Dandruff only complains about shampoo. Have you ever cared about the health of the scalp?

Sunscreen, no part of it.

Moisturizer, no part of it.

Cleaning products do have their share.

People always pay some attention to the scalp when there is a lot of dandruff or oil, but the top priority of "scalp health", I don't think hundreds of millions of people will seriously consider it.

What's a healthy scalp like?

1. No visible dandruff

2. No itching sensation

3. The scalp is relaxed and tight.

4. Can stay refreshed for a long time

Well, at present, is it possible to withdraw from the article at four o'clock? no, it is also crucial to maintain the status quo. if you do not give it a little love, there will be petty oil to settle accounts in the future.

An unhealthy scalp

Dandruff can be divided into physiological dandruff and pathological dandruff. Physiological dandruff is a mixture of aging keratinocytes of the scalp, sebum of the scalp and dust in the air. It generally appears alone, and the scalp is not itchy or red. It is not a skin disease and is a normal phenomenon.

Pathological dandruff needs to be treated for the primary disease.

Pityriasis scalp: fungal infection; characterized by massive dandruff + itching of the scalp.

Seborrheic dermatitis: inflammation of the scalp; characterized by dandruff, itchy scalp and more oil.

Psoriasis: inflammation of the scalp, because a few occur in the head and need to be distinguished from other skin diseases; characterized by dandruff, redness of the scalp and bundles of hair.

How to choose the right product according to these situations

Fungal infection: zinc pyrithione (ZPT), pyridone ethanolamine salt, selenium disulfide, ketoconazole and clomibazol can effectively inhibit Malassezia or cell growth and play a role in removing dandruff.

Ketoconazole and climbazole are easy to produce drug resistance, so long-term use is not recommended to avoid losing the anti-dandruff effect.

Scalp inflammation: salicylic acid, coal tar and sulfur.

Salicylic acid is one of the most prominent anti-dandruff ingredients, so anti-dandruff products containing salicylic acid can be used for scalp inflammation.

Coal tar and sulfur smell bad, and they are not very prominent in anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory aspects, so such products are relatively rare.

How to choose shampoo

Here, only surfactants and active ingredients are selected.

People with more dandruff and more oil can choose shampoo products that contain the functional ingredients mentioned in the previous paragraph according to their own situation.

Secondly, consider products such as SLES (sodium lauryl alcohol polyether sulfate) and SLS (sodium lauryl alcohol sulfate), which have stronger cleaning ability and generally mix other surface activities to neutralize the irritation, so you need to take a look at the composition table.

Give priority to SLES watch activity.

Add polysorbate-80, coconut oil-based betaine and other surface activities

It is also equipped with salicylic acid and sulfur.

People with healthy scalp can choose shampoo based on amino acid watch activity, which is weaker in cleaning ability, but milder and suitable for daily use.

What should I do if the scalp is oily and hair is dry?

Choose shampoo products with strong cleaning ability and use conditioner. Considering that it may not rinse cleanly, it is more appropriate to apply 1-2 cm away from the hair root to avoid smearing the conditioner directly on the scalp.

Perm and dye your hair

The potions used for perming contain alkaline ingredients and oxidants. Perming too frequently will destroy the surface of the hair. It is recommended to adjust the perm cycle according to your own situation.

The moving picture comes from SOOGIF.

The p-phenylenediamine ingredient in the hair dye is an allergen, and some people may have contact dermatitis after using it. For the health of the scalp, it is recommended to tell the hairdresser not to let the hair dye touch the scalp directly before dyeing.

Sunscreen

Putting sunscreen on your scalp is not very scientific. Wearing a sunscreen hat or sunscreen umbrella is the best choice when you go out. Ultraviolet rays will have no weaker effect on your scalp than your facial skin.

What else do you need to pay attention to in daily shampoo?

Do not scratch with your fingernails when washing your hair. Although it can bring temporary pleasure, it is a kind of injury to the scalp. It is enough to clean your belly with your fingers.

It is also an error demonstration, and the moving picture comes from SOOGIF.

Do not overheat the water temperature, it is recommended to control at about 40 degrees Celsius, to avoid stimulating the already unhealthy scalp, so that more oil secretion, more dandruff.

Summary

Healthy people will continue to maintain, should pay more attention to more.

Unhealthy people should be treated as soon as possible and continue to maintain after successful treatment. May everyone have a healthy start.
