HAIR CARE

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.

Do these symptoms sound familiar? Then your hair needs the right care.

The solution? Our alkmene® My Nettle products with nettle extract and pro-vitamin B5 gently cleanse the hair, regulate and soothe the scalp and prevent rapid greasiness

Our MY NETTLE care products – with the unique combination of nettle extract and pro-vitamin B5  – are proven to be effective and dermatologically tested.

THE MY NETTLE ACTIVE FORMULA:

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

NETTLE

Nettle, a well-tried and versatile plant, is particularly well-known in hair care. The valuable nettle extract is obtained from the leaves and stems of the plant and is famous for its sebum-regulating and soothing properties. Nettle is particularly effective for oily, irritated and sensitive scalps, as it regulates sebum production and soothes irritation. Its nourishing and revitalizing properties make it an ideal choice for soothing the scalp, strengthening the hair and keeping it looking fresh and healthy for longer.

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

Pro-Vitamin B5

Pro-Vitamin B5, also known as panthenol, plays a crucial role in the health of the scalp. It penetrates deep into the scalp and provides intensive moisture, protecting the scalp from drying out. Pro-Vitamin B5 strengthens the scalp’s natural protective barrier, supports the regeneration of damaged scalp areas and helps to reduce the appearance of dryness and dandruff. It also promotes a calming effect on sensitive and irritated scalps, soothes redness and inflammation and helps to improve the general well-being of the scalp.

BUT HOW DO OILY HAIR AND AN ITCHY SCALP ACTUALLY 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.
