What is scalp pH balance and why does it matter?
The optimal pH of the scalp lies within a slightly acidic range (approximately 4.5–5.5). This environment supports the skin’s natural barrier, helps retain moisture, and inhibits the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
When this balance is disrupted—due to harsh hair care products, hard water, stress, hormonal fluctuations, or environmental pollution—the scalp loses its protective function. Altered pH may manifest as dryness, excessive oiliness, dandruff, and itching. If left unaddressed, chronic imbalance can contribute to hair thinning and increased susceptibility to scalp infections.
How the procedure works
The ORISING pH restoration protocol is designed to achieve optimal scalp health by rebalancing and revitalizing both scalp and hair through normalization of physiological pH levels. This helps prevent common issues such as dryness and себum imbalance, promoting healthier and more resilient hair.
The protocol consists of several sequential stages:
Deep scalp cleansing
A clarifying phase using ORISING formulations removes buildup, excess sebum, and impurities from the scalp. This creates a clean, balanced environment that enhances absorption of active lotions and supports healthy hair growth.
pH normalization and restoration of the hydrolipid barrier
Specialized formulations restore the scalp’s natural acid–base balance, normalize the hydrolipid mantle, and rebalance the microbiome. Excess sebum often disrupts physiological pH; this step addresses the issue by re-establishing lipid equilibrium.
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action
Botanical components in ORISING formulations provide pronounced anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Key natural ingredients include thyme, calendula, sage, and peppermint—known for their antibacterial, antifungal, and soothing properties. These reduce inflammation, alleviate irritation, and protect skin cells from oxidative stress.
Antibacterial protection
The cleansing action of ORISING products helps control dandruff formation by maintaining physiological pH. Icelandic moss extract, rich in usnic acid, limits the presence of bacteria and yeast associated with dandruff. Burdock extract adds further antifungal and antibacterial support.
Personalized home care selection
Following the procedure, a trichologist–esthetician in Ivano-Frankivsk can recommend a tailored home care regimen based on scalp type and specific concerns.
