Understanding Your Scalp Condition

Mechanism:
Overactive sebaceous glands and an imbalance in scalp microflora lead to excess oil, itching, and thick yellow flakes.

Why it persists:
When sebum and yeast activity stay uncontrolled, pores clog, inflammation rises, and hair may begin to shed.

What improves when treated:
Cleansing and balancing actives regulate oil, clear buildup, relieve itching, and help maintain a fresh, healthy scalp.

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

How This DSD Routine Works

Exfoliate

Removes excess oil, buildup, and impurities that block follicles, helping the scalp breathe and reducing flaking.

Soothe & Stimulate

Balances sebum production and calms irritation while improving microcirculation to keep the scalp fresh and comfortable.

Nourish & Strengthen

Active ingredients restore scalp balance, relieve itching, and support stronger, cleaner hair growth from healthier roots.

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.
