Stylists these days do much more than color, extensions, and blow-dry. Your stylist is on a mission to ensure your hair looks its best and that begins with a healthy scalp! During a cut and/or salon treatment, a stylist should inspect your scalp for overall changes that might impact healthy hair growth.
Scalp skin is no different than the skin on the rest of your body – it consists of three layers of tissue. The lower layers are the healthiest, newest tissue produced by your body, while the outermost layer, the epidermis, consists of cells that are mostly dead tissue. The epidermis sheds to reveal the newer layers of skin beneath and the cycle repeats. Along with hair follicles, the skin on your scalp contains sebaceous glands, which produce the oil necessary to keep the skin on your scalp lubricated.
When the scalp is unhealthy there can be a variety of conditions that arise. For example, dandruff is a common problem when the scalp moisture is out-of-balance; either too oily or too dry. Scalp psoriasis occurs when skin doesn’t shed properly and builds up, causing red patches (yes, it can happen on your scalp too!).
There are a number of ways to keep your scalp healthy – Diet, staying out of the sun, minimizing chemical treatments, and not using over the counter hair care products. Shampooing your hair regularly with a professional-grade shampoo and conditioner also can keep your scalp properly cleansed and provide an optimum environment. that’s where Ethica Beauty comes in!
