Why You Should Never Neglect Scalp Care

Why is scalp health important? By practising dedicated and routine scalp care, you can improve the condition of your hair and avoid any nuisance scalp irritations like flaky skin and scalp itchiness.  

Hair care seems to get all the attention, but a healthy scalp supports active and robust hair growth, and if hair loss issues run in your family, or you are dealing with hair loss from illness or hormonal changes, you will want to start putting more emphasis on scalp health! 

It’s little wonder we neglect our scalp, it is tucked away under our hair, it’s easy to forget about the scalp until there are scalp skin problems like dandruff or alopecia.

What Are Unhealthy Scalp Symptoms?‍

If you’re wondering whether you need to take some steps towards improving your scalp care, you may be experiencing some of the following issues:

• Itchiness
• Flakiness
• Acne or spots on your scalp
• Abnormal hair loss
• Scalp pain

There are solutions available on the market for people looking to fix scalp issues like redness and skin flakes on the scalp, but there are many individuals who may need more specialised attention, men and women who have underlying skin concerns that exacerbate the condition of their scalps, requiring extra attention and care.

How To Care For Scalp & Hair ‍

If you are simply looking to address minor scalp concerns such as dandruff, itchiness, or lacklustre hair growth, you can try improving your scalp using over-the-counter products like these:

• JVN Hair scalp care oil: a vegan treatment that may nourish the scalp while at the same time adding moisture and nutrition.
• Regrowz Bamboo Hair Brush: this natural brush can be used daily. The bamboo apparently stimulates the scalp to trigger its natural oils, the bamboo is naturally charged. so hair remains smooth, plus bamboo has natural antibacterial properties.
• Typology Anti-Dandruff shampoo with Piroctone olamine 1% + jujube extract: this shampoo is apparently made from 95% naturally-derived ingredients and works to calm the scalp and reduce the fungus that causes dandruff.
• Grow Gorgeous Daily Growth Serum: a product for scalp care and hair growth. It apparently boosts fine and thinning hair and uses a mix of caffeine, organic pea sprout and Chinese Skullcap to revitalise the hair.

Disclaimer: While these are not official Este Medical hair and scalp care products, they are reported to be effective. We do not have clinical data to support these treatments, so we encourage you to conduct further research.

For gentle hair and scalp care on a daily basis we recommend use of Este’s Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo and our EP Healthy Hair Vitamins. 

‍How to Take Care of Scalp Psoriasis

Scalp psoriasis is a common skincare problem and can be treated with off-the-shelf products or prescription-grade treatment from your GP if it’s particularly problematic. Scalp care treatment for this skin condition can include steroids, foams, sprays and lotions.

If you prefer not to use steroids or drugstore products, then Este Medical has a proven and effective alternative. It’s called Exciplex Light Therapy and it uses UVB light to reactivate your body’s immunosuppression process. This hair and scalp treatment is non-invasive, painless, and effective for not only psoriasis but also a variety of other skin concerns.

‍What is Best Hair Care Routine for Dry Scalp?

Dry scalp is a common ailment and most of us have probably found our hands reaching to have a scratch on our heads at some time or another. Dry scalp can be caused due to using a shampoo or products that are too harsh for your skin resulting in contact dermatitis. It can also be caused because of changes in weather, stress, or may even be down to the type of washing powder you use on your pillows.

To ease a dry, irritated scalp you could try the following dry scalp care home tips: 

• Coconut Oil: this moisturising natural oil is a way to add hydration to your scalp. Its antifungal and antibacterial properties give it kudos too. Simply melt a little coconut oil and then apply to your scalp, working in and leaving it for around 10 minutes.. 
• Aloe Vera: this natural remedy is known for its anti-inflammatory properties so it makes sense that it might help an irritated, dry scalp. You can either apply it topically to your scalp and let it sit for around 10 minutes, or you can take aloe vera supplements or try the juice. 
• Tea Tree Oil: if you’ve checked the ingredients of best scalp care shampoo treatments, you’ve probably seen tea tree listed. That’s because it’s a super-power when it comes to antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal abilities. Try mixing a few drops of tea tree oil with a carrier oil like coconut to create your own scalp care oil, leave for 10 minutes, and let your scalp soak up the benefits.

While many people swear by natural herbal remedies, as clinical hair loss and scalp care experts, we cannot guarantee that these at-home treatments are absolutely effective for treating scalp conditions or promoting thicker and longer hair growth.
