Damaged hair care routine

To achieve truly healthy hair, the role of the scalp is often overlooked. Yet it is the scalp that nourishes and hydrates the hair throughout its life cycle via the hair bulb. As the foundation of hair vitality, it is essential to care for it with a targeted scalp care routine.

Repairing a Damaged Scalp Through Brushing

Identify the Causes

The scalp is exposed to external aggressors such as chemical color treatments and pollution, which damage its outer layer. When its hydrolipidic film is weakened, the scalp can become oily, dry or irritated, directly affecting the health of the hair fiber.

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

Incorporate a Complete Ritual

An effective repairing routine is structured around three steps :

• Apply the Cair Strengthening Serum to stimulate scalp vitality and restore health and radiance. Rich in skincare-grade active ingredients and prebiotics, this strengthening serum helps rebalance the scalp ecosystem from the very first use.
• Cleanse gently with a sulfate-free hydrating shampoo, spacing washes two to three days apart.
• Stimulate the scalp. To properly stimulate your scalp, it is recommended to brush your hair twice a day, morning and evening, focusing on the crown area at the top of the head. This essential gesture should be neither too light nor too firm in order to deliver a true massaging effect. To fully benefit from brushing, choosing a hairbrush adapted to your scalp is crucial.

Consistency is essential: by maintaining this ritual over several weeks, the hair fiber regains suppleness and the scalp recovers comfort and its natural balance.

The Importance of Gentle Brushing

Some individuals, both women and men, may experience a particularly sensitive scalp. It is therefore essential to choose a hairbrush that transforms brushing into a true moment of well-being. Sensitive scalps require gentle massage to gradually stimulate blood circulation and soften this fragile area. The scalp — home to the hair follicles — is one of the areas of the body with the highest concentration of nerve endings. This is why taking a few minutes, as often as possible, to massage your scalp with your ideal hairbrush or simply with your fingertips is so important.

Which La Bonne Brosse Hairbrush Should You Choose for a Weakened Scalp ?

La Bonne Brosse offers several hairbrushes designed for sensitive scalps, created to combine hair growth support with strengthening of the hair fiber :

• N.01 Large Boar Bristle Hairbrush: A true revitalizing treatment for both hair and scalp thanks to the natural properties of boar bristles. Containing the same keratin components as human hair, and structured with natural boar follicles, it provides a gentler brushing experience than plastic bristles. This structural similarity allows for gentle detangling without breakage while adding volume and coating the hair fiber.
• N.02 Large Boar Bristle and Nylon hairbrush: This mixed bristle hairbrush detangles while delivering a vigorous scalp massage, making it ideal for supporting regrowth. The N.02 provides a deep and intense scalp massage and may require a short adaptation period.
• N.03 Large Boar Bristle and Nylon hairbrush: Specifically designed for sensitive scalps, it combines boar bristles with soft nylon bristles to protect fragile lengths.
• N.04 Large Vegan Hair hairbrush: Made with soft, massaging nylon fibers, it stimulates blood circulation in the scalp, thereby supporting regrowth. Through this massage, the hair bulb is nourished directly at the root — essential for stronger, healthier-looking hair.
