3 Common Types of Scalp Problems

1. Dry or sensitive scalp

Causes

This happens when your scalp’s moisture balance is disrupted. There are many causes such as skin conditions (Psoriasis), ageing (skin getting drier as you age), heredity and hormones. Other external factors include change in weather, lifestyle (eg. diet or smoking), medications and hair products.

Recommended Solutions

  • Sensitive Reduction Treatment

Features

Green tea extract, Spanish licorice root extract and vitamin B5 to soothe and protect scalp barrier.

 

2. Oily or sensitive scalp

Causes

The main cause for oily scalp is excess sebum production due to hormones and skin types. There are also external causes such as the build-up of hair products on the scalp that traps dirt, dust and oil.

Recommended Solutions

  • Sebum Control Treatment
  • Intense Scalp Treatment

Features

Bromelain and salicylic acid to activate cell turnover and dissolve dead skin cells and dirt build-up.

 

3. Dandruff

Causes

Dandruff is a more severe effect of oily scalp. It can also be caused by stress or a lack of rest. Infrequent shampooing of hair, which causes sebum to build up, can also result in dandruff. For more severe cases, sebum and hair product build-up will block hair follicles and lead to hair loss.

Recommended Solutions

  • Dandruff Prevention Treatment
  • Scalp Exfoliation Treatment

Features

Salicylic acid and zinc pyrithione to control sebum production and prevent dandruff formation. Camphor to boost hair growth.
