Here you’ll find the most frequently asked hair and scalp care questions answered by our trichology team.
Hair loss can take many forms — seasonal shedding, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and more. Each pattern needs its own assessment. These FAQs explain what really helps, what doesn’t, and when to consult a trichology specialist.

Hair loss doesn’t have a single cause — seasonal shedding, androgenetic alopecia, stress and nutritional factors all behave differently. The right treatment starts with a proper diagnosis at the scalp and follicle level, not with picking a product at random.
Read moreAlopecia areata is a non-scarring, immune-related condition that appears as round or oval patches without hair. There’s no single treatment that works for everyone — options depend on the extent, duration and individual case, and need professional assessment.
Read moreThe condition of the scalp shapes how the hair looks and behaves. Greasy roots, dryness, sensitivity and product build-up are mostly a question of habits — washing frequency, choice of shampoo, technique and rinsing. These FAQs explain how to manage daily care for oily and reactive scalps.
Explore our range of seborrheic control and scalp biobalance products.
Greasy hair is the result of excess sebum production on the scalp, not a problem of the fibre itself. Specific shampoos for oily scalps — and alternating between a small group of complementary formulas — can help control oil without being aggressive with the skin.
Read MoreWhether daily washing is advisable depends on your scalp type — greasy, normal, dry or sensitive — and your lifestyle, more than on a universal rule. The key is to use suitable products and a gentle technique whenever you wash.
Read MoreDandruff is a common scalp condition with two main forms — dry and greasy — both linked to disturbances in the natural balance between sebum, scalp microbiome and skin renewal. Knowing which type you have, and what’s behind it, is the first step to choosing the right care.
Explore our range of clinical dandruff and microbiome care products.
Dandruff is a visible, excessive shedding of cells from the outer layer of the scalp. It can be dry (small white flakes) or greasy (larger, more adherent yellowish scales), and is often linked to sebum, scalp microbiome and individual sensitivity. Stress, season and habits can make it worse — but persistent or intense cases need professional assessment.
Read MoreWhat you do to the fibre after it grows out — colour, heat, fixatives, mechanical handling — has a cumulative effect on how it looks and how long it stays in good condition. These FAQs explain how to keep styling routines compatible with healthy fibre, and when chemical or thermal exposure starts to cause real damage.

Most permanent dyes are not neutral for the hair fibre — they alter the cuticle and the cortex to deposit colour, and repeated use can lead to dryness, roughness, loss of shine and breakage. They don’t usually change the basic nature of the scalp, but a patch test before each new dye is essential to rule out contact allergy.
Read MoreHair dryers, styling foams and gels aren’t automatically harmful — the issue is overuse and poor technique. Very high heat, foam or gel applied directly to the scalp, and incomplete rinsing all contribute to damage and discomfort over time. Moderation, distance and proper cleansing make these tools compatible with healthy hair.
Read MoreHair health is not only about products — it’s also about everyday habits, diet, scalp care and knowing what really makes a difference. These FAQs cover common myths and broader questions about how to keep your hair in the best possible condition over time.

No — hair grows from the follicle, not from the cut end. Trimming doesn’t change the rate of growth or the natural strength of the fibre, but it does help remove split ends and reduce breakage over time.
Read MoreA lot. Hair is one of the first markers of imbalance in the body — protein, iron, zinc, B vitamins, vitamin D and essential fatty acids all play a role in normal growth. A balanced diet supports the scalp; restrictive regimes and deficiencies are often reflected in increased shedding.
Read MoreHealthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Gentle washing routines adapted to your scalp type, careful handling of heat and chemical treatments, a balanced diet and good sleep and stress habits all support overall hair condition over time.
