Summary of the issue

A caring plan to naturally purify the scalp

Pollution and/or tobacco suffocate the scalp, thus impacting hair health. Just like the rest of the body, the scalp also needs a regular pamper to replenish itself and keep it looking its best.

How to know when the scalp is in need of being purified

Your scalp is the living part of your hair. Sometimes it can show signs of fatigue, particularly due to pollution. The solution? An anti-pollution routine.

A scalp that has been over exposed to pullution can manifest in a number of ways: too oily or too dry, irritated or itchy... all these are signs of an unbalanced scalp. Another sign is that your hair appears dull, lacklustre, heavy, hard to detangle or tangles no matter the intensity and regularity of washes. Sometimes you may feel that your hair smells unpleasant too. If you can relate, your hair is in need of a “fresh start”. Just like your skin, a caring routine is a good solution to cleanse and purify your scalp and hair with products containing naturally-derived ingredients. 

What causes the scalp to “clog up”?

The scalp acts as a protective shield. It thus is exposed to the full force of daily external aggressions, and even though this is its role, this sensitive area needs to be taken care of.

The environment almost all of us live in, in addition to a few bad habits, impact our scalp’s balance. Temperature, humidity, UV rays, pollution, smoking, new shampoos, hair dyes... these are all elements that can affect it day after day. It is therefore essential to rid the scalp of anything that can cause oiliness, dryness, itching and irritation. Cleansed and purified, the scalp can do its best at acting as a protective shield for the hair.

When should I give my scalp a purifying pamper?

Ideally, an anti-pollution routine should accompany all the important moments in your hair's life: before or after colouring to eliminate any pigment residue, after the summer when it has suffered the aggression of the chlorine + salt water + UV combo, on a daily basis if you live in the city and your hair is exposed to pollution every day, or even during periods of stress. If the changing seasons are conducive to a “ general pamper” of the body, it is up to you to feel when your hair and scalp need one. Our recommendation: an anti-pollution product once a month for dry scalps and twice for oily scalps.
There are two ways to do it: as a weekly haircare treatment incorporated into your routine all year round or in a more occasional manner, in the form of a haircare treatment during an entire week.
