How to soothe an itchy, flaky scalp?Denise Phillips, Co-Founder of Voduz



I had never paid much attention to my scalp health until I met Denise Phillips, Co-Founder of Voduz. She opened my eyes to how I can look after my scalp and reduce the inflammation and flaking that comes with psoriasis.


I have suffered with psoriasis for over twenty years, and I feel it has gotten worse over the years due to using inappropriate products when washing and styling my hair.


Denise promotes exfoliating the scalp for lots of different reasons as she has listed below:


How do I get rid of my dry scalp?

The scalp is indeed skin, and it requires proper care to remain healthy. When the scalp is dry, it can lead to an overproduction of dead skin cells, which may cause flakiness or discomfort. Using a gentle exfoliant, like the one from Voduz, can help remove dead skin cells, promoting a healthier scalp and, consequently, healthier hair.


How do I exfoliate my scalp?

To use the Voduz exfoliate on a dry scalp, apply the exfoliant directly to any areas with buildup or that are particularly difficult. Make sure to massage the product into your scalp for 2-3 minutes to ensure it's working effectively. After exfoliating, continue with your usual hair care routine in the shower. This process helps to remove dead skin cells and maintain a healthy scalp.


Why is exfoliating your scalp essential?

Maintaining a healthy pH balance is crucial for both your hair and scalp. One of the key factors is ensuring your scalp's pH level stays between 4.5 and 5.5. Using the Voduz Scalp Scrub, an essential product, can help rebalance your scalp's pH, promoting healthier hair and scalp overall.


What can I use for my sensitive scalp?

Oiling the scalp with a massage technique can help minimize scalp sensitivity, especially when dealing with tight hairstyles or while sleeping. To further reduce irritation, consider using a satin pillowcase and a gentle mixed-bristle hairbrush. Additionally, applying a scalp scrub that contains soothing agents can provide relief and support a healthier scalp. This routine helps protect your scalp from stress and keeps it comfortable.


I am losing hair from my scalp, what do I do?

The first step should be to get your blood work checked to rule out any underlying health issues that could be contributing to hair loss.


Next, visit a Pelo Hair Salon who can use a 3D scalp camera to create a tailored plan for addressing hair loss. For more personalised advice, you can also DM me as I am a trichologist who specialises in scalp concerns.


Additionally, incorporating the Voduz scalp scrub into your routine can help by penetrating the hair follicles, stimulating the scalp, and promoting healthy hair growth.


Thank you to Denise for sharing this very useful information.


I believe the Clear it Exfoliating Scrub has helped reduce the inflammation and itching that I have suffered with for years. I would like to be clear that it has not cured my psoriasis but it has helped lessen the effects and given me more confidence.


I use the scrub twice a week with the Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner. If you would like to try any of the Voduz Products you can use my discount code DIGG15 for 15% off any full-price products.


I would love to know if you have seen any benefits. Send me a message on social @diggmama.


Love,

Caroline AKA Digg Mama
