What can you do about a sensitive scalp?
An irritated and itchy scalp can be healed by taking good care of your hair with the right products. The following tips will help you to keep your scalp healthy and to prevent a sensitive scalp.
- The scalp can immediately be irritated by a hot shower. Shower not too hot. It is better to use lukewarm to warm water to prevent irritation.
- Use your hair dryer sparingly. The heat of a hair dryer can cause discomfort. If you are still forced to blow -dry your hair, try to put the hair dryer less hot and try to use it as short as possible.
- Brush carefully and certainly not too often. With an irritated scalp it is best to use a brush made from natural products, such as a brush with brush hairs of real hair.
What should you avoid?
- Sodiumlauryl sulfate (SLS) is added to a lot of shampoos. This medicine is used to make shampoos foam, but this aggressive chemical not only helps to remove dirt from the hair, but also removes the natural oils that help to keep your scalp in balance.
- Silicones are often used in shampoos to keep the hair shafts smooth. Although it is good to keep your hair fluff -free, this sticky substance can linger on the scalp after washing with such a shampoo. When the scalp sweat, bacteria can gather on the scalp and cause annoying itching.
- It is also better to avoid hair products to which alcohol has been added. Alcohol cleans, but also dries out. A scalp that is already dry, irritated and/or red will become even drier, irritated and/or redder due to a hair product to which alcohol has been added.
