hair follicles, blood vessels, sebaceous glands, immune cells and a
active microbial community. This environment directly influences how the

hair growth?

A healthy follicular environment depends on several key factors:

The scalp is home to up to 25% of the total skin microbiota.
diverse and balanced microbiota:

• Promotes cell renewal.

Regulated sebum production

cutaneous flora, promoting the appearance of dandruff or dermatitis.

Acidic pH (between 4.5 and 5.5)

This range favors the balance of the microbiome, the integrity of the stratum corneum and the
protection against external agents.

Absence of inflammation

Inflammation, even at low and persistent levels, can disrupt the cycle of
hair growth and accelerate hair loss.

Factors such as stress, pollution, the use of aggressive cosmetics or
Hormonal imbalances can alter this environment and generate visible signs of
imbalance.

How to identify an altered scalp?

major imbalances . Some common signs are:

How to properly apply hair cosmetics to care for your scalp

The way we apply hair products directly influences their effectiveness and the health of our scalp. Improper use can contribute to irritation, imbalances, and unnecessary itching.

Recommendations for optimal application:

1. Always emulsify the product in the palm of your hand before applying . This facilitates foam formation and allows for even distribution on the scalp, promoting thorough rinsing and avoiding residues that could irritate or alter the pH.
2. Apply with gentle, directed, and controlled movements . The massage should be deliberate and gentle, avoiding mechanical overstimulation or irregular friction that compromises the integrity of the scalp. The goal is to stimulate microcirculation, promoting oxygenation of the follicles and healthy hair growth, without causing inflammation or alterations to the pilosebaceous system.
3. Respect the hair care maxim : "less is more." The scalp, due to its anatomical configuration, its occluded status, and its warm, humid microenvironment, is especially susceptible to imbalances if products are not applied correctly.
