The face – and hair – of CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™, Heidi Klum, rallied women at The Grove in Los Angeles, and across America, and invited them to join her and work at the right end of hair – the scalp. For years, women have been working at the ends of hair, rather than the foundation. Ninety-nine percent of hair’s natural strength and beauty comes from the scalp; CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ nourishes the scalp and creates the right foundation for strong, beautiful hair from root to tip. In an effort to spread the message of working at the right end of hair, CLEAR SCALP & HAIR BEAUTY THERAPY™ is calling attention to the “Right End” Hair Revolution – a movement that began last spring and is inspiring women to adopt a haircare regimen that starts with scalp nourishment.
