A signal that starts at the scalp
Roots that feel heavy and oily within a day or two of washing, visible oily dandruff, increasingly frequent washing and hair that loses volume almost immediately are all signs that the scalp may be producing more sebum than needed, or that the current routine is not well-suited to its condition.
The first step is not switching shampoo at random. It is understanding what is happening to the scalp.
Common signs
- Roots visibly heavy or greasy within a few days of washing
- Oily or sticky-feeling scalp
- Oily dandruff that adheres to the hair or scalp
- Hair that loses volume quickly after shampooing
- Itching or discomfort around the roots
- Need to wash hair every day or almost every day
Common causes
- Washing routine not suited to the scalp type
- Use of products that are too heavy or occlusive on the scalp
- Prolonged stress, which can affect sebum production
- Hormonal fluctuations (common in adolescence, pregnancy, menopause)
- Excessive styling product applied close to the roots
- Very hard water or inadequate rinsing technique
What Kronocare does
The Kronocare team observes the scalp, assesses sebum type and distribution, then builds a personalised cosmetic protocol.
The programme may include:
- rebalancing in-salon treatments
- a specific protocol to purify and normalise the scalp
- an at-home routine more suited to oily scalp types (shampoo choice, frequency, technique)
- guidance to avoid aggravating the condition with unsuitable products
