TAKE CARE OF YOUR SCALP, IF YOU WANT AMAZING HAIR
đđđđ
You probably donât think too much about your scalp.
Why would you?
Itâs hidden 100% of the time (if you still have hair).
However, you should care a lot about your scalp.
Itâs the root cause of all your hair greatness and failures.
Letâs discuss how your scalp affects your hair.
The scalp is responsible for maintaining the health of your hair follicles and the hair that grows out of them. Keeping follicles as healthy as possible ensures strong hair growth and strands.
The condition of your hair is often a reflection of your overall health.
Eat well, exercise, drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, and reduce stress in your life.
Living well and staying healthy will result in a healthier scalp and thus, better hair.
THE PROBLEM CHILD: DANDRUFF
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES DANDRUFF?đ§
Believe it or not, some people donât have it. While others think its a bad joke.
About 50% of people in their twenties have dandruff, while 2/3 of all people âsufferâ from dandruff at one point in their lives.
Dandruff typically shows up as white, flakes that scatter on the skin and sometimes your neck and shirts.
These flakes are dead skin cells that have been shed from your scalp.
A common misconception is dry skin causes dandruff. This however, is not true.
If you are part of the 50% suffering from dandruff, you can thank a small fungus called âMalassezia Globosaâ.
Malassezia Globosa is the major culprit in causing dandruff.
The root cause of dandruff is the single-celled microbe Malassezia Globosa, which exists on everyoneâs scalp.
Around 50% of peopleâs bodies have a negative reaction to the presence of this fungus. It feeds on scalp oils.
The natural oils on your scalp, known as sebum, are key requirements to fuel the dandruff-causing microbe.
Malassezia feeds off these oils, breaking it down into by products, including oleic acid.
This is where dandruff starts.
More than half of the world is sensitive to oleic acid.
If youâre one of the 50% of people in the world sensitive to oleic acid, youâll probably experience dandruff.
The body reacts to the presence of oleic acid by increasing the speed at which your skin cells renew.
Itâs an attempt to âshedâ the irritant and is the mechanism that causes flakes.
The result is dead skin cells accumulate on the scalp and become visible in your hair and fall off onto your shoulders.
Looking for the best shampoo for dry scalp or the most effective way to take care of dandruff can be exhausting.
