Thank you for always using ARUKAS HAIR Cupertino
Continuing from last time, today's topic is about scalp care
The subject for today is 『Dandruff』
Although it's not something we usually associate with good health, dandruff actually occurs in everyone, regardless of their overall health
Dandruff is the waste product that comes out of the scalp, similar to the dirt that comes out of the skin.
Human skin has a turnover function that renews itself approximately every six weeks, and the scalp functions the same way.
During turnover, the old keratin of the scalp that has aged falls off and becomes dandruff.
The dandruff that occurs during normal turnover is very small, so it is usually not noticeable and can be removed with regular shampooing.
However, for certain reasons, the balance of sebum and the normal bacteria on the scalp, known as Malassezia, can become unbalanced, causing the turnover to become disrupted and resulting in a large amount of keratin shedding and thus dandruff.
There are two types of "Dandruff"
・ Dry Dandruff
Dry and flaky dandruff.
Excessive shampooing or the use of strong cleansing shampoos can cause excess removal of the scalp's natural oils.
People with naturally dry skin are more prone to dry scalp and dry dandruff.
Improvement: Be mindful of moisturizing!
If you have dry dandruff, your scalp may be dry, so try reducing the frequency of shampooing or switching to a gentler shampoo
Many shampoos sold in stores are known as "high-end alcohol-based shampoos",
which are inexpensive,
have strong cleansing power, and good foaming properties.
For those prone to dryness, I recommend using
"amino acid-based shampoos" or "betaine-based shampoos"
Additionally, using a moisturizing lotion for the scalp is also recommended
・ Oily Dandruff
Slightly yellowish-white and moist dandruff.
The cause is due to insufficient shampooing, inadequate rinsing, or excessive secretion of sebum.
People with oily skin are also prone to oily dandruff.
Improvement: If you are shampooing less frequently, increase the frequency, or try using a shampoo with strong cleansing properties.
Alternatively, shampoos containing anti-fungal ingredients(such as tea tree oil components) are also recommended.
There may also be residue left after shampooing, so be sure to rinse thoroughly.
Also, it is important to pay attention to a diet rich in antibacterial ingredients such as Vitamin B2 and Vitamin B6.
You cannot see your scalp every day like your skin, but it is as important as your skin.
Like skin, it can also get sunburned and can cause inflammation.
Just as we apply toner, moisturizer, and serum to our skin after washing our face, don't you think our scalp needs more care than just washing?
There are many benefits to having healthy hair after 1 year, 5 years, or even 10 years.
You can enjoy hair color for a long time, or enjoy changes with perms for years to come.
To achieve that, let's take proper care of our scalp
Next time, I'll introduce one recommended scalp care item at a time
