Our scalp produces sebum and thus ensures shiny, healthy hair. However, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes or external influences such as stress and diet can lead to excessive sebum production.

The scalp then starts to itch, the hair quickly becomes greasy and looks heavy and stringy.

THE MY NETTLE ACTIVE FORMULA:

Nettle extract from certified organic cultivation -known for its sebum-regulating properties

NETTLE

Nettle is a tried-and-tested, versatile plant that is mainly used in hair care. The valuable nettle extract is obtained from the leaves and stems of the plant. It is known for its ability to regulate sebum production and soothe the skin. This makes it particularly effective for oily, irritated, and sensitive scalps. Nettle helps to reduce irritation and also has nourishing and revitalizing properties. Nettle extract is the ideal choice for strengthening hair and keeping it fresh and healthy for longer.

Pro-Vitamin B5 – known for its invigorating, nourishing and soothing effect

Pro-Vitamin B5

Pro-vitamin B5 is also known as panthenol. It plays a crucial role in scalp health. It penetrates deep into the skin and provides intense moisture. This protects the scalp from drying out. Pro-vitamin B5 strengthens the skin’s protective barrier, promotes the regeneration of damaged skin areas, and helps to reduce dryness and dandruff. It soothes sensitive and irritated skin. It also reduces redness and inflammation and improves the overall well-being of the scalp.

HOW DO OILY HAIR AND SENSITIVE SCALP DEVELOP?

Oily hair occurs when the sebaceous glands on the scalp produce excess oil (sebum). This sebum is a natural protective mechanism of the skin and helps to retain moisture and keep the hair supple. However, if too much sebum is produced, the hair can quickly appear oily and stringy.
