Scalp Therapy
Dandruff can be considered as a localized dermatitis and is characterized by excessive flaking. Normally flaking of the scalp occurs to slough off flattened dead cells, but sometimes the process becomes intense in the presence of both oily and dry hair. Depending on the 2 cases there can be greasy horny scales or dry horny scales that leave no trace. It can last for long periods, regress or continue for one’s entire life if not treated. Some cosmetic habits like the use of aggressive products may make the problem worse. Damage from dandruff manifests itself on the hair, causing it to fall out, and on the scalp, with itching and infections.
Seborrhea is the first stage of true seborrheic dermatitis. The flaking is minimal at first, almost invisible. As time goes by, influenced by some aggravating stimuli, the problem increases and manifests itself with hair loss, abundant flaking, with the pres- ence of scabs and terrible itching. Some microorganisms, incorrect treatments, the use of unsuitable products, too energetic scalp massages, frequent brushing that causes yanking on the hair and scalp may cause seborrhea. The damage shows up on the hair, which falls out, on the scalp, which itches and has more or less extensive infections and, naturally, it affects a person’s appearance.
Hair Loss is when the physiological hair re- placement becomes excessive and you lose more than 100 hairs per day, widespread or circumscribed areas of rarefaction of a tempo- rary or permanent nature may occur. Excessive production of sebum may aid the onset of the problem, but a certain hereditary predisposition must always be considered.
Underlying the hair loss can be lack of the nutritional substances needed for hair to grow. The stress often associated with abundant hair loss should be avoided. Among the causes of hair loss we find environmental ones, due to chemical pollution, and seasonal ones. Excessive hair washing with aggressive products facilitates hair loss.
