Concerns related to sensitive scalp are more common than you think, such as an itchy scalp and dandruff. These issues can be attributed to unhealthy hair care habits like over-washing and excessive perming or coloring, which, similar to how the skin of your face reacts to external irritation, can damage the natural barrier of your scalp and disrupt its water-oil balance, leading to scalp tenderness.
A lot of shampoos out there have added colorings, fragrances, parabens and other irritating ingredients, which may cause scalp discomfort. Staying away from these allergens is a good start to repairing a damaged scalp barrier; instead, consider choosing shampoos with mild, hypoallergenic formula.
Gentle shampoos tailored for sensitive scalps mainly contain natural extracts taken from plants, which have a lower chance of irritation to prevent scalp tenderness and inflammation.
