Understanding Scalp Dermatitis

Scalp Dermatitis is a common issue that leads to inflammation, itching, burning, and flaking of the scalp, hairline, ears, neck, around the eyes, or along the sides of the nose. Often, this is due to the reaction of an overproduction of Malassezia Yeast, and this tends to occur on oilier parts of the body, such as the scalp, hairline, and face.

This condition can be exacerbated by several factors, including:

Dry Skin: Lack of moisture or living in a dry, cold region can worsen symptoms.
Oily Skin: Excess oil on the skin and scalp can increase the production of Malassezia Yeast, leading to further irritation.
Stress: High stress levels make your skin more vulnerable to itchiness, inflammation, irritation, and infection.
Hair Products: Harsh ingredients in shampoos and conditioners can worsen symptoms and not give the scalp microflora a chance to come back into balance. To avoid the extra stress that many commercial hair care ingredients can cause, we recommend avoiding the likes of sulphates (such as SLS and SLES) and all silicone-based ingredients.

Our Recommended Routine For Optimal Results

1. Wash with Milk Shampoo:

Emulsify a few pumps of Milk Shampoo in your hands before applying to wet hair. Focus on the scalp, massaging gently to lift away dirt and oil. Rinse thoroughly before applying a second dose. You'll notice it lathers more this time, indicating a deeper cleanse. Rinse before applying conditioner.

2. Nourish with Cream Conditioner:

Gently squeeze excess water out of your hair before applying Cream Conditioner from the mid to the end of your hair. Leave it in for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.

3. Target with Scalp Cream:

  1. Apply to damp or dry hair: After washing your hair, apply the Scalp Cream to damp or dry hair. Gently massage it into your scalp, focusing on any specifically dry or irritated areas. For best results, part the hair before application.

  2. Leave on as an overnight treatment: Leave the cream on your scalp overnight to give it time to work its magic.

  3. Dry brush in the morning: Use a brush to lightly dry brush your scalp in the morning. You might notice some flakes coming off along with the dried cream - that's a great sign the cream is working its wonders!

  4. Rinse and cleanse: Rinse out the Scalp Cream with our Milk Shampoo to remove any excess product.

  5. Repeat as needed: Continue this routine until you see improvement. Most notice a difference within 3 days.
