Kerastase Masque Hydra-Apaisant Soothing & Hydrating Scalp Mask for Sensitive Scalps 200 ml/6.76 oz
Sensitive scalps are their own category. Products that suit the lengths can leave the roots feeling tight and reactive, and most masks are designed for hair rather than skin. This 200 ml silicone-free mask from Kerastase is built the other way round.
It goes on the scalp, not the lengths, and the formula is aimed at how a dry, sensitive scalp feels rather than at conditioning hair. Comfort is the measure. Skin that feels tight after washing settles down, and because there is no silicone in it, nothing is left sitting up there afterwards.
Section the hair, apply along the partings, leave it the few minutes it needs and rinse thoroughly. Follow with your usual conditioner on the lengths if they want it, since this one will not do that job for you.
Any curl pattern works here, from loose waves to defined coils, because it is your scalp being treated and not your texture. Use it on the washes where your scalp is complaining rather than as a fixed weekly step.

Application tips
Shampoo first and squeeze the water out, because a mask laid over a soaked head slides straight off the skin.
Part in rows about an inch apart and lay a line of product along each one, then press it in with the pads of the fingers. Cover the whole scalp, including the nape, which everyone forgets. Give it the few minutes the pack asks for and rinse until nothing is left. Once or twice a week.
Results
Washing usually leaves a sensitive scalp feeling drawn for an hour afterwards. That stage largely does not happen here, and the skin settles instead of prickling.
No film gets left behind, so the partings stay clear and the root keeps its natural movement rather than going flat. The lengths go untouched by it, which means whatever you normally put on them behaves exactly as it usually does.
