How to look after a dehydrated scalp
Your scalp is a delicate ecosystem, a biological environment that requires compassion and purposeful cleansing. When you neglect to care for your scalp’s health, that fragile ecosystem is disrupted, and your scalp can become dry, itchy, and irritated.
Scalp neglect and hair thinning
When the scalp environment is thrown off for long periods, many people with initially healthy hair experience exacerbated hair thinning. Constant care for the scalp is required to have consistently beautiful, lustrous hair and to combat female hair thinning. When you don’t properly care for your scalp, you risk irritation, redness, infections, and inflammation. These symptoms are only part of the consequences of neglecting your scalp. Eventually, an unbalanced scalp ecosystem can transition into hair thinning. A dry scalp can prevent new hair growth because of small skin particles that block your hair follicles. When these follicles are blocked, sebum builds up, limiting hair growth even further and causing a thinning in the individual strands that do grow. A dry scalp can also lead to irritation and the tendency to scratch for relief. Scratching can cause damage to hair follicles, which can also cause thinning hair.
Should I detox my scalp?
At Harklinikken, we caution against scalp detox procedures because they often contain harsh ingredients that can end up doing more damage than good to your delicate scalp skin. If you feel you need a detox, avoid rough scrubs as these can damage your hair strands at the base, compromising future strength, luster, and beauty. Furthermore, detoxes can further disrupt your scalp’s delicate ecosystem, either exacerbating dryness or causing a build-up of oils and sebum in your hair follicles.
