A sensitive scalp can cause itching and irritation. Factors such as air pollution, stress, and even overuse of hair products can lead to scalp sensitivity. To effectively treat scalp sensitivity, you need to establish a regular and appropriate care routine.
So, why does this sensitivity occur and what kind of care should be applied? The answer is in our article!
What causes scalp sensitivity?
A sensitive scalp can have several causes. When there is an imbalance in the sebum production of the scalp, which is the natural oil found in the scalp, the scalp can become irritated. As a result, discomfort, redness, and itching may begin on the scalp.
Air pollution is also cited as a cause of scalp problems. Dust and smoke in the air coat the hair with harmful substances. These substances accumulate on the scalp, leading to irritation.
Stress can also be a cause of scalp sensitivity. When we are stressed, we tend to touch our hair and scalp more. In advanced cases, we may even develop habits like scratching our scalp. These habits can also lead to scalp sensitivity.
What factors cause scalp sensitivity?
The following factors can also be considered among the causes of scalp sensitivity:
- Irregular eating habits
- Using harsh shampoos
- Avoid washing your hair too much.
- Excessive use of hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners
- The scalp cannot breathe.
- Pool chlorine and sea salt
