How should I introduce this shampoo into my routine to avoid irritation?

Shungite kõõmavastane šampoon, 330ml

Because this shampoo contains active ingredients like birch tar and Karelian shungite, which are designed to actively manage the scalp environment, it is best introduced gradually, especially if you have a sensitive scalp or are new to tar-based products. Sudden introduction of potent natural actives can sometimes lead to unexpected reactions, such as dryness or mild irritation, if the skin is not accustomed to them.

Begin by using the shampoo once or twice a week instead of your daily or every-other-day routine. Pay close attention to how your scalp feels during and after use. If you experience any redness, excessive dryness, or itching, discontinue use immediately. If your scalp tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency of use to match your needs, such as during periods of seasonal change or increased styling product use. Always ensure you rinse the shampoo thoroughly from your hair and scalp to remove all residues, as leftover product can contribute to irritation. If you have a history of skin sensitivities or chronic scalp conditions, consult a dermatologist or specialist before incorporating this product into your regular regimen.
