Hair Care for Sensitive Scalps

A sensitive scalp can feel dry, tight, itchy or uncomfortable, particularly after washing or using certain hair products. Choosing gentle hair care and paying attention to the products that work well for your individual scalp can make your routine more comfortable.

At Evergreen, you'll find shampoos, conditioners and other hair care from trusted brands, with options designed with sensitive scalps in mind.

What Hair Care Is Best for a Sensitive Scalp?

Start with a simple routine using products suited to sensitive skin and scalps. A gentle shampoo can cleanse the hair and scalp, while conditioner can be used according to the needs of your hair.

If you know that particular ingredients or heavily fragranced products don't suit your scalp, check the individual product ingredients before choosing.

What Shampoo Is Best for a Sensitive Scalp?

Look for a shampoo designed to cleanse gently without leaving your scalp feeling uncomfortable or overly dry.

Our Shampoo for Sensitive Scalp collection includes gentle options from trusted hair care brands, making it easier to find a shampoo suited to your scalp and hair type.

Should You Use Conditioner with a Sensitive Scalp?

Yes, although how you use conditioner will depend on both your scalp and your hair.

If your scalp is particularly sensitive, you may prefer to concentrate conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends rather than directly on the scalp. Explore our Conditioner for Sensitive Scalp range for suitable options.

Is a Sensitive Scalp the Same as Dandruff?

No. Scalp sensitivity and dandruff aren't necessarily the same thing, although symptoms such as itching or discomfort can overlap.

If visible flakes and dandruff are your main concern, our Dandruff & Itchy Scalp Shampoos collection is a better place to start.

What Can Cause a Sensitive Scalp?

Scalp sensitivity can have many possible triggers. Some people find that particular hair products, fragrances, frequent washing, styling products or environmental factors can leave their scalp feeling uncomfortable.

Rather than assuming there's one cause, consider when your scalp feels most sensitive and whether changing individual products or simplifying your routine makes a difference.

When Should You Seek Advice About an Irritated Scalp?

If scalp irritation is persistent, severe, painful or accompanied by significant flaking, sores or hair loss, it's worth speaking to your GP, pharmacist or another appropriate healthcare professional rather than relying solely on cosmetic hair care.
