Magnesium & Hair Health: The Missing Step in Your Routine

Most people think of magnesium as a mineral for relaxation, sleep, or sore muscles but this essential mineral plays a far bigger role in your beauty routine than you might expect.
Magnesium supports over 600 processes in the body including protein synthesis, cellular repair, and circulation all of which directly influence your scalp and hair health.

If your scalp feels dry, tight, or congested, or your hair looks dull, thin, or lifeless, it may be your sign that your routine is missing magnesium.

Why Your Hair Needs Magnesium

Your hair is made of protein (keratin), and magnesium helps your follicles produce and repair it efficiently.
When your body is low in magnesium, it can slow down hair growth, weaken follicle function, and lead to increased shedding or breakage.
This mineral fuels your follicles with the energy and nutrients they need to grow strong, resilient strands from the inside out.

The Benefits of Magnesium for Scalp & Hair

For the Scalp — The Foundation of Healthy Hair

Balances oil production to keep roots fresh and prevent buildup.
Detoxifies and unclogs pores, creating the ideal environment for growth.
Calms irritation and inflammation for a more comfortable, soothed scalp.
Boosts circulation, improving nutrient delivery to hair follicles.
Prevents calcium buildup, which can block follicles and hinder new growth.

For the Hair — Strength, Shine, and Resilience

Supports keratin formation, helping strands grow stronger and smoother.
Reduces breakage by protecting against oxidative stress and mineral imbalance.
Improves elasticity and texture, leaving hair softer and more manageable.
Restores natural shine by keeping the scalp balanced and nourished.

The Behrhaus Duo: Magnesium Scalp Scrub + Magnesium Oil

Together, our Magnesium Scalp Scrub and Magnesium Oil deliver a complete scalp-to-strand mineral reset. Each product enhances the absorption of the other, helping to clear buildup, soothe irritation, and restore the vital minerals your follicles crave.

Step 1: Detox & Stimulate

Start with the Magnesium Scalp Scrub on dry hair.
Massage into your scalp using gentle circular motions with your fingertips or a scalp massager.
Leave on for 3–5 minutes to dissolve buildup, stimulate circulation, and allow magnesium to calm inflammation.
Rinse thoroughly and shampoo as usual. Use 1–2 times per week.

Step 2: Replenish & Strengthen

Put Magnesium Oil and massage directly onto the scalp and roots.
Let it absorb for 20–30 minutes (or overnight for deeper replenishment).
This step delivers pure Zechstein magnesium soothing tension, restoring balance, and strengthening follicles for healthier regrowth.

What to Expect

A cleaner, calmer scalp with less irritation
Reduced buildup and flaking
Less shedding and stronger roots
Softer, shinier, and more resilient hair

Strong, healthy hair starts at the root and Magnesium helps bring it back to balance.
