Sensitive scalp
Not only the hair lengths and ends determine what kind of care you need. A look at the scalp also helps with the selection. Burning or tingling, itching, redness, dandruff, or feelings of tightness can be signs of a sensitive scalp. The various triggers range from stress and allergies to improper care and an unbalanced diet. To get to the bottom of the cause of your sensitive scalp, a hair care diary can help. For example, document what you use to care for your hair, how often you wash it, and what external influences your hair is exposed to. If you have acute symptoms, don’t wait too long but consult your general practitioner.
What problems does sensitive scalp cause?
If the scalp itches, tingles, and feels tight shortly after washing your hair, it can be very distressing. Dandruff is also a problem for many. Additionally, an irritated scalp can affect hair growth.

Blow-dry lukewarm
Excessive heat irritates the scalp and dries it out.

Better brushing
