Intensive Sebum Treatment. J.F. Lazartigue

From the manufacturer: Oily hair and dandruff are indicators of the expressed misbalance of a scalp that usually entails hair loss.  The main function of this product is Sebaceous gland therapy.  This intensive treatment contains micro particles of Kapidzhena (5%), proteins and carbohydrates.  Working at several levels, it deeply cleans and disinfects the scalp, regulates sebum and strengthens hair roots. This is an excellent treatment to prevent the formation of dandruff. Result: The use of this product adjusts the sebaceous glands and reduces sebum. It restores the lipid balance of the scalp, prevents hair loss and promotes growth of new healthy hair.

My opinion: Good stuff. I’ve been using J.F. Lazartigue hair care products for over 2 years now, 7 month of which I devoted to this product specifically. As of today my scalp is no longer oily, which in turns keeps my hair clean and healthy. I’ve  been using it on a daily basis, I don’t know if my oily scalp condition will return once I stop the treatment, Although a sales representative from J.F. Lazartigue assured me that  it would not.

You Should Know Your Type of Hair for the Proper Care

In order to properly care for your hair, it is very important to accurately diagnose your hair type.  Your type of hair would determine the amount of sebum on your scalp. Usually, normal hair will have a moderate amount of sebum, oily hair — extra sebum, dry hair — low sebum level. These sebum levels are what make it so important to select hair care products appropriate for your hair type.

Normal hair, if healthy, is easier to care for. The main characteristics for this type of hair are: dense, elastic, thick, straight or slightly wavy hair, and without dandruff or an itchy scalp. Natural hair loss doesn’t exceed 50 hairs per day. Normal hair doesn’t stick together in a lock, does not become fragile, and is easy to style. Normal shampooing is upon demand, but mostly once a week. As for the selection of a shampoo, that’s an easy one: Shampoos for all hair types will be suitable for normal hair.

Dry hair is more thin and sensitive to atmospheric influences, chemical and cosmetic products. Lowered sebum levels strip hair of its shine and elasticity, making it dim and extremely fragile. Dandruff is more common with this hair type. This type of hair is usually considered unhealthy, and requires care and treatments. Most of the time, dryness of the scalp and hair is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin A, and an unbalance of nervous and endocrine regulation. Dry hair demands especially careful care. You should not wash it more often than once every ten days.  People suffering with dry hair should have a diet rich in vitamin A (Butter, milk, eggs, cod liver, fish-oil, fruits, and vegetables, persimmon, oranges, carrots, pumpkin, and cabbage of all kinds). Good rest and a balanced diet are a must. You have to protect your hair from coloring, leaching, perms, and the UV rays of the sun – it is far better to wear a hat when exposed to sun!

Oily hair, on the contrary, is thicker and more elastic, than normal hair. It absorbs less water, has a sebaceous shine, and may stick together in locks. Excess oil is built up on the skin in the form of flakes, or a yellow-colored crust, causing an itchy sensation and an unpleasant look. Clearly, oily hair needs special attention and special hair care products. You have to wash your hair on demand, usually every two days.  Oily hair requires a special diet full of vitamins and minerals.  The quantity of fat intake must be reduced.  It is not recommended to consume canned food, salty, or spicy dishes. An active style of life, IE: sports, walks, and other activities that assist in the normalizing of your metabolism are also recommended.
