MY SCALP PLANT
🌼 Chamomile
Balanced but secretly delicate — soothing chamomile is your match.
What this looks like
· Oil levels are fine, but your scalp reacts easily
· Strong fragrance and cooling products cause itch or sting
· Short, simple formulas suit you best
The right pH
Recommended · Mildly acidic (pH 4.5–5.5)
This range helps maintain your scalp's natural pH. Irritation itself depends more on cleansers and fragrance — check those too.
· A healthy scalp sits around pH 4.5–5.5, but mildly acidic isn't automatically the best shampoo.
· Most products already fall between pH 4 and 7, which supports the scalp's natural acidity — not being 'pH-balanced' doesn't make a shampoo harsh, and being acidic doesn't make it gentler.
Checklist
✓ Prefer short ingredient lists and fragrance-free formulas
✓ Multiple fragrance allergens (limonene, linalool…) is a skip signal
✓ Trial a new shampoo alone for ~2 weeks to see how your scalp reacts
