Why I created Crimson & Amber Scalp + Hair Oil, a two in one Scalp and Hair Oil, After experiencing hormonal hair thinning myself

For years, I helped women transform their hair behind the chair as a hairstylist. But eventually, I found myself dealing with something deeply personal: hormonal hair thinning.

As I entered my mid 40s and started experiencing hormonal changes, I noticed my own hair becoming thinner, flatter, and more fragile. My scalp felt unhealthy, my hair lacked fullness, and I realized something important:

Healthy hair starts with the scalp.

Like many women, I had spent years focusing only on my hair itself, the color, the shine, the styling products, while completely ignoring scalp health.

That realization changed everything.

My Journey Into Scalp Care

As a certified hair loss practitioner, I began researching scalp health, scalp oiling, hair thinning in women, and how inflammation, buildup, dryness, and hormonal shifts can affect the scalp environment.

I started implementing a more intentional scalp care routine:

washing my hair more consistently
scalp massage
nourishing botanical oils
supporting scalp hydration
focusing on overall scalp wellness

Over time, I began noticing healthier looking hair, less breakage, improved shine, and visible new growth.

That’s when the idea for Crimson & Amber Scalp + Hair Oil was born.

Why Scalp Health Matters for Hair Growth

Many people focus only on the hair strands themselves, but the scalp plays a huge role in healthy hair growth.

An unhealthy scalp can become:

dry
irritated
congested with buildup
unbalanced from overwashing or underwashing
stressed from hormonal changes

When the scalp environment is neglected, hair can appear thinner, weaker, duller, and less healthy overall.

That’s why scalp care has become such an important part of modern hair wellness routines.

What Makes Crimson & Amber Different

I wanted to create a luxurious scalp and hair oil that supported both scalp wellness and healthy looking hair without feeling heavy or greasy.

Crimson & Amber Scalp + Hair Oil is formulated with botanical ingredients traditionally used in scalp and hair rituals, including:

rosemary & peppermint
castor oil & rosehip seed oil
pumpkin seed oil & jojoba oil
saw palmetto & fenugreek
nettle & calendula
horsetail, rose, lavender

The goal was never to create a “miracle overnight fix.”

The goal was to create a supportive scalp ritual women could actually stay consistent with.

Because consistency matters.

My Philosophy on Hair Wellness

I believe healthy hair is about more than appearance.

Hair is deeply connected to confidence, hormones, stress, self care, and overall wellness. Many women silently struggle with hair thinning, postpartum shedding, stress-related shedding, or hormonal changes and feel completely alone in the process.

I created YS Beauty Apothecary to offer products that feel intentional, grounding, and supportive during those seasons.

Not perfection.
Not unrealistic promises.
Just consistent care rooted in scalp wellness.

How I Use Crimson & Amber

I personally use Crimson & Amber Scalp + Hair Oil as part of my weekly scalp ritual.

I apply a full dropper of oil directly to my scalp, gently massage it in, and allow the botanical oils to nourish the scalp before washing. I also use a small amount through my mids and ends to help smooth frizz and add softness and shine. I do this 2 to 3 times a week.

The ritual itself has become something I genuinely look forward to.

Final Thoughts

If you’re struggling with hormonal hair thinning, postpartum shedding, dryness, or simply want healthier-looking hair, don’t ignore your scalp.

Sometimes the foundation matters more than we realize.

Scalp care is not just a trend for me, it became personal.

And Crimson & Amber was created from that personal journey.
