What should I consider if I have a sensitive scalp or react to fragrances before using this conditioner?

If your scalp is prone to irritation or you are sensitive to fragranced cosmetics, start with a patch test before full use. Apply a small amount of the conditioner to the inner forearm or behind the ear, leave it for 15‑20 minutes, then rinse. Wait 24 hours to see if any redness, itching or discomfort appears. Because the formula contains birch extract and nettle extract—both common in Northern and Eastern European hair care—they can still trigger reactions in sensitive individuals. In the absence of a reaction, you can still minimize scalp exposure by focusing the product on the mid‑lengths and ends, especially on days when your hair feels less tangled. Avoid contact with the eyes; if irritation occurs, rinse immediately with water. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the plant ingredients. If you experience any adverse response, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if needed. For very sensitive scalps, using the conditioner only once a week or alternating with a fragrance‑free rinse may help maintain benefits while reducing irritation risk.
