Haircare: how often should I use it?

In Europe, around 41% of women say they have a sensitive scalp. Are you one of them? If so, did you know that a boar bristle brush could be your best daily ally? Explanations.

What are the signs of a sensitive scalp?

A sensitive scalp can be characterized by the following features:

• painful to touch;
• irritation;
• tingling accompanied by a sensation of heat;
• itching;
• redness;
• sharp pain;
• dryness with flaking and/or dandruff;
• reactions to haircare products and treatments.

Why do I have a sensitive scalp?

The fragility of a sensitive scalp can be explained by excessive stimulation of the nerve cells in the face together with a natural deficiency in sebum production. This hypersensitivity is a permanent and natural feature of certain scalp types. However, it can be aggravated by internal factors (stress, anxiety, etc.) and external factors (environmental pollutants, use of aggressive hair products and accessories, etc.).

The benefits of boar bristle brushes for sensitive scalps

Thanks to the rounded tip of its root, the boar bristle brush first soothes sensitive scalps with its unique massaging action. It also has a gentle ‘scratching’ feature which instantly reduces itchy scalp sensations.

Another plus: this top-of-the-range 100% natural brush stimulates the scalp’s blood circulation. The result: it facilitates the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the hair bulbs. The roots are toned, and growth is naturally stimulated.

Finally, brushing your hair with a boar bristle brush helps to eliminate impurities that have accumulated on the scalp (pollution, dust, pollen, sweat, etc.). As mentioned earlier, these impurities can aggravate scalp sensitivity and cause itching. By getting rid of these irritating external factors, the scalp can breathe once again and its hydrolipidic film be preserved.
