SCALP PROBLEMS: CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS
Do you have dandruff or a dry or oily scalp? Is your scalp sensitive or irritated? These symptoms can be seriously uncomfortable and may even influence the quality of your scalp and your hair. If your scalp is dry or oily, your hair probably is too.
Many people attribute their scalp condition to their hair. They buy products for dry or greasy hair, while their scalp condition also matters. The result: the dry or greasy scalp persist and could ultimately lead to hair loss.
Maintaining a healthy scalp is therefore important. Below we briefly explain the most common scalp needs, how to recognize them, and how to support them.
WHAT IS DANDRUFF?
With dandruff you suffer from yellowish, greasy flakes on the scalp. At least half of the people suffer from dandruff at some point. If you have it once, there is a good chance that you will suffer from it more often. Many people confuse dandruff on the scalp with dry scalp. With a dry scalp, the flakes are white in color and a lot finer, they are also not stuck on the scalp as is often the case with dandruff. Dandruff is a harmless, but annoying condition of the scalp that many people suffer from and which unfortunately often returns.
In people who suffer from dandruff, the scalp cells renew too quickly. With a healthy scalp, the skin continuously renews itself, the cells in the skin divide and form a new layer each time. The old cells die and let go. The resulting flakes are not visible to the naked eye. In people with dandruff, the cells of the skin divide twice as fast. These cells stick together and then form flakes that are visible.
Dandruff is easy to remove with our Scalp Support Kit Dandruff: a three-step plan that includes a pre-washing product, a shampoo, and a conditioner. These products penetrate deep into the scalp and target even the most stubborn dandruff.

WHAT IS DRY SCALP?
Does your scalp feel tight, itchy, and dry? Do you see small white flakes? If so, your scalp is probably extremely dry. To determine whether it’s dry scalp or dandruff, have a good look at the flakes. With dry scalp, the flakes are usually small, dry, and white. With dandruff, the flakes are larger, greasier, and whitish-yellow.
Dry scalp can have various causes, with age, hormonal changes, and stress being the most common. Heredity, temperature changes, poor eating habits, and aggressive hair products also influence scalp health. With dry scalp, the skin renewal and shedding process is disrupted, which causes the skin to lose moisture and feel dry.
A dry, itchy scalp is extremely irritating. Fortunately, this can be easily improved with our Scalp Support Kit Dry Scalp: a three-step plan that includes a pre-washing product, a hydrating shampoo, and a moisturizing conditioner that nourishes the scalp.
WHAT IS AN OILY SCALP?
If your hair is greasy or oily, your first instinct is to wash it, right? But what if it gets greasy again right after you wash it? In this case, the problem isn’t oily hair but an oily scalp, which isn’t something you can fix by washing your hair every day. Doing nothing is also not an option: an oily scalp can cause clogged hair follicles and sebum build-up, which increases the risk of hair loss.
An oily scalp can have several causes, ranging from hormonal changes, an unhealthy diet, and stress to heredity and using the wrong haircare products. With an oily scalp, the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, an oily substance that protects against infection and bacteria in normal quantities.
An oily scalp feels uncomfortable and can have serious consequences in the long term. Start improving it right away with our Scalp Support Kit Oily Scalp: a three-step plan that includes a pre-washing product, a shampoo that prevents excessive sebum production, and a nourishing conditioner.
