Because not everything happens in the shower, we take care of our scalp as we would our skin: before, during and after shampooing. The ultimate gestures for a healthy scalp and (even) more beautiful hair!
Focus on skinfication, or the art of treating your hair like your skin
It's the phenomenon that's shaken up the beauty world: hair care is evolving, to the point of emulating skincare essentials. According to a 2023 trends study conducted by the social network Pinterest, Internet user searches related to "dry scalp treatments" have seen a 70% increase. Scalp massage techniques" grew by 55%.
How do you take care of your scalp every day?
The goal: adopt an ultra-personalized routine to meet the needs of every scalp type.
Brush hair with a plastic brush. boar bristles
It's an essential part of daily scalp care. And to make it as effective as it is efficient, replace your plastic brush with a boar brush, like the care brushes in the Altesse Beauté collection. Much gentler and more respectful of the scalp and hair fiber, they stimulate microcirculation, promoting the diffusion of essential nutrients to the hair bulbs.
What's more, the fibrous structure of boar bristles enables natural oils to be captured and optimally distributed from roots to ends, helping to aerate the scalp. Finally, brushing hair with a boar bristles brush helps to eliminate impurities (dead cells, care residues, pollution particles, etc.). A real relief for asphyxiated scalps!
Scrubs, scalp care allies
Just as we would do for our skin, we exfoliate our scalp, preferably before shampooing, to gently rid it of impurities. Once purified, it can better absorb the active ingredients in the treatments and serums it receives. The exfoliation ritual is also an opportunity to enjoy a moment of relaxation, with a soothing or more dynamic massage to stimulate and tone.
The right tempo?
- Once a week for oily scalps
- 2 times a month for dry scalps
- 1 to 2 times a month for sensitive scalps
Apply a serum adapted to your scalp's problems
Soothing, stimulating, refreshing...leave-in serums offer targeted actions for all scalp types. And because it's always better to opt for natural care, you can count on warm essential oils (orange, lavender, etc.) to stimulate and cold essential oils (mint oil, eucalyptus oil, etc.) to soothe the scalp.
Tips: apply serum line by line 1-2 times a week before shampooing, and massage into scalp to boost absorption and stimulate microcirculation. Leave it on for a few minutes beforeshampooing.
Add the right nutrients to your plate
Using the right hair care products is all very well, but the beauty of our mane also depends on what we eat! That's why we opt for nutrients that take care of our scalp from the inside out. On the menu:
- Iron to oxygenate and strengthen the cells involved in hair reproduction (red meat, lentils, beans)
- Vitamin A to stimulate sebaceous glands and prevent dryness (carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach)
- Omega-3s to boost scalp circulation (oily fish, walnuts, flaxseed oil)
