Understanding Your Scalp Condition

Mechanism: Stress, illness, postpartum changes or nutritional deficiencies can trigger a surge of hair follicles into the resting (telogen) phase, causing sudden shedding.

Why it persists: When scalp circulation and nutrient delivery aren’t restored, follicles remain inactive and recovery slows.

What improves when treated: Targeted stimulation and nourishment help reactivate follicles, reduce shedding, and restore thicker, stronger hair over time.

Note: This page describes a care routine, not a medical diagnosis.

How This DSD Routine Works

Exfoliate

Removes buildup and balances scalp oils after stress or hormonal shifts, helping follicles receive oxygen and nutrients again.

Soothe & Stimulate

Peptide-rich actives calm inflammation, improve scalp circulation, and reactivate resting follicles to shorten the shedding phase.

Nourish & Strengthen

Keratin, vitamins, and amino acids restore fibre strength, resilience, and healthy regrowth after temporary loss.

FAQs

Can I use this with coloured hair?

Yes. All DSD de Luxe formulations are safe for colour-treated hair. We recommend applying the peeling only to the scalp, avoiding freshly coloured lengths for 48 hours.

Can I use this if I’ve just had a baby or experienced illness?

Yes, this system is specifically formulated for temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, or postpartum changes. Always check with your healthcare provider if breastfeeding.

Can I combine this with Line 9?

Yes. Line 9 lotions (9.1 / 9.4 / 9.5) can replace Line 3 products for stronger stimulation. Start gradually (2–3×/week) if your scalp is sensitive.

Is this safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Most DSD formulas are cosmetic-grade and safe, but we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before beginning active treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

What if my scalp is both oily and itchy?

Continue using Peeling 1.3 weekly and Shampoo 2.1 regularly - this pairing balances oil and soothes irritation simultaneously.
