Hello #BigFamily! As we well know, the search for the right products for your hair type is often a difficult journey; we often have to test several before finding those best suited to our needs. Because just like the skin, the scalp also needs to be treated with specific products that respect the hair structure and cutaneous pH. Curly hair, for example, requires products that do not frizz or stiffen the hair, while those suffering from an oily scalp need to use sebum-regulating products to treat their hair. For those with dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis problems, however, it is essential to find soothing products for the skin and scalp that can alleviate the sensation of itching and the formation of redness, while deeply purifying the skin.
In particular, those who fall into this last category and need to treat a particularly sensitive scalp must adopt precise measures to restore its physiological balance. Let's look together at what the remedies are for treating a sensitive scalp and dermatitis problems!
How to treat a sensitive scalp and dermatitis problems
If you suffer from sensitive skin or a sensitive scalp, the first step is certainly to eliminate from your beauty routine all the causes that could irritate them further.
In the case of a sensitive scalp:
- avoid using hair products that are too aggressive; prefer more natural options with soothing and emollient ingredients
- avoid washing your hair too frequently, at most 3 times a week, so as to keep it clean without stressing it excessively
- try not to stress your hair with hot styling tools, such as straighteners and hairdryers, keeping the hairdryer at an ideal distance of 15 cm from the scalp and at a medium temperature, so as not to burn the hair root. Occasionally opt for natural air drying when temperatures permit; otherwise, keep the hairdryer at a distance and at a lower temperature
- protect your hair from UV rays with protective treatments, or wear a hat when you are exposed to the sun for long periods; do not keep your hair tied up too often
- adopt a healthy and balanced diet, with well-balanced meals. A lack of the right amount of proteins, trace elements, lipids, amino acids, water, and vitamins can cause weakness, lack of hydration, and loss of hair elasticity, as well as exacerbate scalp anomalies
- regularly massage the scalp to stimulate blood circulation and make your hair grow stronger. The massage should be performed with gentle, circular movements, avoiding excessive friction
Once all incorrect practices have been eliminated, you can start your haircare routine with products specific for a sensitive scalp, so that your hair can take root in healthy skin.
In the case of dermatitis or scalp problems:
If you suspect you suffer from any condition related to the scalp, such as seborrheic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, or scalp psoriasis, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist in order to receive the most appropriate indications for your skin. Generally speaking:
- wash your hair with a certain frequency, without exceeding 3 washes per week: cleansing, in fact, combats seborrheic dermatitis
- use specific products for hair with scalp problems and shampoos for seborrheic dermatitis recommended by a specialist, such as those based on lactic acid or salicylic acid to promote the elimination of scales, or containing antifungal agents to keep the proliferation of Malassezia yeast under control
- alternate medical treatments with delicate shampoos for frequent washes during periods of remission. Products containing chamomile, calendula, licorice, green tea, or other soothing agents are ideal for gently cleansing the skin and hair without stressing them too much
- prioritize a healthy diet based on fresh fruit and vegetables to promote skin hydration, and foods based on vitamin H or biotin (such as dried fruit, dairy products, cereals) to reduce skin inflammatory states
- expose yourself to sunlight with the right precautions; avoid the hottest hours and protect your skin with protective sunscreens for skin and hair. UV rays promote the drying of scales with a reduction in redness and itching.
