Science-Driven Formulas for Scalp Health and Hair Growth
Maintaining a healthy scalp isn’t just about clean hair – it’s the foundation of stronger, fuller, healthier growth and a critical part of preventing premature hair loss.
But not all shampoos and conditioners are created equal. Many over-the-counter products contain harsh ingredients, alkaline pH levels, or heavy fragrances that can dry out the scalp, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier, leading to inflammation, irritation, and hair shedding. Choosing a slightly acidic shampoo and conditioner should be based on your scalp and hair type (oily, dry, sensitive, straight, curly, etc.), not just fragrance or brand name.
The YAKER Therapeutic Hair Care Line
Dr. Joseph Yaker has developed a medical-grade shampoo and conditioner duo specifically designed to restore the scalp’s natural pH, cleanse deeply, and optimize the environment for healthy hair growth.
Key Product Features:
- Slightly acidic pH shampoo (pH 4.3) and conditioner (pH 4.0)
- Infused with glycolic acid, a clinically proven exfoliant
- Safe for fine, thinning, color-treated, or chemically processed hair
- Designed for daily use
What Makes It Different?
These formulas are engineered to do more than wash and soften hair. They actively work to:
- Rebalance scalp pH for improved barrier function
- Exfoliate dead skin cells and sebum buildup without stripping natural oils
- Support the scalp microbiome and reduce inflammation
- Hydrate dry, itchy, or flaky scalps
- Enhance hair structure and root strength
- Improve body, shine, and volume – even in thinning hair types
By treating both the scalp and hair, these products promote stronger, more durable hair from root to tip.
What Is Glycolic Acid – And Why Is It in a Shampoo?
Glycolic acid is a natural compound derived from sugar cane. It’s widely used in skin care for its gentle but powerful exfoliating abilities. When used on the scalp, glycolic acid helps:
- Break down and remove the buildup of sebum (oil), dirt, bacteria, and dead skin
- Unclog hair follicles, allowing for better product penetration and oxygenation
- Support moisture retention by smoothing and sealing the outer scalp layer
- Restore the ideal slightly acidic pH that keeps the scalp healthy and strong
The YAKER shampoo and conditioner system is more than just hair care – it’s scalp therapy. By combining targeted exfoliation with pH restoration, it helps you build a healthy foundation for thicker, stronger, and longer-lasting hair.
