How do you recognize that your scalp is out of balance?
The most common sign that something is wrong with the scalp is itching. Scratching can cause sores, and some cosmetic ingredients can cause a burning sensation when they come into contact with irritated skin. You may also notice redness, sensitivity or inflammation on certain parts of the head.
Although dry scalp and dandruff Although they may not seem serious at first glance, they can contribute to hair breakage and even hair loss in the long run. A dry scalp causes itchiness and small to medium-sized flakes, which are often visible on the hair or brush.
Sometimes the structure of the hair changes, the ends become brittle or the hair breaks. If you have oily scalp, pimples or even cysts may appear, and hair often looks greasy and weighed down.
Ingrown hairs can occur in thicker or curly hair, causing infections of the hair follicles.
What causes scalp imbalance?
Until dry scalp often occurs due to external influences such as hot and dry weather, bleaching or coloring the hair. On the other hand, excessive sebum (oil) production from the glands in the scalp leads to oiliness. Surprisingly, this can also be caused by washing too often.
Also nutrition has an impact:
- Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce inflammation and retain moisture in the scalp, which supports hair follicle health and protects against hair loss and breakage. (1*) (2*)
- B vitamins (e.g. B₆, B₁₂, biotin) are essential for the renewal of hair follicle cells; a deficiency leads to dry scalp, dandruff and weaker hair. (2*)
Hormonal fluctuations, certain medications, and stress There are additional internal factors that can worsen the condition.
