Welcome to our first article dedicated to scalp care according to the philosophy of seasonal cosmetics. Learn how estheticians and individuals can identify the ideal protocol to restore balance, hair health, and well-being.

The Essential Head Spa PHYTO 5 Experience at the Salon

To start your journey towards a healthy scalp, we highly recommend beginning with a PHYTO 5 Head Spa session at a specialized salon. This professional care serves as an essential introduction to treatment and offers several key benefits:

• Expert scalp diagnosis by a trained professional
• Deep and intensive care that can't be replicated at home
• An immediate sense of well-being and deep relaxation
• Precise identification of your needs according to the 5 elements
• Personalized advice for continuing the treatment at home

This initial salon session maximizes the effectiveness of future treatment. Professionals use specific cranial massage techniques that stimulate circulation, release tension, and allow better penetration of active ingredients. The sensory experience is also unparalleled and greatly contributes to the overall efficacy of the care.

For those interested in training, feel free to contact our PHYTO 5 expert, Marion David, founder of Bohemia Spa.

Head Spa and Scalp Treatment - Episode 1

Choosing the Right Care for Your Scalp Condition

Our unique approach is based on the use of shampoos from seasonal cosmetics, each specifically formulated to meet particular needs:

Wood: Perfect for oily scalps. People who need this shampoo often have blackheads on the face.

Fire: Designed for sensitive and irritated scalps. Ideal for those prone to facial redness.

Earth: Recommended for itching. Particularly effective for people facing skin eruptions.

Metal: Suitable for dry and brittle scalps and hair. Especially advised for those dealing with significant hair loss. Users often have fine lines and sometimes small subcutaneous texture changes detectable by touch.

Water: Ideal for dehydrated scalps and limp hair. People who need this shampoo the most generally have mature skin with wrinkles.

The Art of Alternation

For effective long-term treatment, alternating between product lines is essential. This prevents the scalp from becoming accustomed to products, which could decrease their effectiveness.

Here are the recommended combinations to diversify your treatment:

• Main treatment Wood → Complement Metal
• Main treatment Fire → Complement Water
• Main treatment Earth → Complement Wood
• Main treatment Metal → Complement Fire
• Main treatment Water → Complement Earth

This temporary pause in the core treatment helps maintain its long-term effectiveness.

The Aromatherapeutic Effect

If you seek relaxation and well-being more than specific treatment, the best way to choose your shampoo is to smell the 5 Phyt'Ethers and select the scent that appeals to you the most.

The seasonal cosmetic experience for the scalp is a holistic one that profoundly impacts the body’s well-being and relaxation, accompanying the body towards a healthy and deep balance that yields long-term results. Because the greatest source of beauty is inner harmony.

Special Attention to the Earth Element

Some people experience difficulty choosing a particular scent. This phenomenon is common among individuals with weak grounding, making them less sensitive to sensations and senses in general. Psychologically, these are often people with intense and continuous reflection. In this case, care with Earth products is recommended to rebuild grounding.

Combating Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common issue that can be caused by:

• Excessive pressure on the root
• An excess of Fire (sensitive or dehydrated scalps)

To address this, L'Algoderme, a mineralizing and hydrating mask with a base of algae from the La gamme suisse, is particularly effective. Through osmosis, it restores scalp suppleness and hydration, thus reducing pressure on hair roots. Result: fewer weakened hairs and therefore less hair loss.

Note: This mask contains iodine, so be sure to check for any allergies before use.
