Fabric of Hair Investigates: Scalp Health 🧐

Humans are complex organisms. So complex, even, that the average adult human is made up of over 100 trillion microbes, tiny single-celled organisms that form symbiotic relationships with larger, more sophisticated organisms.

The billions and trillions of microbes combine to form a “microbiome,” which are found throughout our bodies - especially in our guts, stomachs, and skin. These are the habitats in which our microbes live. And, believe it or not, the health of our microbiomes determines how healthy we are as human beings.

If you want to learn how your scalp microbiome affects your overall health, and how you can prevent common skin and scalp conditions like flaking, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

Lets take a deep dive into everything there is to know about the scalp microbiome and how you can “hack” it to maintain a healthy scalp and stay dandruff-free.

The Micro..
The scalp microbiome is a community of simple organisms that grow on the skin on top of your head. In this habitat, a diverse mix of bacteria must work together, and each do their part to contribute to your scalp health. If the delicate balance is thrown off, you can develop unfortunate skin conditions like flaking, itching, and irritation.

Similarly, when your scalp’s microbiota are out of whack, you can develop rashes, flaking of the scalp, itchy skin, androgenetic alopecia, and more.

The good news is, it’s easy to take good care of your scalp and skin microbiome with the right set of products.

Dandruff and The Microbiome
Scientific studies have confirmed that dandruff and the scalp microbiome are intimately connected. Even individual hair follicles have microbiomes.

Scalp Structure 101
It is important to find out what the scalp is and why its microbiome is important. Otherwise, it’s difficult to understand, what’s going on in your head and how the bacterial cultures that grow they’re relate to dandruff conditions like flaking, dry scalp, and oily scalp.

The microbiota of the scalp is unlike any other microbiome on the body, even the rest of your skin microbiota. Due to the high volume of vitamin-rich sebum production in the sebaceous glands and the unusually humid environment, the scalp gives rise to cutaneous bacteria, genomes, biofilm, pathogens, and microbes that aren’t found anywhere else.

If you’ve come down with a bout of dry scalp, flaking, or a related dandruff condition that’s left your head itchy and uncomfortable.
Chances are, there’s an underlying problem with your scalp microbiome. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to enhance the state of your scalp microbiome and relieve the symptoms of your condition. 💛💛💛💛💛
