In order to offer a tailor-made hair care product, it may be useful to first carry out an analysis of the scalp, the lifeblood of the hair.
Indeed, the role of the scalp is essential to the beauty and health of the hair. In the same way that fertile soil allows a plant to grow and flourish, the scalp nourishes and protects the hair.
A healthy scalp is a promise of strong, shiny hair.
The expert’s view
Back in the 1950s, when everyone was only interested in the outward appearance of the hair, René Furterer was the first to realize that everything happens on the inside: in the scalp.
Hair is an inert material whose source of life is found in the scalp. If the scalp is healthy, the hair is healthy. However, if the scalp suffers from a lack of energy, or if it is overactive, all of the hair is weakened.
To complete the scalp study, René Furterer uses an exclusive diagnostic tool: the Capilliscope. Its objective is to scientifically determine the nature and condition of the scalp and hair in order to recommend the appropriate care for the problem encountered.
Putting the scalp under the microscope
The scalp can first be analyzed by means of a visual examination. The specialist then observes the condition of the scalp. Is there dandruff or irritation?
