The impact Helena Christensen has had on the fashion and beauty industry is undeniable. The 55-year-old boasts a diverse array of roles on her resume, from being one of the most iconic “OG” supermodels to serving as the creative director for Nylon. Recently, she added yet another achievement to her lengthy list: partnering with the Scandinavian scalp care brand Hårklinikken as a brand ambassador. Christensen, who has been using the brand’s products since 2020, calls it one of her “favorite hair health brands.”
For those new to the brand, prospective customers take a quick assessment about hair loss, scalp concerns, and their overall hair health. The brand then creates custom formulations to match their unique needs. Why is this important? “We generally only think about how our hair looks, without realizing that the health of your hair is what will actually make it look and feel its best, which is why Hårklinikken has been such a game-changer for me,” said Christensen. Ahead, we break down our full conversation with her about her hair philosophy, current regimen, and more.
What prompted your decision to prioritize scalp health?
“My decision to prioritize scalp health stemmed from recognizing its fundamental role in achieving stronger, fuller, and healthier hair. Just as skin care is essential for maintaining a healthy complexion, scalp care is for hair health. Hårklinikken’s approach caught my attention with their natural, botanical ingredients and I have first-hand seen the transformative effects of these products on my own hair.”
How does your hair philosophy align with your overall beauty philosophy?
“For me, beauty is about embracing and enhancing natural features, and this extends to hair care. I believe in nurturing hair from the roots to achieve long-term vitality and radiance. Just as we prioritize skincare to maintain a healthy complexion, prioritizing scalp health is essential for healthy hair. Hårklinikken’s approach resonates deeply with my beauty philosophy, emphasizing the importance of natural ingredients and personalized solutions. By focusing on scalp health and using products that work in harmony with the body, we can achieve not just superficial beauty, but genuine, sustainable wellness from within.”
What’s your current hair care routine?
“I use Hårklinikken’s Balancing Shampoo, which cleanses my scalp without stripping it of its natural oils, then follow up with the Daily Conditioner which keeps my hair hydrated and gives it a lovely silky feel. A few times a week I also use the Weightless Conditioner for added nourishment without weighing my hair down. The cornerstone of my routine is the Hair Gain Extract, applied directly to the scalp to promote stronger, fuller, healthier hair. Consistency is key, and these products have become essential in my hair care routine.”
