Irritation, dryness, discomfort, overheating. When your scalp is irritated, you need to react quickly and effectively. Soothe it to reduce painful sensations, but also treat it with soothing shampoo.
The scalp is an extremely sensitive zone, with dense innervation and numerous nerve endings that react to the slightest aggression. When the cutaneous barrier is damaged, inflammatory reactions are commonplace. They give rise to sensations of discomfort. Itching, dryness, tingling, tightness, redness and overheating can quickly complicate our lives.
To soothe irritation, you need a shampoo that not onlysoothes the scalp, but also treats it so that it returns to a healthy state, explains Laurie Jacquet.

When it comes to choosing a treatment shampoo, the first thing to look for is a product suited to sensitive scalps. We're interested in the active ingredients in soothing shampoos that act on irritation. Sensirin, in particular, is a soothing agent that acts on sensations of discomfort (heating, itching, tingling) and redness. We study the speed of efficacy and soothing perception (the soothing effect can be felt immediately after the first shampoo), but we also pay attention to the lasting effect. To avoid any reactions, we also choose a shampoo based on its tolerance(hypoallergenic, tested on sensitive skin).
Finally, we look for shampoos specifically adapted to our hair: fiber care, color care, care for healthy hair growth.
