Hair & Scalp Treatments

What is the scalp?

The scalp is the skin covering the top of the head from which hair grows. It houses the hair follicles, responsible for hair growth, as well as the sebaceous glands that produce sebum—a natural protective film that helps maintain softness and shine.

Often overlooked in haircare routines, the scalp is essential for balanced, beautiful hair. Like facial skin, it deserves special attention to reveal the full beauty of your hair. At L’Occitane en Provence, our haircare draws inspiration from Haute-Provence’s botanical expertise to nurture this balance every day.

Why is scalp balance so important?

A balanced scalp creates an environment for stronger, more supple and naturally radiant hair. When well cared for, hair appears lighter, softer and easier to style.

Over time, various factors can disrupt this balance: pollution, stress, seasonal changes or build-up from hair products. The scalp can become oily, dry or sensitive, causing discomfort, itchiness or dandruff. Using suitable care helps restore the scalp’s natural equilibrium. To create a respectful haircare ritual, discover our natural shampoos as well as our silicone-free care and sulfate-free care.

What habits should you adopt for scalp care?

Caring for your scalp starts with simple daily gestures. A gentle shampoo removes impurities and excess sebum while respecting the scalp’s natural balance. After washing, applying a conditioner helps nourish and detangle lengths for softer, more manageable hair.

Another often underestimated step is gently massaging the scalp during shampooing. This stimulates microcirculation and contributes to hair vitality, while offering a sense of well-being.
