Causes of sensitive, dry scalp

The reasons and causes are very wide-ranging. From the wrong shampoo and a predisposition to dry scalp to an unbalanced diet, allergies, neurodermatitis, hormonal changes, climatic conditions, environmental influences or enormous stress - if you suffer from sensitive scalp, you should definitely consider all factors holistically in order to get to the bottom of the cause of your painful scalp.

Sensitive scalps that are not treated appropriately can develop visible dandruff or micro-inflammation. As the skin's natural protective acid mantle is disrupted, the skin cells react very sensitively to external influences. The cornea becomes more permeable and more and more environmental influences penetrate the scalp. Harmful substances can no longer be fended off. However, an internal imbalance can also lead to a burning, itchy scalp. The intense itching and the associated urge to scratch incessantly leads to new injuries. A vicious circle. If you suffer from sensitive scalp, you should take countermeasures quickly.

What to do if you have a sensitive, dry scalp?

When choosing your hair care products, look out for Mild shampoos that are recommended for daily cleansing. These shampoos contain only mild surfactants. The skin's natural protective layer and acid mantle are not damaged too much, while the active care ingredients soothe the skin and ensure that the skin's natural functions are supported. Mild shampoos for sensitive scalps contain important lipid-replenishing substances, among other things, which ensure that the skin regains its balance. Panthenol is responsible for binding and retaining moisture. Shampoos with the body's own pH value of 5.5 are particularly gentle on the skin and hair. Active ingredients containing zinc or tea tree oil are effective against skin fungus. Do not wash your hair every day, every 2-3 days is sufficient. In the meantime, the skin can regenerate and sebum production can provide the important nourishment for the hair roots within normal limits.
