Scalp Basics

What Is the Scalp?

The scalp refers to the skin that covers the skull, where your hair grows.

How Does Hair Grow?

Hair grows from the follicle, pushing through the scalp.

A well-nourished, balanced scalp environment is key to providing your hair with the essential nutrients it needs to grow strong and healthy.

What Are Your Roots?

The roots refer to the part of the hair that is located beneath the surface of the skin within the hair follicle.

What Is a Follicle?

Hair follicles are tiny pockets in the skin where hair grows from.

Each follicle has its own blood supply, which delivers nutrients and oxygen to the hair root.

Why Is Scalp Health Important?

The only living part of the hair is in the scalp, so it needs to be properly looked after.

A well-nourished scalp ensures that hair receives the essential nutrients it needs to grow strong and healthy.

A clean, balanced scalp environment free from excessive oil, dirt, and buildup is essential for optimal hair growth.

What Are Signs of a Healthy Scalp?

  • No flakes or dandruff visible on the scalp or in the hair.
  • No excessive itching or irritation.
  • Hair feels soft, strong, and manageable.
  • Scalp is neither too dry nor too oily.

Hair and Scalp Problems

Dull Hair

What Causes Dullness?

Hair dullness can result from damage to the outer layer (cuticle), lack of moisture, product buildup, nutritional deficiencies, genetics, or aging.

How Does Scalp Health Help Reduce Dullness?

A balanced scalp microbiome is crucial for preventing issues like dandruff and inflammation, which can contribute to dullness.

Oil

What Causes Oiliness?

An unhealthy scalp environment can lead to an overproduction of sebum. Too much sebum causes the hair to have a greasy or oily appearance.

How Does Scalp Health Help Reduce Oiliness?

A healthy scalp maintains an optimal level of sebum production, which is the natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands.

Dandruff

What Is Dandruff?

Dandruff is white or yellowish flakes on the scalp caused by the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp.

Dandruff can be caused by factors such as excess oil, dryness, or fungal overgrowth.

How Does Scalp Health Help Reduce Dandruff?

A well balanced, moisturized, and cleansed scalp decreases and prevents dandruff.

Frizz

What Causes Frizz?

Frizz is often caused by a lack of moisture in the hair, which can be exacerbated by factors like humidity, damage to the hair cuticle, and rough handling.

How Does Scalp Health Help Reduce Frizz?

A healthy scalp reduces frizz because it promotes better hair growth and oil distribution.

A well-moisturized scalp produces natural oils that help condition the hair, keeping it hydrated and less prone to frizz.

Additionally, a healthy scalp supports stronger hair follicles, reducing breakage and frizz-causing damage.

Irritation

How Does Scalp Health Help Reduce Irritation?

A healthy scalp can reduce the causes of irritation, such as excessive sebum production, dead skin cells, and buildup that can clog pores.

How Does Irritation Affect Hair Appearance?

Scratching can cause hair breakage and damage to the hair shaft, split ends, and overall hair fragility.

Dryness

How Does Scalp Health Help Reduce Dryness?

Dry scalp is often a sign that the skin’s natural moisture defenses are damaged.

In healthy skin, cells work to keep moisture locked in so that the skin stays properly hydrated.

How Does Dryness Affect Hair Appearance?

Dry hair lacks moisture and natural oils, causing it to appear dull and lifeless.

Dry hair is also more prone to tangling, breakage, frizz, and flyaways.
