A sensitive scalp: choosing products and treatment carefully
If your scalp stings or reddens easily after a new product, these steps help you try things more safely.
Signs of a sensitive scalp
Stinging, heat or itching soon after shampoo, colour or styling products, especially strongly scented ones, are common signs.
Do a patch test
Try new products on a small area first and wait as the label advises. This matters most before colouring or rebonding.
Use fewer products
More products mean more ingredients that can irritate. A simple routine makes it easier to find the cause.
Tell your consultant
At the consultation, tell us about allergies and past irritation. Treatment is not suitable with an open wound, infection, sunburn or severe irritation. Read comfort during treatment.

General information, not medical advice. A non-surgical cosmetic treatment; not diagnosis or treatment of disease.
Is treatment suitable for a sensitive scalp?
It depends on your scalp's condition on the day. The scalp check and discussion at the consultation decide suitability.
Are 'natural' products safer?
Not necessarily. Natural ingredients can cause allergies too. A patch test is still important.
