Full-bodied hair, without splits, that shines and feels smooth - everyone wants that. The basis for this is a healthy scalp. It is one of the most sensitive regions on the body and therefore requires a particularly gentle care.

The scalp skin consists of several skin layers - like all other skin areas. In these layers are sweat and sebaceous glands, nerves, immune defense cells and the hair follicles.

Also, it is involved in regulating body temperature and fluid balance, and protects the head from unwanted intruders. The sebaceous glands continuously produce fat, which protects the scalp and hair from external influences.

In addition, the skin renews regularly - dead cells fall as scales from the head. These are usually so small that you hardly see them.

Sometimes, however, the ingenious system of sebum production and domestic regeneration gets out of balance. Then the scalp is often too dry, it itches and it trickles visible scales from the head. In this case mild care products help to meet the needs of sensitive scalp.

Classic anti-dandruff shampoos should only be used if your hair is simultaneously heavily fat and dandruff. This combination is an ideal breeding ground for fungi. The special products counteract this and dry the scalp so far that it comes back to equilibrium.
