First, know that the scalp has the same dermatological structure as the rest of your skin! Indeed, although it is too often neglected, the scalp requires the same attention as the rest of the body (exfoliation, hydration, etc.). But what happens when we do not properly care for our precious scalp? Well, several types of discomfort can then occur…
• Itching and micro-inflammations
• Dandruff
• Redness
• And more
These various hair problems can result from many factors including stress, hormonal changes, medications, pollution, ingredients in certain products, temperature changes, etc. To prevent or heal scalp discomfort, it is recommended to use gentle and suitable products that will be able to restore the balance and hydration level of the epidermis of your head.
Dry scalp can be treated with a shampoo, a treatment, or even an oil. A care product specifically designed for this issue will be able to soothe the epidermis of your head, regardless of whether your main discomfort takes the form of itching, inflammation, dandruff, redness, or all of these combined. To definitively combat the dryness of your scalp and its unpleasant effects, here are some of our must-have products:

1. Scratching
We know that the back of your head itches intensely, however, scratching will only worsen the problem. Indeed, you risk creating lesions that will be even more painful. It’s not easy, but you must refrain from scratching your scalp!
2. Not adapting or modifying your routine
Just like our skin, our hair is sensitive to temperature drops. Cold weakens the hair fiber, and wearing hats and beanies sensitizes the scalp. That’s why, as soon as the first flakes fall, you should opt for more hydrating hair care.
3. Neglecting the use of oils for the scalp
Including a moisturizing and soothing oil or serum is one of the best ways to restore balance to the scalp. By hydrating the scalp this way, excessive itching and the appearance of dandruff can be avoided.
4. Covering your head for too long
Wearing a hat or beanie should be limited to outdoor outings. Indeed, when covered, the scalp sweats and does not breathe properly, which can lead to blocked hair follicles and create an imbalance of the scalp’s natural oils.
