Possible triggers for a dry scalp
Mild shampoos support the scalp in its regeneration and alleviate the noticeable discomfort.

How men can best care for their dry and sensitive scalp.
Itching, dryness, or tightness – more than one in four men have a sensitive scalp. This is not only uncomfortable but can also lead to annoying dandruff. Find out here how dry scalp develops and how you can prevent it!
The moisture barrier of the scalp is in a delicate balance. If it is disturbed, it can lead to a dry scalp: the skin feels tight, itches, and becomes inflamed.
Due to moisture loss, in addition to itching, redness, or feelings of tightness, it can also lead to dry dandruff. These are small, white, and fall from the scalp and hair.
A healthy scalp is surrounded by an intact lipid film. This regulates moisture and protects the scalp. When this lipid film is disrupted, the skin loses moisture and dries out.
One possible cause is the underproduction of the sebaceous glands, which can throw the scalp off its natural balance. A dry, sensitive scalp can no longer fulfil its protective function. The consequences: itching and dandruff.
To prevent dry scalp and dry dandruff, it is necessary to reduce the triggers. Additionally, choosing the right shampoo is crucial.
