A sensitive or irritated scalp is one that reacts very strongly to external factors such as stress, irritating products, but also to individual medical conditions (psoriasis, eczema...). These irritations lead to sensations of discomfort, itching, tightness or even burning. In the latter case, don't hesitate to ask your doctor for advice. It's very important to treat your sensitive scalp properly in order to reduce its condition and alleviate its symptoms. Choosing the right products is essential.
Good To Know
To wash your sensitive scalp, it's best to use gentle products that are free from irritants. The PH should be close to that of your scalp. At Yodi, our powder shampoos are 100% natural, sulfate- and silicone-free, and contain gentle cleansing agents.
Whether you opt for the shampoo Gentle Almond Milk - for fine, oily hair or hair lacking volume - or for Nutritive Argan - shampoo for dry, curly or color-treated hair - your scalp will be cleansed and soothed, with the results you're looking for for your hair type! If possible, remember to space out your shampoos to avoid drying out your scalp.
Your scalp's sensitive condition can dry it out, keeping it itchy and irritated. That's why we recommend nourishing your scalp with our Ideal Aloe Argan Mask before shampooing. By leaving it on the scalp for a few minutes, the mask deeply moisturizes and soothes it, thanks to its 70% concentration of organic Aloe Vera juice.
Once the mask has been applied and rinsed off, you can shampoo as normal. This will remove any excess moisture from the mask and lighten your hair. Your scalp is moisturized and soothed, and your hair will be soft and light, whatever its type!
To reduce the discomfort of your sensitive scalp, avoid products rich in sulfates, perfumes or colorants.
We recommend washing your hair in lukewarm or even cold water: heat amplifies irritation and itching, so limit heat sources on your scalp or treatments that are too irritating. Beware of allergenic fragrances containing essential oils. Take a close look at ingredient lists.
Finally, when styling, use soft brushes or wide combs that won't rub your scalp, thus limiting irritation. For this purpose our "Just a brush" brush is your best ally! Guaranteed plastic-free and combining the benefits of natural boar bristles with those of nylon, the brush will gently massage your scalp while detangling your lengths. To avoid pulling on your scalp, start detangling with the ends!
