Shelley's Story | ModYu

At ModYu, everything starts with the scalp.

Balance Shampoo was originally developed as the first stage of our HT4 System, created to prepare and optimise the scalp for hair transplant procedures. Because this stage is all about restoring the scalp’s natural microbiome and creating the ideal foundation for healthy hair growth, it has to work exceptionally well.

What we discovered is that this same biome-balancing approach benefits far more than just transplant patients. When the scalp is properly prepared and supported, irritation, flaking and inflammation often begin to settle, which is why Balance is now available as a standalone shampoo.

For Shelley, it made all the difference.

“I suffered from seborrheic dermatitis as a child and recently experienced a flare-up that I just couldn’t shift with the usual over-the-counter medicated shampoos. It was really getting me down due to the itchiness and the flaky scalp so I asked Ann Marie for some advice and she kindly let me trial the Balance Shampoo.

After approximately five or six washes the flare-up completely disappeared and has not returned. I didn’t expect the shampoo to work so quickly so I’m delighted!”

Shelley’s experience highlights exactly what Balance was designed to do: gently cleanse, calm irritation and help restore a healthy scalp environment. While it was created to prepare the scalp for clinical procedures, its ability to support the scalp biome means it works beautifully for everyday concerns too.

If you’re struggling with persistent flakes, itchiness or scalp discomfort, Balance may be the reset your scalp has been waiting for.
