What causes dandruff?  

• Dryness or dehydrated scalp, promoting visible flakes and itching.
• Excess sebum, which feeds the microorganisms responsible for dandruff. 
• Stress, fatigue, or hormonal changes, which can weaken the skin and stimulate hair loss.
• Hair products that are unsuitable, too harsh, or irritating to the skin.

These factors combined can cause visible dandruff, an irritated scalp, and daily discomfort. 

How can you adapt your hair care routine to treat dandruff?   

To keep your scalp healthy, it is important to use products that are suited to your skin type, whether you have an oily or dry scalp, and to use targeted treatments without overdoing it. Avoid washing your hair too often or with water that is too hot, as this can dry out your scalp and promote dandruff.

When shampooing, take the time to gently massage your scalp to stimulate blood circulation and promote cell regeneration. Finally, maintain a regular routine with products specially designed for the scalp to prevent itching and maintain comfort, balance, and density. 

The Pre-shampoo, an essential step for a healthy scalp   

Stimulate and strengthen your hair from the roots with Polleine, a 100% plant-based concentrate. Thanks to its combination of ten purifying essential oils, it:

• Balances the scalp and reduces excess sebum 
• Strengthens roots and stimulates microcirculation
• Soothes and purifies for a healthy, comfortable scalp

PHYTO tip: apply a few drops to the scalp before shampooing and massage gently. Leave on for 20 minutes before shampooing as usual. 

Scalp exfoliation, a little-known practice       

Give your scalp a gentle deep clean. PHYTO's Purifying Cleansing Scrub removes dead cells and excess sebum thanks to sea salt crystals. It stimulates microcirculation for an oxygenated and balanced scalp and provides freshness and purity thanks to eucalyptus essential oil.

PHYTO tip: use once or twice a week on a damp scalp in the shower. Do not use on the same day as Polleine Pre-Shampoo. 

How to choose the right shampoo for your scalp?    

Every scalp has its own specific needs. Three expert shampoos meet these needs: 

For dandruff and itching: DERMO-TREATING Shampoo  
From the very first use, it acts against dandruff and soothes itching. Its formula with lactic acid (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA) removes dead cells, while celery extract limits the reappearance of dandruff. Rosemary extract gradually rebalances and protects the scalp. 

For sensitive and irritated scalps: DERMO-SOOTHING Shampoo  
Ideal for soothing redness and itching, it provides comfort and relief from the very first use. Fermented bisabolol reduces irritation, while rosemary protects and rebalances sensitive scalps. 

For oily scalps and hair that quickly becomes greasy: DERMO-PURIFYING Shampoo
It targets excess sebum and impurities to provide an immediate feeling of freshness. Sarcosine regulates sebum production and rosemary helps protect and rebalance the scalp, leaving hair light and supple while allowing you to space out your shampoos. 

A healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful, strong, and comfortable hair. With the right PHYTO care products—purifying cleansing scrub, fortifying concentrate, and dermo-treating shampoo—you can say goodbye to dandruff and itching. Give your scalp the attention it deserves and rediscover softness, shine, and comfort every day.
