Much like your skin, your scalp is exposed to a variety of internal and external stressors that can lead to different scalp conditions. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to keep your scalp healthy and your hair looking its best.
Dandruff
Dandruff is a common issue, often caused by:
- Heightened scalp sensitivity
- Imbalanced sebum production (too much or too little)
- Overgrowth of yeast, specifically Malassezia
Other contributors include stress, poor lifestyle habits, unsuitable hair products, or frequently wearing hats and helmets.
Dandruff can be categorized into two types:
Dry dandruff
Dry dandruff occurs on irritated, dehydrated scalps. It causes itching, redness, and flaky, lightweight white particles that easily fall from the scalp.
Oily dandruff
Oily dandruff forms on scalps with excess sebum. This creates an environment where Malassezia thrives, triggering inflammation and speeding up cell turnover. Oily dandruff appears as larger, sticky flakes that cling to the hair and can cause itchiness.
Natural remedies
Several natural solutions can support dandruff management. Baking soda helps remove impurities, green clay absorbs excess sebum, apple cider vinegar restores pH balance, coconut oil nourishes, and aloe vera soothes irritation. However, consulting a healthcare professional is essential to avoid aggravating the condition.
Ducray treatments for dandruff

Itchy scalp (pruritus)
Itching is a natural response, but when it becomes persistent and disrupts daily life, it’s classified as pruritus.
Various factors, including nerve fibers and biological molecules like cytokines, can contribute to this condition.
Pruritus affects people of all ages and may localize to the scalp or spread across the body.
Ducray treament for pruritus
Sensinol Shampoo
Ducray’s Sensinol Shampoo: Alcohol- and fragrance-free, this shampoo is enriched with polidocanol, an ingredient that soothes itching and provides lasting relief for dry scalps.
Beyond physical discomfort, scalp itching can lead to psychological effects such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and even depression. By addressing the root cause, Ducray products help users regain comfort and peace of mind.
Hair loss
Hair loss typically occurs in two main forms: reactive and chronic.
Reactive hair loss
This temporary type of hair loss is most common in women and often occurs about three months after a triggering event. Common causes include hormonal changes (e.g., postpartum), stress, fatigue, poor nutrition, infections with fever, or seasonal changes. Reactive hair loss can lead to shedding up to 300 hairs per day but typically lasts less than six months.
Chronic hair loss
Chronic hair loss develops gradually and is often hormonal, but it can also stem from nutritional or metabolic issues. This condition results in reduced hair density, particularly on the crown for men and temples for women. Hair strands become finer and shorter over time, and the condition persists for six months or longer.
