Damaged hair care routine

The scalp’s role in healthy-looking hair is often overlooked. Yet it nourishes and hydrates hair throughout its life cycle through the hair bulb. Because it is so important to hair vitality, it deserves a targeted care routine.

Caring for a damaged scalp through brushing

Identify the causes

External factors such as chemical colouring and pollution can affect the scalp and damage its outer layer. When its protective moisture and oil barrier is damaged, the scalp can become oily, dry and irritated, affecting the condition of the hair fibre.

To address this, a complete, consistent care ritual is essential.

Create a complete care ritual

An effective restorative ritual has three steps:

• Apply the Cair fortifying serum to support scalp vitality and bring health and radiance to your hair. Rich in skincare actives and prebiome ingredients, the serum rebalances the scalp ecosystem from the first use.
• Cleanse gently with a moisturising, sulphate-free shampoo, leaving two to three days between washes.
• Stimulate the scalp. For effective stimulation, we recommend brushing your hair twice a day, morning and evening, paying particular attention to the crown at the top of your head. Use enough pressure for a real massaging effect, but keep your touch gentle. To enjoy the benefits of brushing, it is essential to choose a hairbrush suited to your scalp.

Consistency is essential: keep up this ritual for several weeks, and the hair fibre regains its flexibility while the scalp recovers its comfort and natural balance.

Why gentle brushing matters

Some people, women and men alike, have particularly sensitive scalps. Choosing a suitable brush is essential to make brushing a moment of wellbeing. A sensitive scalp benefits from gentle massage, which gradually stimulates circulation and helps this delicate area feel more supple. The scalp, where the hair bulbs sit, has a particularly high concentration of nerve endings. All the more reason to take a few minutes to massage it whenever you can, with the brush that suits you or simply your fingertips.

Which La Bonne Brosse brush should you choose for a delicate scalp?

La Bonne Brosse offers several brushes for sensitive scalps, designed to support growth while strengthening the hair fibre:

• The Large Brush N.01 boar-bristle hairbrush offers a restorative ritual for hair and scalp thanks to its natural properties. Boar bristles contain keratin, as human hair does, and are gentler to brush with than plastic pins. This similarity helps the brush detangle without breaking the hair, while adding volume and smoothing each strand.
• The Large Brush N.02 combines boar bristles and nylon to detangle while giving the scalp an invigorating massage, ideal for supporting regrowth. This boar-bristle and nylon N.02 brush gives the scalp a deep, intense massage and may take some getting used to.
• The Large Brush N.03 boar-bristle and nylon hairbrush is specially designed for sensitive scalps. It combines boar bristles with flexible nylon to care for fragile lengths.
• The Large Brush N.04 vegan hairbrush has soft, massaging nylon fibres that stimulate circulation in the scalp and encourage regrowth. This massage helps bring nutrients to the hair bulb at the root, an essential part of caring for smooth, vibrant-looking hair.
