Scalp hyperseborrhea is a concern that can affect the health of hair fibers and accentuate scalp imbalances in the long term if an effective care routine is not put in place. At Fauve, we have developed a tailor-made solution for each scalp, aimed at restoring its natural balance. Discover the Fauve method as well as our advice for regulating your scalp's sebum production effectively and naturally.
THE FAUVE PROTOCOL: A TAILOR-MADE TARGETED APPROACH
DIAGNOSIS OF SCALP CONDITION WITH HAIR FVLAB TECHNOLOGY
The Tailor-Made Scalp Treatment at Studio Fauve was designed to treat unbalanced scalps. An analysis of the scalp's tendency is carried out using a trichoscope and serves as a basis for our expert practitioner who then determines a personalized treatment protocol. The analysis makes it possible to diagnose hyperseborrhea and to check the levels of other parameters such as scalp hydration or the presence of irritations.
THE DETOX SERUM: A TARGETED TREATMENT
We have also developed a targeted treatment to effectively treat hyperseborrhea. This serum deeply purifies the scalp and regulates sebum production thanks to the combined action of its active ingredients:
- Astragalus: Extracted from the root of Astragalus. Reduces sebum production.
- Zinc PCA: amino acids from beetroot. Anti-bacterial and regulates sebum
- Enzymatic exfoliant: PHA organic acid, gentler than AHA. Exfoliates the scalp and eliminates surface dandruff.
- Niacinamide: superfood including vitamin B3. Protects against UV damage and urban pollutants.
THE IDEAL HAIR ROUTINE TO FIGHT HYPERSEBORRHEA
WASHING FREQUENCY
We recommend washing your hair every 2 to 3 days to avoid overstimulating the sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands, located in the dermis, produce sebum to protect the scalp. Frequent washing eliminates this natural protection, forcing the glands to compensate by producing too much. Washing too frequently can therefore aggravate hyperseborrhea and is counterproductive because the scalp becomes greasy more quickly. Choose gentle, sulfate-free shampoos to avoid scalp irritation.
DO YOU USE CONDITIONER?
Apply conditioner only to the lengths and ends. Avoid the scalp to avoid weighing down the roots and making hyperseborrhea worse. Heavy products can clog hair follicles and disrupt sebum secretion. Choose light, non-comedogenic conditioners that won't clog pores.
GOOD REFLEXES TO ADOPT
- Scalp massages: Perform gentle massages while washing to stimulate blood circulation without irritating the sebaceous glands.
- Air Dry Hair: Avoid excessive use of hair dryers which can irritate the scalp.
NATURAL TREATMENTS TO DO AT HOME
- Green Clay Masks: Apply a green clay mask once a week to absorb excess sebum and purify the scalp. Green clay has absorbent and purifying properties that help balance sebum production.
- Apple Cider Vinegar Rinses: Use a mixture of water and apple cider vinegar as a final rinse to rebalance the scalp's pH and reduce sebum production. Apple cider vinegar helps maintain the scalp's natural acidic pH, which is essential for regulating sebum production.
GESTURES TO AVOID
THE USE OF AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS
Avoid shampoos that contain sulfates and parabens. These ingredients can irritate the scalp and disrupt the balance of sebum production. Sulfates are strong detergents that can strip away natural oils, while parabens can cause inflammatory reactions on sensitive scalps.
TIGHT HAIRSTYLES
Try to avoid tight hairstyles like ponytails or strict buns. These hairstyles can pull on the scalp and hair follicles, stimulating the oil glands. Repeated pulling on the hair and scalp can stimulate oil production and damage the hair follicles.
EXCESSIVE SCALP HANDLING
Likewise, it is best to avoid frequent touching of your scalp. Constant handling can transfer oil and bacteria from your hands to your scalp, exacerbating hyperseborrhea. Constant touching can not only transfer contaminants but also mechanically stimulate the sebaceous glands, increasing sebum production.
OVERUSE OF HAIR CARE PRODUCTS
Limit the use of heavy styling products like gels and mousses. These products can clog hair follicles and weigh hair down, leading to oil buildup. Heavy products can create an occlusive environment, promoting the buildup of oil and cellular debris.
HIGH TEMPERATURE DRYING
Avoid using hair dryers on high heat. High heat can alter the scalp's natural lipid barrier, stimulating increased sebum production to repair damage.
