Stop accumulating unnecessary products and get back to basics
Introduction: Less is more—the philosophy of modern hair care
At a time when store shelves are overflowing with hair care products making tempting promises, many people fall into the trap of overconsumption. However, in trichology, an overloaded routine can have the opposite effect to that desired: saturation of the scalp, obstruction of the follicles, ineffective treatments, and even increased hair loss. Getting back to basics is a powerful step towards a healthy scalp—and a philosophy championed by Sauvaï experts. Discover how to simplify without sacrificing effectiveness.
The negative effects of an excessive hair care routine
Using several different products (masks, serums, treatment shampoos, scented oils, texturizing sprays, etc.) without consistency leads to:
-
Excess residue on the scalp
-
Asphyxia of the hair follicles
-
An imbalance in skin pH
-
Chronic inflammation causing itching and hair loss
By accumulating active ingredients, you also prevent the truly effective ingredients from penetrating where they need to act: at the bulb level.
The fundamental principle: targeting and personalization
The effectiveness of a routine is based on three pillars:
-
Identify the needs of YOUR scalp (oily, dry, irritated, prone to hair loss)
-
Choose minimalist, multifunctional skincare products
-
Eliminate all unnecessary or harsh products
Example of a simplified and effective routine using Sauvaï products:
-
Neutral sulfate-free shampoo (twice a week)
-
Targeted oil bath (once a week)
-
Scalp serum or light oil (3 times/week)
Why vegetable oil is all you need to transform your routine
Sauvaï vegetable oils—such as jojoba oil, castor oil, and rice bran oil—can replace:
-
Nourishing treatment (oil bath)
-
Anti-dandruff treatment (thanks to their antifungal properties)
-
Anti-hair loss serum (thanks to circulation stimulation and bulb nourishment)
These oils are cold-pressed, rich in bioavailable active ingredients, and suitable for all scalp types. Their effect is multiplied when applied after using a dermaroller.
The "skin fasting" technique for the scalp
Very popular in cosmetics, "skin fasting" involves temporarily stopping all products to allow the skin to rebalance naturally. The principle also works on the scalp:
-
A week without styling products
-
No harsh shampoos
-
Simply a mild oil applied 2 to 3 times
The result? The scalp breathes, detoxifies, and becomes more receptive to subsequent treatments.
The benefits of a minimalist and focused routine
-
Time saving : Just three steps
-
Less spending : priority given to truly useful products
-
Long-lasting results : balance of the skin microbiome
-
Better tolerance : fewer reactions and less itching
Conclusion: Getting back to basics means giving more meaning to your care
In trichology, as in cosmetics, performance comes from precision. By eliminating unnecessary treatments and focusing on high-quality natural oils such as those offered at www.sauvai.com, you allow your scalp to regenerate, breathe better, and naturally boost hair growth. Remember: fewer products means better results.
