Choosing a Shampoo for Sensitive Scalp: How to Choose the Right One?
People with sensitive scalps usually need to choose a shampoo that is gentle and does not contain irritating ingredients. Specific recommendations are as follows:
Silicone-free shampoo:
Silicones may cause damage to the scalp barrier, which is not good for sensitive scalps. Choosing a silicone-free shampoo can reduce irritation.
Fragrance-free shampoo:
Fragrances may trigger allergic reactions or irritate the scalp, so it is best to choose products without added fragrances.
Gentle formula:
Look for shampoos labeled "gentle" or "suitable for sensitive scalps". These products usually have simple formulas and mild ingredients.
Herbal or natural ingredients:
Some herbal or natural ingredients (such as aloe vera, oatmeal, etc.) are often considered gentle on the scalp and help soothe sensitive scalps.
Avoid strong cleansers:
Avoid choosing shampoos with strong cleansers (such as SLS or SLES) because they may be too irritating.
When choosing a shampoo, it is best to do a small area test first to ensure that it will not cause allergic or irritating reactions. If scalp problems are severe or persistent, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or professional hairdresser for advice.
