Understanding Your Scalp Condition

Mechanism:
Lack of moisture or barrier disruption leaves the scalp dry, tight, and prone to flaking or redness.

Why it persists:
Without hydration and barrier repair, the scalp remains inflamed and produces fine white flakes or itching.

What improves when treated:
Gentle exfoliation and soothing ingredients calm irritation, hydrate the scalp, and restore comfort and balance.

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

How This DSD Routine Works

Exfoliate

Gently lifts dry flakes and clears buildup so the scalp can breathe and absorb moisture more easily.

Soothe & Stimulate

Calming actives relieve itching and tightness while improving circulation to support a healthy scalp barrier.

Nourish & Strengthen

Hydrating ingredients restore comfort, reduce dryness, and help keep the scalp soft, balanced, and flake-free.

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.
