Sensitive Scalp

Sensitive scalp is expressed in various symptoms. Burning or tingling, itching, redness, flaking or a feeling of tightness on the scalp can be signs of a sensitive scalp. The various triggers are just as varied as the symptoms, which range from stress to allergies to an unbalanced diet. Acute complaints should be discussed with the dermatologist.

Blow-dry your hair only lukewarm - excessive heat irritates the scalp and dries it out. Wash the shampoo and conditioner very carefully so that they don't put too much strain on your sensitive scalp after shampooing.

You also have to be particularly careful when choosing the brush. Metal or plastic bristles can also irritate your scalp. A little tip for the next brush purchase: Pull the brush carefully over the back of your hand. If it scratches too much, it won't be good for your scalp either. Brushes with soft, rounded bristles or bristles with round knobs on the front are better.

You should also avoid excessive pressure when combing so that the already sensitive scalp is not irritated or damaged. You shouldn't use too many care products either. A mild shampoo every two to three days should be enough.
