At the same time accompanied by burning sensation, itching, grease particles / oil scab;
Even inflammation, long packets, hair loss …
What should I do with disturbing scalp and hair problems?
Look down!
The most useless “oil”-head oil
The scalp is connected to the facial skin. For people with oily skin, the secretion of the oil glands of the scalp is also relatively strong; in addition to this, some daily behavior habits become “fuse”:
- Frequent shampooing
Frequent shampooing will also take away the oil that protects the scalp, and the sebum will receive a signal of “oil shortage”, further increasing the secretion of oil.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to wash your head 2-3 times a week. If you have oily skin, you can wash it every other day.
- Diet and work problems
Love to eat greasy, spicy, high sugar, high protein and other foods will make the sebaceous glands more active and secrete more oil;
Staying up late, lack of sleep, and excessive mental stress can cause endocrine disorders, and it is strange that no oil is produced.
Suggestions: develop good eating habits, eat more fruits and vegetables; and regular rest time to ensure a good sleep and a happy mood.
Oil removal tips-egg white liquid
“Compendium of Materia Medica” records: the hair is greasy, the chicken is painted in vain, and it is washed away a few times, the gloss is not dry. Apply fresh egg white to the scalp and wash it later, to remove oil and moisturize the scalp.
Method: You can take out the egg white, rub it lightly with your hands, and then rub it directly on the scalp. Use it as a shampoo.
The most embarrassing “snow”-dandruff
If you have dandruff, flick it gently, “Flying in the sky”, others give you only disgusting eyes …
In fact, everyone has dandruff, but generally fine particles of less than 0.02 millimeters off visually observed, if the visible gray, small crumbs appeared white, it would have to look for reasons of:
- Head chips are "true and false "
①Pseudodandruff
It is due to the change of seasons, or the use of poor-quality toiletries, or it may be caused by chemical residues during hot dyeing, but the scalp will not itch, and generally only affects the appearance.
②True dandruff
By the Malassezia overproduction caused.
Fungal overgrowth will not only stimulate the scalp cells, resulting in secretion of oil; protective barrier can cause damage to the scalp of oleic acid , so that the accumulation of dead skin cells, dandruff formation.
Studies have found that the number of Malassezia bacteria on the surface of the scalp increases by 1.5-2 times in people with dandruff symptoms!
Not only is the problem of dandruff, Malassezia will bring itching, so often cause nail infections due to scratching while contaminated fingernails scratching other normal skin, can cause skin fungal infections , such as spotted moss.
- The technique of anti-bacteria
For dandruff caused by Malassezia, we can use shampoo with antifungal function-containing ketoconazole, selenium disulfide, zinc pyrithione, clomiprazole, piroctone ethanolamine salt, salicylate Acid and other ingredients.
“Baldness” is coming-hair loss
Now hair loss has become the heart disease of modern people, not only the middle-aged and the elderly, but also joined the hair loss list after the 80s and 90s.
In order to prevent hair loss, many people do everything they can, but if they ca n’t figure out why they are losing hair, how can they be effectively prevented?
- Types of hair loss

Mental stress is too large, capillary transport of nutrients to the hair follicles shrink, causing local blood circulation , cause hair ecological change and malnutrition, the hair is easy to fall off.

A lot a lot of hair after giving birth out of some women, menopausal women increasingly sparse hair also appeared, which are endocrine disorders blame.
In addition, patients with diabetes, thyroid disease, etc., endocrine abnormalities, hair loss can also occur.

Seborrheic alopecia is more common in men, and the age of onset is generally between 20-50 years old.
It is seborrhea excess lead, and often accompanied by oily scalp, increased dandruff, itching obvious symptoms.

If you wash your hair incorrectly, your hair will be easier to take off
Whether you want to remove oil, dandruff, or anti-off, the first step is to wash your hair first. Many people think: I grow up so big, can’t I wash my head? Maybe it won’t. Look at the following misunderstandings?
- Scratching is cleaner?
Excessive force on the scalp can damage the scalp, which can lead to infections and make the scalp problem worse. In addition, it may cause the hair to fall off due to pulling.
The right way: in the palm rub out the bubbles and then wipe the hair with finger pulp moderately to massage the scalp.
- Apply conditioner to hair roots?
Since the hair follicles are opened during shampooing, the conditioner is applied to the roots of the hair, and the chemicals in them easily penetrate and block the hair follicles.
The correct method: first straighten the hair, apply the hair tips in the direction of the hair tip near the ears, and don’t let the conditioner touch the scalp .
- High temperature water sterilization?
When the scalp is itchy, washing it with hot water will feel very refreshing, as if itching effect is particularly good.
However, if you want to kill Malassezia bacteria, you need more than 80 degrees of water, which is not acceptable to the human body; and too hot water can easily burn the scalp and accelerate the secretion of oil.
It is recommended to wash your hair with a water temperature of about 30 degrees .
- Can ginger cure hair loss?
From the Chinese medicine theory, ginger can assist hair regrowth, but limited role, only for alopecia areata effective hair loss. Alopecia areata is caused by external stimuli such as mental, nervous, and excessive fatigue, and there are also hair follicles, so the use of ginger can produce a stress response.
But for hair loss caused by other factors, your use of ginger may make you lose hair faster.
Three nutrients to help you eat good hair
- protein
Protein is the main component of hair, and intake of sufficient protein helps to ensure the elasticity and smoothness of hair.
Eggs, milk, lean meat, etc. can be supplemented as appropriate.
- Vitamin B
It can promote the metabolism of the scalp and accelerate the growth rate of the hair.
Animal liver, egg yolk, mushrooms, sesame, seaweed, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans and other foods have more B vitamins.
- Vitamin E
Can promote the division of hair mother cells, prevent hair from aging too fast, and promote hair growth.
Vitamin E is widely present in foods such as vegetable oil, blue cabbage, nuts and so on.
Sensitive scalp Q & A
Why are sensitive scalp and seborrheic dermatitis common in boys?
A: Androgens are high, there is a lot of oil secretion, and there is genetic susceptibility. This cannot be changed. Also, boys have short hair and lack of protection on the scalp and are more likely to be affected by the external environment. In addition, some boys are less jiang (wei) sheng, which is wrong.
The milder the surface activity, the less irritating the shampoo?
Answer: No. Strong surface activity and large amounts of siloxane are often present at the same time. One of the major characteristics of shampoos containing a large amount of silicone is that they feel warm and easy to swallow, often giving the illusion that the cleaning power is not strong.
Write at the end
-
The composition list of shampoo does not mean everything. A good product should have ingredients and processes that promote each other and complement each other. Aside from the process, just talking about the ingredients and the process of putting aside the ingredients will not work.
-
If you want to find a bottle of shampoo that suits you, you still have to try it for yourself. Just looking at the ingredients list will not solve the problem.
-
Rather than struggling with a few tenths of a percent on the composition table, it is better to think about how to relax your emotions and how to adjust your schedule. The shampoo is only an external force to improve the scalp, which is far from decisive.
Finally, I emphasize again that if the scalp sensitivity is beyond the control, please go to the hospital in time for medical treatment . Including, but not limited to, dandruff is super much, the big pustule is bleeding, and the itch is so desperate.
