible to achieve a great style – like a voluminous blowout or glossy ‘glass hair’ – when you start with a shampoo that leaves behind residues that mess with styling results. The good news is that Dr. Barbara Sturm has a shampoo to suit all hair types and issues. From her Super Anti-Aging Shampoo, which contains gentle ingredients such as oat and purslane to gently remove embedded products and give the scalp a proper cleanse, to her Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo, which (as the name suggests) is a great option for those looking to boost growth. Extracts of camellia, larch and vitamin B5 work in tandem to nourish the hair follicle, resulting in stronger strands and less fall – plus, it won’t strip your color. For those who need a shampoo that works hard on soothing the scalp, the Balancing Shampoo should be your go-to – brown and green algae work alongside lavender to calm redness, flakiness and itching. But it also goes beyond just being a simple soother, protecting hair against heat, pollution, particles and UV stress, too.

The rich texture of the Hydrating Conditioner makes this product a real treat to use – and the ingredients more than measure up. Nutrient-rich hyaluronic acid and organic shea butter absorb into the hair shaft providing deep rehydration, while the added extracts of sunflower and tara also help to protect against heat, UV stress and color fade. For something extra-nourishing, the Repair Hair Mask is a great antidote for parched, damaged ends. Comprising a special complex of algaes, lavender and vitamin B, this luxe formula instantly moisturizes hair, leaving it more manageable with a silk-like gloss – just massage it into wet locks post-shampoo, leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse. Now it’s easy to achieve a good hair day, every day.
