French term or phrase: soin de dépôt
this is for a newsletter for a chain of hair treatment salons, who offer things like hair replacement etc and treat hair loss. CA french.


"Vous ferez de même avec votre client en procédant à l’analyse de son cuir chevelu, pour ensuite effectuer un bon nettoyage (i.e. soin de dépôt). Vous lui donnerez des informations sur l’importance de prendre soin de son cuir chevelu régulièrement, et vous proposerez un suivi préventif afin de maintenir sa bonne santé capillaire."

It probably means 'buildup' or removing buildup, but I'm not especially knowledgeable about this field. I looked at their website but haven't found this specific term yet.

Thanks for any help!!!

Reducing / Eliminating Build-up
Explanation:
Build up to me would mean the build up of silica or other chemicals that lots of hair care companies talk about all the time, for which they recommend clarifying shampoos or shampoos without silicone derivatives etc.

We don't usually say "Care for buildup" as the French seems to be able to get away with, but "reduce" or "eliminate" are the most realistic we could use in this situation IMO.

"Silica causes many of the same effects on the hair as calcium. It causes hair to feel dry, lack volume, and can cause dandruff-like symptoms of flaking. Build-up of silica can choke the hair follicle causing hair to fall out."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_care
"...Unfortunately, silicone-based hair products still get bad press in the hair-care world. They can build up on the hair and create a waterproof layer...A clarifying shampoo is needed to remove silicone buildup."

No nothing to do with the scalp. The residue or build up accumulates on the hair as the Silicone or other chemicals coat the outer surface of the hair shaft. This is what a clarifying shampoo is for.

No nothing to do with the scalp. The residue or build up accumulates on the hair as the Silicone or other chemicals coat the outer surface of the hair shaft. This is what a clarifying shampoo is for.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Clarifying the hair to remove conventional and natural product build-up does not have to be done with a harsh shampoo designed for that purpose. Switching products can REDUCE OR ELIMINATE BUILD-UP TOO."
  • "Because of its unique cleaning properties, baking soda can be used occasionally to "clarify" hair to ELIMINATE BUILDUP from commercial shampoos and conditioners."
