You're not sure what your scalp is or where to even start looking. Please refer to the article below
How to determine your scalp type
As with your facial skin, it's best to consult with a professional or board-certified dermatologist to help best determine the type of skin you're dealing with on your scalp. But there are some characteristics to look out for that can help you identify your scalp when you can't see a professional. Check them out below.
How to tell if you have dry scalp
Do you find your scalp is often itchy and uncomfortable? Does your scalp often appear flaky? If you answered yes to these questions then you are most likely experiencing dry scalp. Not to be confused with dandruff, dry scalp is marked by a lack of moisture. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, sebaceous glands exist in the skin to lubricate and help moisturize wherever hair follicles are located. They do this through the production of sebum. A dry scalp produces too little sebum, which causes irritation, flaking, and can often be the cause of dry hair (because sebum from the scalp helps moisturize the hair).
How to tell if you have an oily scalp
This may seem easier to identify, but you may mistake product buildup for oil. Furthermore, an oily scalp can be prone to dandruff, which many people think is a problem of a dry scalp. If you notice that your hair feels greasy throughout the day even after shampooing, to the point where your hair feels heavy and flat, you may have an oily scalp. Excessive sebaceous glands on the scalp can lead to excess sebum, making the scalp and hair greasy. And if you react by washing your hair too much, it can cause your scalp to produce more oil to replace what's been removed. Although you want your scalp to produce some oil, too much oil can make it difficult to nourish and style your hair.
How to identify acne-prone scalp
Of course you're familiar with facial acne, maybe you're even familiar with back and chest acne, but what about scalp acne? Yes that's true. And acne on the scalp is not only annoying and irritating, but can also be caused by a number of factors, including hormones and excess oil production. According to the Mayo Clinic, hormonal changes in adolescence can cause the skin to produce more oil, including on the scalp. When that oil mixes with dead skin cells and clogs hair follicles, it can become acne. So, if you have an oily scalp that often leads to small red pimples on your head, then you most likely have acne.
How to tell if your scalp is sensitive or not
Just like you have sensitive skin on your face, you may have sensitive skin on your scalp. According to a study from the National Center for Biotechnology Information, signs of a sensitive scalp can include anything from stinging, burning, stinging, dry scalp and discomfort. You may experience some stinging or stinging when brushing your hair if you have a sensitive scalp. This can prevent you from washing, moisturizing, and styling your hair regularly.
How to care for your scalp
Luckily, whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or acne-prone scalp, there is a hair care system that will help you properly care for your scalp and its special concerns. Although identifying your scalp is an important step in providing the nutrients you need to keep your scalp and hair healthy, it is only the first step. If you find yourself dealing with dryness, inflammation, or other scalp problems, seek the help of a dermatologist to better understand what's going on with your skin and make a plan. treatment plan and address your specific concerns.
