How to recognize oily scalp?
Hair:
• Hair looks dull and lifeless most of the times.
• Hair fall.
• Dandruff stuck on the hair.
Cause:
• Excess sebum (skin’s natural oils). Sebum acts as a layer of protection to keep the scalp from losing moisture and drying out. But too much sebum can leave your scalp and hair greasy. Oily scalp can cause scalp acne or dandruff.
• Sweat and moistened scalp lead to dandruff.
• Dust and dirt may cling to your hair and compromises its hygiene. Malassezia, a fungus, thrives in oily areas of the scalp and can further aggravate dandruff symptoms.
How to recognize dry scalp?
Hair:
• Dry and frizzy.
• Split ends.
• Excessive hair breakage and loss.
• Dandruff on your shoulders.
Cause:
• Overexpose to sun, using harsh shampoos and chemical treatment (perm, coloring, bleaching).
• Blow dry with hot air.
• Dry weather or dry place.
