MY SCALP PLANT
🪴 Aloe
Moisture and calm come first — cushioning aloe is your plant.
What this looks like
· Your scalp feels tight and sheds fine white flakes
· New products easily sting or redden it
· Moisture and mildness come first
The right pH
Recommended · Mildly acidic (pH 4.5–5.5)
This range supports the moisture barrier and natural pH — with a more stable cuticle, it's also kinder to damaged or color-treated hair.
· 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
✓ Prioritize fragrance-free and mild surfactants (glucosides, isethionates)
✓ Powdery flakes often mean dryness, not dandruff — moisturize before reaching for anti-dandruff
✓ Hot showers make dryness worse
