You can't have healthy hair without a healthy scalp!
That's why it's so important to know how to look after it and pay attention to the signs it sends us, because if it's healthy, it will forget about itself.
What is the scalp?
It's the skin that covers the skull, and it's essential to take care of it if you want healthy hair. This skin is particularly fragile, and if it has the same structure as the rest of the body, it produces more sebum and hosts more hairs, which are hair.
There are different types of scalp and their nature can vary depending on exposure to the elements, sebum secretion levels...
The main purpose of shampooing is to eliminate the sebum that accumulates on the scalp, not just to clean the hair, even if we say "wash the hair".

How can I have a healthy scalp?
To achieve this, it needs to be detoxified and oxygenated. How can we do this? With gentle massages and daily brushing. It's important and essential to use a soft boar bristle brush.
Brush your hair in the morning and at the end of the day to rid your hair and scalp of all the impurities accumulated throughout the day.
Advice from Christophe-Nicolas Biot
At least 5 minutes a day should be devoted to relaxing the scalp with a gentle, non-aggressive massage.
- Silicone
Silicone is the #1 enemy of hair and scalp. Like a foundation, this molecule masks everything. It will smooth hair and make it shiny for a while, but in fact, it suffocates everything. In the long run, the hair will denature and fall out, because silicone acts like a drug for the hair. The more we use it, the more the hair needs it to look good.
- Exfoliation
The scalp can be gently exfoliated, but only with healthy, natural products. You have to be careful, because exfoliation is an aggression, even if it's done gently. It excites the sebaceous glands, which will then secrete more sebum because they will be over-activated.
- Feeding
What's on the outside is on the inside. Foods containing iron, creatine and vitamin B6 are preferable. Zinc and cystine are also very good.
For a professional appraisal of your hair, and to treat yourself to an appropriate treatment, don't hesitate to make an appointment at one of Christophe Nicolas Biot's beauty salons.
