Le dry scalp Dryness is a common problem that can cause discomfort, itching, and dull or brittle hair. When it lacks moisture and lipids, it becomes fragile, tight, and difficult to style. However, few people know how to effectively soothe this dryness. It is essential to understand its causes, its protective mechanisms, and to adopt appropriate care to restore a healthy scalp and shiny hair.
Recognizing a very dry scalp
Un very dry scalp manifests itself as a feeling of tightness, tight skin, and sometimes itching. The hair becomes coarse, brittle, and has a dull, straw-like appearance.
Dryness can be caused by insufficient sebum production, harsh chemical treatments, or environmental stressors such as sun, wind, or pollution. Unlike oily scalps or those with dandruff, this condition is often perceived as a cosmetic and uncomfortable problem rather than a serious condition.
The main causes of dry scalp
Internal causes include insufficient sebum production, often linked to weak sebaceous glands or age, as well as poor cell renewal.
External causes are more common:
- excessive use of chemical products (colorings, bleachings, perms);
- washing too frequently or with hot water;
- mechanical trauma (violent brushing, hot hair dryer);
- prolonged exposure to sun, wind or pollution.
These factors weaken the scalp's protective barrier and promote loss of moisture.
How to nourish and repair a dry scalp?
To relieve a very dry scalp, it is advisable to use products rich in lipids, ceramides and sterols. These active ingredients strengthen the skin barrier, prevent water evaporation and promote the repair of the protective layer.
It's recommended to opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and regularly apply nourishing masks or serums. These treatments must penetrate deeply to restore cell cohesion and firm the hair fiber.
Finally, it's important to limit the use of chemical treatments, favor washing with lukewarm water, and protect your head from external aggressions with a head covering or protective products. By adopting these good practices, it's possible to regain a comfortable scalp and stronger, shinier, and easier-to-style hair.
