With the right care, these scalp issues can not only be alleviated but also treated preventively.
Scalp Care Begins with Hair Washing
The basis for a balanced scalp lies in thorough cleansing during hair washing. With the right natural cosmetic shampoo, excess oil, dirt, dead skin cells, and product residues are removed. Product residues on the scalp can clog pores and impair healthy hair growth. When choosing a shampoo, it is important to consider the needs of your scalp and your hair type.
Some shampoos contain soothing ingredients like pink lotus, comfrey root, rose distillate, or calendula, which can help relieve irritation and calm the scalp.
Other shampoos are formulated to retain moisture and support the scalp’s balance. Moisturizing shampoos usually contain ingredients like aloe vera extract or juice, probiotic lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus, D-panthenol (provitamin B5), and peptides like radish root ferment. These natural ingredients soothe dry and itchy scalps.
Regular and gentle scalp massage during shampooing can improve circulation and promote nutrient absorption, leading to a healthier scalp and more beautiful hair.
Detox Shampoos and Scalp Scrubs
Detox shampoos provide a special cleansing boost for the scalp. These are highly concentrated shampoos that thoroughly remove product residues, sebum deposits, dandruff, and dead skin cells from the scalp and should not be used more than once a week.
There are also scalp scrubs, which are applied about once a week before washing and use natural exfoliating components, such as organic cane sugar, sea salt, jojoba scrub granules, or clay, to gently free your scalp from sebum, product residues, and dandruff. These scalp scrubs are usually enriched with extracts like bamboo or green tea and enzymes from pumpkin or AHA fruit extracts, which have a peeling effect due to their fruit acid content.
What Types of Dandruff Are There?
Basically, there are two main types of dandruff: dry dandruff and oily dandruff.
- Dry dandruff occurs when the scalp is too dry and dead skin cells shed faster than usual. This can be caused by factors such as dry air, frequent washing with harsh shampoos, excessive heat from blow-drying, or certain skin conditions like dermatitis. This type of dandruff is usually white, flakes off the scalp on its own, and can accumulate on the shoulders.
- Oily dandruff mainly results from excessive sebum production on the scalp. This overproduction of sebum can be caused by various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, poor diet, or genetic predisposition. Excess sebum can cause dead skin cells to accumulate faster and form dandruff. Oily dandruff is often yellowish and sticky and tends to cling more to the hair and scalp.
Both types of dandruff can be annoying and affect self-confidence. Proper scalp care and using suitable hair care products can help reduce dandruff formation and keep the scalp healthy. However, if symptoms persist despite proper scalp care, it is advisable to consult a doctor.
The Ideal Care for Dandruff and Scalp Problems
Our selection of scalp products such as serums, oils, toners, or scalp scrubs helps gently cleanse flaky scalps, soothe them, and balance sebum production.
Products for oily dandruff contain natural ingredients that regulate sebum production, such as tea tree oil, extracts of meadowsweet, sage, green tea, rosemary, and essential eucalyptus oil. They refresh hair and scalp without drying them out. Natural pumpkin enzymes and fruit acids (AHA) gently dissolve dead skin cells and help with quickly oily, flaky scalps.
For issues like itchy scalp with dry dandruff, it is important to use a mild shampoo that does not contain strong sulfates. Additionally, natural leave-in scalp oils can be an effective solution to soothe your scalp. These special scalp oils are formulated to be non-greasy and contain soothing ingredients like pomegranate seed oil, sesame oil, essential bergamot oil, fo-ti extract, and pumpkin seed oil. They provide moisture and combat dandruff formation.
Conditioners and Hair Masks for the Scalp
There are conditioners and hair masks that can be applied directly to the scalp. They are usually applied before washing and rinsed out after a short application time, although some scalp hair masks can also be left on overnight. Besides nourishing active ingredients, they usually contain ingredients like clay or charcoal powder, which absorb impurities on the scalp and residues from styling products, allowing the hair a “reset.” After rinsing out these conditioners and hair masks, it is important to wash your hair with shampoo and follow up with conditioner.
Oiling the Scalp as Special Care Before Washing
As an alternative to scalp conditioners and hair masks, you can also apply a natural oil about once a week before washing and gently massage it into your scalp with your fingers or a wooden brush. Then leave the oil on for as long as you like — a few minutes, several hours, or even overnight. Afterward, shampoo your hair as usual and use a conditioner.
Especially suitable ingredients for scalp oils to be rinsed out are hemp seed, baobab, jojoba, castor, or argan oil. Essential oils from rosemary, peppermint, citrus fruits, or lavender and extracts from red clover, saw palmetto fruit, calendula, and fenugreek herb in scalp oils promote circulation and can, especially combined with a scalp massage, combat hair loss and stimulate hair growth.
Leave-In Scalp Care – The Right Active Ingredients for Every Hair Type
Scalp care that is not rinsed out comes in the form of light serums, refreshing toners, or leave-in oils. Depending on the formulation and combination of active ingredients, there is the right leave-in scalp care for every hair type.
Especially for itchy, dry, and flaky scalp, natural cosmetic leave-in scalp oils can provide relief. These products for stressed scalps are specially formulated to be non-greasy and soothe with pomegranate seed oil, sesame oil, essential bergamot oil, fo-ti extract, and pumpkin seed oil. These ingredients provide moisture and counteract dandruff formation. Especially in the winter months, when the scalp dries out more, it is advisable to regularly apply special scalp care.
For fast-oiling hair, scalp serums and toners are recommended. Their light formulation does not weigh hair down, gently refreshes, and balances the scalp’s pH. Good ingredients for scalp care of fast-oiling hair are witch hazel extract, chlorophyll, meadowsweet, wintergreen, and tamarind. These active ingredients have antioxidant and sebum-reducing properties, making them ideal components of leave-in scalp care for fast-oiling hair.
Wavy or curly hair is often dry and prone to frizz — leave-in scalp products can also offer a solution here. Curly and wavy hair needs rich oils like avocado, evening primrose, baobab, flaxseed, or moringa oil, which form a protective layer around each hair strand to prevent moisture loss. Additionally, lecithin, usually derived from soybeans, deeply moisturizes curly and wavy hair and can help smooth the outer hair layer, adding shine and softness while reducing frizz.
Fine hair prone to hair loss especially benefits from ingredients that stimulate circulation and strengthen hair roots. Extracts from chamomile flowers, horsetail, caffeine, turmeric root, red ginseng, guayusa, and ginkgo biloba, as well as essential oils from peppermint, lavender, and rosemary, are rich in antioxidants, promote circulation, and can stimulate cell growth in hair roots.
