Shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner. Anyone who has never heard of this has probably spent a lifetime on a desert island. No, then the hair products for advanced users: a solution for many, but known to few people. These products are a possible solution, especially for persistent or specific hair or scalp problems that require a more intensive approach. Night cream for dehydrated hair, a care emulsion for a dry scalp, a mask for aging hair, it’s all available. Seven hair and scalp problems, and seven solutions.

Problem 1: dry scalp

Solution: scalp emulsion

There are many products available that will help you manage your scalp with dandruff. But people who have an itchy scalp and see flakes in their hair sometimes make a mistake about the right products: perhaps dandruff shampoo for oily hair is exactly the product you shouldn’t have. Because it is just as possible that the scalp is simply dry and needs extra care. There are products such as Nutriose from Kérastase for this purpose. This deeply nourishing emulsion softens and nourishes the scalp. You can go to the Kérastase hairdresser for it. But Nutriose can also be found on websites specialized in special hair products or large international sites such as eBay or Amazon. The same brand has Noctocalm on offer for a sensitive, red and irritated scalp. This night care soothes the scalp and does not need to be rinsed.

Problem 2: Ultra-dry, unruly hairSolution: night cream

No, do not apply the facial product to your difficult, coarse and dry hair. But try another extra care step if your hair is dry and arid due to the sun, styling, coloring or perming: night cream for the hair. Just like with night cream for the face, the principle is simple. During the night, a care product continues to work undisturbed while you sleep away. One of the advanced yet affordable night creams for hair is L’Oréal Elvive re-nutrion Elixir Night.

Problem 3: limp, dry hairSolution : gel-in-oil styling

People with dry and limp hair often have a love-hate relationship with styling products. Regular hair gel, for example, gives the hair body and hold. But such a gel can dry out your hair. With limp, dry hair you are even further away from home. However, for hair that requires both specific care and styling, there are also two-in-one styling products. This includes nourishing hair gels, such as the Oléo Curl nourishing gel from Kérastase. This contains a nourishing ‘Nutri-oil’ complex and lipids similar to the hair’s own lipids, which create a protective layer around the hair.

Problem 4: Hair LossSolution: Roll

Not to be confused with rollers in the hair, it is really a roller with a handle. And it is intended to promote hair growth through the action of very fine needles. In addition, you can intensify the effect of scalp lotions while rolling, for example if you are looking for a solution for hair loss or use a lotion for your scalp. Examples of these multifunctional devices are the Scalproller and the Dermaroller.Source: L’Oreal

Problem 5: Aging, thinning and weakening hairSolution: anti-aging hair products

For aging skin we use anti-wrinkle cream. For aging hair we often do… the same thing as ten years ago: wash, conditioner from the drugstore, style… and sigh about thinning hair and hair loss. Fortunately, manufacturers understand that revitalizing care for older hair is a gap in the market. Sorry, laundry. One of the complete lines for older hair is Age Recharge from Kérastase. Ever knew that anti-hair aging masks exist? No? Hereby. The nice thing is that when caring for aging hair, you actually don’t even have to do anything extra for your hair. You do not change your routine, but only the type of care products.

Problem 6: lifeless hairSolution: the ampoules

A boost for extra care or tackling a specific problem. This is the function of the many ampoules that exist on the cosmetics market. Now they are no longer just for the face, but Рit will no longer surprise anyone Рalso for the hair. An example is K̩rastases Lipo Recharge: an intensive ampoule treatment that promotes cell renewal, contains concentrated caring ingredients and adds moisture. An ampoule treatment is also a recommended remedy against hair loss. Such an ampoule treatment is available from Miglorin, from the series of the same name against hair loss.

Problem 7: scalp and hair are out of balance, quickly greasy or drySolution: a scrub for the scalp

The hair quickly lies flat against the scalp, and the scalp feels uncomfortable. An excess of styling products seems to have settled in after years of lavish use. Men in particular regularly suffer from this. Then a special scrub for the scalp is a solution. This opens the pores, regulates the sebum balance and makes the hair airy again. A hip and hot example is the Exfoliating Face & Scalp Scrub from Skinnovators. This scrub is for both face and scalp. The scrub cleans intensively and stimulates, thanks to vegetable ingredients such as olive pit powder and kiwi oil.
