What Weakens Hair? Bad Scalp Cleansing Habits


Hair care is for many a mirror of self-care. It is important to know that having healthy hair is a journey that requires good habits and consistency.

Changes, unfortunately or fortunately, never happen from one day to the next and take time.

The Vitalcrinis anti-hair loss treatment was created with this very purpose: to make personal care and hair well-being accessible to everyone.

The problem, often, is in everyday life. What do we mean?

Often we believe we already have a routine that suits our needs, but despite everything, we don't get the results we hoped for.


What not to do to ruin your hair?

In this article we will focus on some aspects of hair care, focusing on what damages and weakens the hair shaft within the washing steps.

It is well known, in fact, that we must start from our daily habits to understand how to take care of our hair and what makes it healthier and stronger.

You’ll be surprised to discover how simple gestures can keep you from the healthy hair you desire.

Washing your hair too often

This is one of the first pieces of advice that dermatologists and trichologists give to their patients. Washing your hair too often, in fact, stresses it and is responsible for dehydration of the scalp.


But what exactly is going on? The foaming agents in shampoo are specially formulated to remove excess oils from the scalp, including sebum. Cleansing the scalp too frequently removes excessively the hydrolipidic film, which is essential for a healthy and hydrated scalp.

You also risk creating more mechanical stress on the hair shaft. The result will be dry hair, split ends, redness and increased hair loss.


Generally, it is normal to see hair falling out while washing: in most cases, these are hairs that have already finished their life cycle and simply fall out under the pressure of the water. However, when this fallout is excessive, it could mean that you wash your hair too often.

If you are wondering how many times a week you should wash your hair, a good compromise could be 2-3 times a week.

Don't use the conditioner

Hair conditioner, also called conditioner, has the role of replenishing the moisture and nourishment lost during washing. This is precisely why an excellent conditioner contains emollient and hydrating ingredients.

In fact, conditioner creates a sort of protective barrier around the hair shaft, reducing the damage caused by hair dryers, straighteners and pollution.

It is also very important for oily hair! In fact, when you skip the conditioner step, you risk having fragile, frizzy and knotted hair.

Choose a conditioner that suits your needs for shiny and strong hair!


Using products that are too aggressive

We always remain within the washing phase.

Using low-quality products or products with aggressive foaming agents risks drying out the skin further because they remove excessive sebum from the scalp.

The solution is to use gentle shampoos, with natural foaming agents!


Vitalcrinis Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo It is perfect for gently cleansing the skin and repairing the damage caused by too frequent washing.

If you notice increased hair loss due to unsuitable products, it is also a good idea to combine it with the Anti-Hair Loss Serum which helps restore the hydrolipidic film of the scalp.
