Oily scalp solution

Dealing with an oily scalp is a common concern affecting a significant portion of our population. You might find yourself grappling not only with excessive sebum on your scalp but also on your face. This issue is often closely linked to hormonal imbalances. Who is most affected by an oily scalp? Teenagers, whose bodies are just beginning to produce hormones like estrogens and androgens, often experience this. However, insulin spikes emerge as a significant culprit, as research indicates. Menopausal women contend with hormonal changes, while men with heightened receptor sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) also find themselves prone to oily scalps.

Regrettably, dietary habits and modern lifestyles exacerbate the problem. Factors such as food intolerances, like dairy, and the ubiquitous presence of xenoestrogens in plastics and processed foods contribute to the challenge. Furthermore, deficiencies in nutrients such as iron, Vitamin B complex, and Vitamin D are increasingly prevalent. You might wonder how diet relates to an oily scalp, but the connection is more significant than you might realize.

Each hair follicle serves as a miniature ecosystem, complete with its own capillary, nervous, and lymphatic systems, as well as one or more sebaceous glands. These glands possess hormone receptors for androgens, estrogens, insulin, and even Vitamin D. When you suffer from iron deficiency, your hair is inadequately nourished. Similarly, insulin resistance or elevated insulin levels in the blood directly impact sebum production from the sebaceous glands.

Perhaps you've resorted to using drying shampoos or even worse dry shampoo to combat oiliness, inadvertently exacerbating the issue by overstimulating your scalp and prompting further oil production. Hence, it's crucial to tailor your scalp care regimen. This is where our specialized set comes into play, designed to assist you effectively.

Our scalp mask, combined with therapeutic lotion, applied once a week or every ten days, works wonders. Leave the mixture on your scalp for 20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Follow up with a double wash using a sebum-regulating shampoo. It's imperative to let the active foam sit on your scalp for at least five minutes before rinsing off. You should hear a squeaky noise as you rinse, indicating that your scalp is thoroughly clean.

Additionally, alternate the use of sebum-regulating shampoo with other options, such as a nutrient-rich moisturizing shampoo. Maintaining hydration and a balanced scalp microbiome is essential. While trichological products can aid in managing the issue, they are not a panacea for underlying hormonal imbalances, food intolerances, or nutritional deficiencies, which necessitate separate management.

If you require further assistance in addressing your concerns and delving deeper into potential solutions, we offer professional trichological consultations. Our experts can guide you in creating a personalized scalp care routine tailored to your unique needs. Please feel free to schedule your consultation, and let us help you embark on your journey towards a healthier scalp.

How to Use 

Essential Steps for Using Simone Products:

1. Dermo capillary treatment mask                                                                            Mix 3 spoons of the Dermo Capillary Mask in a separate bowl, then add one to two caps of the Natural Polyplant Anti-Dandruff treatment. Blend the mixture thoroughly and apply it to your dry scalp before washing, making sure to cover the entire scalp area. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes while wearing a plastic cap. Just before rinsing, remove the plastic cap and gently massage the scalp. Rinse the mask thoroughly with water and proceed to double wash your scalp using one of SIMONE's shampoos. Ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin before application - please perform a patch test. 

2. Double Cleanse with Alternation:
Double cleansing is crucial when using Simone products. Alternate between our Sebum Regulating Shampoo and Preventing Hair Loss Shampoo or Nutri Fiber Moisturizing  Shampoo for each wash. The first wash serves as a preparatory step, where you may not notice much foam. This initial wash sets the stage for the second cleanse, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the scalp. The active ingredients in our products can then penetrate deeply into the follicles and scalp, working their magic effectively. Using Preventing Hair Loss Shampoo every second wash helps to balance oil control without over-drying the scalp, promoting hair regrowth and health.

3. Active Foam Application:
After the second wash, allow the active foam to sit on your scalp for a maximum of 5 minutes—no longer. This time allows the ingredients to work optimally.

4. Thorough Rinsing:
While rinsing off, you'll notice a characteristic squeaky noise as your hair is cleansed thoroughly. This sound is a sign of proper and accurate cleansing, indicating that your scalp is clean and ready for the next steps.

5. Drying:
Gently pat your hair with a towel to remove excess water. Apply Triple action conditioner  as needed, rinse off, and pat dry once again using a soft cotton or microfibers towel.

6. Natural Polyplant Sebum Control Treatment:
Always apply our Natural Polyplant Sebum Control Treatment to a wet scalp and hair. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes to allow the beneficial ingredients to absorb. Afterward, dry your hair using a hair dryer for best results.

By following these steps, you can ensure that you get the most out of Simone products, achieving a clean, nourished, and healthy scalp.
