Is Your Scalp Sabotaging Your Hair? How to Identify Common Scalp Issues

Have you ever wondered why your hair doesn't look as healthy as it should, despite using good products?


The problem might not be your hair at all

it could be your scalp.

A healthy scalp is the foundation for great hair, but it’s often overlooked in our busy lives.

Here’s how to recognise common scalp issues that could be holding your hair back.

Common Scalp Issues to Look Out For

  1. Flaky or Dry Scalp

    • Why It Happens: Dryness can be caused by environmental factors like weather or harsh hair products. It can lead to discomfort, irritation, and flakiness.

    • Impact on Hair: A dry scalp can weaken your hair roots, making your hair brittle and prone to breakage.

  2. Oily Scalp

    • Why It Happens: An oily scalp can be due to overactive sebaceous glands, stress, or even overwashing your hair.

    • Impact on Hair: Excess oil can lead to greasy, flat hair and clogged follicles, hindering healthy hair growth.

  3. Itchy Scalp

    • Why It Happens: Itchiness may be caused by allergic reactions, dryness, or even an underlying scalp condition.

    • Impact on Hair: Persistent itching can damage your scalp and weaken hair follicles, leading to thinning.
