Sensitive & irritated scalp ritual

Irritated and itchy scalp: causes and solutions

Itchy scalp and irritation are common problems that affect 1 in 3 people. The main causes are:

• Imbalance in the skin microbiome: the natural flora of the scalp is disrupted
  
• Sensitive scalp: overly harsh shampoos (sulfates), pollution, hard water
  
• Dehydration: lack of deep hydration → dryness, tightness, itching
  
• Chronic inflammation: stress, fatigue, hormonal fluctuations
  
• Reactions to hair products: silicone residues, drying alcohols

To permanently soothe an irritated scalp, you need to:

• Soothe inflammation immediately
  
• Rebalancing the skin microbiome
  
• Deeply moisturize without weighing down the skin
  
• Strengthen the natural protective barrier

This ritual was designed as a three-month soothing and regenerating program to calm irritation, deeply moisturize, and rebalance sensitive scalps. The goal: to restore comfort and vitality to the roots while restoring suppleness and shine to the hair.

▪️ Step 1 – Cleanse and soothe with Shampoo

Take a small amount of Madame d'Alexis Moisturizing Shampoo and apply it to damp scalp. Gently massage with your fingertips, using small circular movements for 2 minutes to stimulate microcirculation without causing irritation. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Recommended frequency: 2 to 3 washes per week, depending on your needs.

Tip: use your fingertips to massage and avoid your nails, which can cause irritation. Use lukewarm rather than hot water to preserve the scalp's protective barrier.


▪️ Step 2 – Repair and rebalance with Night Serum

Apply 4 to 5 drops directly to the scalp every evening before bedtime. Distribute strand by strand, then massage gently for 2 minutes to promote penetration of the active ingredients and reactivate microcirculation.

Recommended treatment: use daily for 3 months for a lasting effect and a visible reduction in irritation.

Tip: always apply to a dry scalp for better absorption. Evening massage not only optimizes soothing but also regulates sebum.

▪️ Additional recommendations for a soothed scalp

▪️ Avoid excessively hot water: it accentuates dryness and irritates the scalp.

▪️ Opt for loose hairstyles and avoid tight ties that weaken the roots.

▪️ Brush gently, starting at the ends to distribute natural oils without weighing down the roots.

▪️ Include foods rich in omega-3 (salmon, walnuts, flax seeds) and B vitamins in your diet to support scalp and hair health.
