Ideal hair care routine for a healthy and balanced scalp

Introduction: Fewer products, greater efficiency

In a world saturated with hair care products that sometimes make dubious marketing claims, returning to a simple but targeted routine is a winning strategy. A healthy scalp that is well nourished and properly stimulated is the essential foundation for strong, shiny, and resilient hair. As a trichologist and SEO expert, I offer you an optimized routine here, supported by natural care products such as those available at www.sauvai.com, where every step has a measurable impact. And if you're looking to boost the effects, consider incorporating a dermaroller to increase the penetration of active ingredients tenfold.

Step 1: Weekly oil treatment – the basis for balanced hair

Oil treatments are a key part of any scalp-friendly hair care routine. They nourish the skin, strengthen the roots, and prepare the ground for growth.

Choosing the right oil for your scalp:

• Jojoba oil : ideal for oily scalps. It naturally regulates sebum production.

• Castor oil : rich in ricinoleic acid, it stimulates growth and strengthens the hair fiber.

• Rice bran oil : perfect for sensitive or irritated scalps. Soothing, antioxidant, and light.

Instructions for use:

1. Apply to dry scalp, section by section.

2. Gently massage for 5 minutes.

3. Leave on for at least 1 hour (or overnight under a cotton cap).

4. Rinse with a mild sulfate-free shampoo.

Step 2: Daily massage – oxygenate and stimulate the follicles

Scalp massage is often underestimated. However, it has been proven that regular manual stimulation:

• Increases blood microcirculation

• Promotes the intake of essential nutrients

• Reduces stress, a major factor in hair loss

Pro tip : Incorporate the use of the dermaroller once or twice a week. This tool stimulates collagen production, increases skin permeability, and improves the absorption of Sauvaï oils. The results are amplified, especially on sparse areas.

Step 3: Gentle shampoo – smart cleansing

Cleaning without damaging is the golden rule. Shampoos containing sulfates remove natural sebum, disrupt the balance of the scalp, and trigger defensive reactions (dryness or excess sebum).

Sauvaï recommendation : Use a neutral shampoo made from plant-based ingredients, alternating with a moisturizing shampoo if you have dry ends.

Step 4: Daily moisturizing – comfort and prevention

In addition to nutrition, the scalp needs hydration. A mist made from hydrosols (lavender, chamomile) enriched with light oils (jojoba, hazelnut) helps maintain a good moisture level.

To do:

• Lightly spray morning and evening

• Massage to help the product penetrate and activate microcirculation.

Step 5: Targeted nutrition and supplements if needed

External care is not enough. It is essential to provide the body with:

• Omega-3 (flaxseed oil, fatty fish)

• Zinc and iron (legumes, eggs, spirulina)

• B vitamins (brewer's yeast, nuts, whole grains)

Step 6: Frequency of treatments – regularity before intensity

Here is an example of a balanced weekly routine:

• Monday : oil bath + massage + shampoo

• Tuesday : moisturizing mist + massage

• Wednesday : dermaroller + castor/jojoba oil

• Thursday : mild shampoo + mist

• Friday : massage + targeted oil bath

• Weekend : break or restorative treatments if necessary

Why a minimalist routine is often more effective

Too much care kills effectiveness. Each new product can interact with previous ones, disrupt the pH balance of the scalp, or clog the follicles. By adopting a minimalist routine:

• Irritation and overload are minimized.

• We facilitate the analysis of results and effects.

• You can improve regularity with simple, quick steps.

Incorporating the right products: the example of Sauvaï oils

The quality of the products used makes all the difference. Sauvaï oils are:

• Cold pressed

• First pressing issues

• No additives or fragrances

• Packaged for optimal preservation of active ingredients

Each oil is selected for its purity and proven effectiveness in trichology. When used with the dermaroller, they penetrate deeply and strengthen the hair structure over the long term.

Results expected in 4 to 6 weeks

• Reduction of dandruff, itching, and redness

• Shinier, more supple, and stronger hair

• Growth reactivated in areas where it had slowed down

• Feeling of comfort and soothed scalp

Conclusion: Simplicity at the service of performance

In trichology, it's not the quantity of products that counts, but the quality of the actions taken and the relevance of the active ingredients. By opting for a minimalist, natural, and targeted routine—enriched with Sauvai plant oils and reinforced by the occasional use of a dermaroller—you are adopting a professional method that is gentle on your scalp, sustainable, and above all, effective.
