Scaly hair

Recommendation

Wash dandruff-prone hair with HYPOGEN CARE Cleansing Shampoo. If there is no lather on the fingers when shampooing, wash the hair again, preferably with the conditioning shampoo, to ensure sufficient cleansing.

Then spray the hair with HYPOGEN CARE Keratin Instant Care as required and blow dry completely using a boar bristle brush. The bristles are particularly gentle on the hair in terms of friction and do not charge the hair electrostatically. The feather keratin now supports the hair structure with its excellent film-forming properties and makes the hair significantly thicker, more plastic and also more resistant to environmental influences in order to prevent hair damage.

If further care is required - especially for long hair at the ends - massage HYPOGEN CARE Hair Care Oil into dry hair. To do this, apply 1 to 2 drops of Hair Care Oil to the palms of your hands and rub in. Now use your hands as a styling aid and massage the oil film onto your hands, especially into the particularly dry lengths and ends of the hair.

To support the care effect, the hair can now be additionally blow-dried or straightened with a straightening iron. Very fast movements when blow-drying or straightening should be avoided, as they cause unnecessary friction on the hair. The enemy of the hair here is not - as often mistakenly assumed - the heat, but the friction.

Features

Dandruff hair is caused by the disturbance of the so-called microbiome as a protective layer of the scalp. The microbiome is responsible for the balance between the death of old skin cells and the formation of new ones. If it is disturbed, excessive dandruff develops on the scalp, which is distributed over the entire head by the natural movement of the hair.

The causes of flaky scalp can be numerous, often fungal pathogens.

Technically, scaly hair is called pityriasis capitis.

At this point in the navigator "Hair" the treatment of flaky hair is presented. Information on the treatment of the scaly scalp as the actual cause can be found under the corresponding keyword in the navigator "Scalp".
