WHAT DOES "SCALP CARE" MEAN?
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Scalp care is the care that, when washing the hair and other hair care, also cares for the area in which the hair develops. The scalp with the hair follicle and hair roots, small and very complex hair production factories. The hair follicle with the hair root consists of three layers with complicated anatomical structures that are supplied with nutrients from the scalp via the surrounding connective tissue. When the hair grows out through the opening in the hair funnel, it is given nourishing fats, moisture, fragrances and color pigments from the scalp. The stronger and healthier the scalp is, the better it can supply the hair with all of these substances throughout its entire lifespan of up to 6 years.
You clean and care for this scalp with your hair care products. This is why the supply there can also be disrupted by the wrong care products: critical chemical ingredients can penetrate the hair root via the supply channels and reach the scalp via the surrounding connective tissue layer. The irritating ingredients then not only disrupt the supply, but can also damage the scalp to such an extent that it reacts with dandruff or even hair loss.
You won't find such harmful ingredients at MeMademoiselle: The MeMademoiselle care series originate from a family business that is over 80 years old and started with healthy herbal hair care for healthy hair.
During this time, we have always kept up with scientific progress, but have also always avoided any critical chemicals – because the care products work better without such ingredients anyway.
If your scalp has been stressed by external influences, only care products with completely natural ingredients can provide lasting improvement. Only these can regenerate hair and scalp in depth. While "silicone plasters", for example, weigh down the hair and scalp even more.
If your hair and scalp are completely healthy and without any weaknesses, you will find the care products in our shop that will ensure that it always stays that way.
In the next paragraph, you will find out what you need to consider when choosing the right care for your hair and scalp and what else you can do to benefit your scalp.
HOW DOES GOOD SCALP CARE WORK?
Maintaining a normal, healthy scalp from which normal, healthy hair grows is very simple:
Hair and scalp are cleaned regularly – but at appropriate intervals, because washing too often attacks the skin’s protective layer.
The hair is brushed daily to remove loose dirt and dust and to keep the hair supple by distributing the natural sebum.
The scalp should always be brushed as well: This is where the sebum distribution begins, dead skin cells are removed, and blood circulation is thoroughly stimulated.
Of course, this good scalp care only works with care products that provide the best care for your scalp without putting strain on it or irritating it. Such as our Chic series, which nourishes, pampers and cares for normal hair and healthy scalps with strengthening keratin, moisturizing aloe vera and panthenol as well as balancing hibiscus extract.
This combination of active ingredients also provides dry hair with enough moisture to make it supple, smooth and shiny. You can (and should) also use the Chic products for preventative scalp care. Your dry hair is too dry because it doesn't get enough moisture from your scalp, which is also too dry. If you massage a little Chic shampoo into your scalp every time you wash your hair and let it work for a short time, you will also provide your scalp with plenty of nourishing moisture. Then use the Chic conditioner, which uses keratin, panthenol, valuable apricot kernel oil and aloe vera to keep your dry hair healthy and shiny.
But scalp care when washing hair forms the basis for regeneration if you have a tendency to dryness, because the dryness comes from the scalp. In the description of Chic care you will find many more tips on how you can support this regeneration with other measures, and the advice section also takes a closer look at dry scalps.
If, on the contrary, your scalp tends to produce excessive sebum, you can get it under control with Balance Anti Oil Shampoo, usually quite quickly, because the combination of active ingredients consisting of astringent zinc sulfate, strengthening keratin, moisture-regulating glycerin and urea, regenerating allantoin and numerous herbs is a "true miracle weapon" for calming an "overzealous scalp". It works fundamentally, sustainably and in the long term against greasy hair.
When it comes to the "right care product", details that you may not be familiar with can also be important: Brushing your hair is (also) important because it distributes the natural sebum from the scalp towards the ends of the hair. This natural care keeps the outer horny layer of the hair supple by binding the moisture in the hair and protecting it from UV radiation. With curly hair, this distribution cannot be achieved due to the special shape of the hair. Brushing is still important because stimulating blood circulation is essential for a healthy scalp. But curly hair needs additional care from the outside, which our care range for curly hair offers with its valuable active ingredients.
At MeMademoiselle you will find the right care set for every hair type. Take the little time it takes to choose exactly the right care - because all of our products always care for the scalp, the most important prerequisite for healthy, shiny hair.
SCALP PROBLEMS: THE RIGHT CARE ENSURES A STRONG, HEALTHY SCALP
The really bad cases, when the scalp "goes crazy", develops dandruff, produces a huge amount of sebum due to frequent washing, or is generally very sensitive, have not even been mentioned yet? That's right, because the basis of good scalp care is simply an appropriate supply of the right ingredients: Dermatologically tested hair and scalp care, which is produced with the knowledge of 80 years of hair care tradition without microplastics and without animal testing "Made in Germany", contains everything your scalp needs.
Good care is there to provide the scalp with all-round care and to regenerate it. Less is more; frequent washing with the wrong products stresses the scalp just as much as one serum or hair tonic after another.
The regeneration of the scalp just takes a little longer here, and the right care should be tailored to the problem a little more precisely. We have done this detailed work for you; in our care sets you will find series for colored and stressed hair, unruly hair and hair that has been heavily damaged by external influences. You will even find the right care for colored hair with a "yellow tint", and in the advice section you will find a lot of information on how you can soothe your scalp for the long term with nourishing hair oils such as olive oil and leave-in hair treatments.
If a very sensitive scalp is difficult to soothe, our care set for sensitive scalps can help. It regenerates the disturbed skin metabolism of the scalp so gently that redness and itching usually disappear quickly and your shiny head of hair will soon be a real joy to you again.
