Healthy Hair Beauty Supply

This is a very important subject to talk about because we often treat our scalp as we do our hair. In turn this can result in lack luster results in terms of hair growth. Just because a hair products work well on one thing, ex. Hair, does not hold true for the scalp. Most people one do not know that your scalp makes its oil and two how much oil your scalp produces via the sebaceous gland is due to hormonal activity. What most people fail to understand is that our hair and scalp are made of the same things. So you should treat your hair and scalp with the same attention as you treat the rest of the skin on your body! Today we will be discovering how to target your hair needs specifically for optimal success. First off we will discuss the scalp, its functions, and what products that are needed to target problems with the scalp. Secondly we will then discuss how to target the hair and deal with the main issues related to healthy hair and how to maintain that healthy hair.

When dealing with the scalp there are categories that the scalp is broken into is, normal, oily, dry, and damaged. This is a general way of categorizing the scalp as it applies to the general public but of course there are more specific variations to this. With normal scalp there is a distinct balance to it as it relates to the oil content that the scalp produces. With a normal scalp the scalp is neither produces nor excess of oil and it is not dry as well. People with this type of scalp generally have straight or wavy hair. The reason that those textures tend to usually have a “normal” scalp is because the oil that the scalp produces via the sebaceous gland has a chance to more evenly flow from the scalp to the ends of the hair unlike tightly coiled hair which helps to trap the oil at the base of the scalp. Even though generally people with a “normal” scalp generally have the straight or wavy hair that does not necessarily have to always be the case. And generally that person with the “normal” hair over processes the hair and/or over washes the scalp runs a high if inevitable risk of becoming dry due to the damage that was inflicted on it. It is suggested that people with a “normal” and hair should use a shampoo and conditioner that with a minimal amount of leave-in conditioning.

The next type of hair would be the oily scalp. Typically the type of texture that would go along with this hair would be the natural African American type of hair which would be tightly coiled hair. The reason as to why our type of hair generally would have the oily type of hair is because the oil that our scalp produces tends to be trapped at the root because our hair texture does not allows for easy distribution down the entire hair shaft thus caused us to have an oil scalp and in adversely having dry hair. This is why most conglomerates have produced a product called hair grease, which was to find a way to impart oil to our hair which would help to seal in moisture to our hair shaft in turn protecting our hair from being dry. Though it solved the problem of locking in moisture for our hair, it created another problem which is the fact that it suffocates our scalp by cogging up the pores in our scalp and also trapping the dead skin that needs to be exfoliated from our scalp and leaving there hindering hair grow. Hair in general needs, oxygen, circulation, proper nutrition to grow and the oil definitely does not help to aid the scalp in producing hair growth. People with Oily hair and scalp hair tend to be straight haired people with an oily scalp which is due to the fact that the hair can easily flow down the hair shaft making it limp and lifeless as far as styling is concerned. People with an oily scalp and in turn oily hair should avoid shampoos that have conditioning agents in it seeing as though that will just add to the problem of oily hair. What can be used as a separate conditioner and shampoo with emphasize on a condition that has the ability to soften and relax the hair. In addition to that you also want to make sure that you keep the conditioner as far away from the scalp and focus mainly on the sections of the hair that are the driest. Also when shampooing the hair you definitely should make sure that you focus on shampooing the scalp more so than the hair itself.

The next type of scalp would be the type that is very dry, which in turn produces dry hair. People prone to this problem can also be people with straight or fine hair. This is definitely the type of hair that you do not want to over wash for obvious reasons. With this type of hair you should not wash your hair more than twice a week and you should also stay away for two in ones (shampoos with built-in conditioners). In addition to that you still want to make sure that you do no load the hair with greasy by products such as mineral oil, petroleum, coco butter, etc. For this type of hair, hair polish is very helpful. Some of the ingredient of hair polish such as silicones by products seal in the moist at the cuticle and give a radiant sheen. Also messaging your scalp with a moisturizer such as Hydratherma hair growth lotion would definitely do the trick with the problem of having a dry scalp and can also be applied to dry hair for moisture as well. All in all, when dealing with dry hair, using the same techniques as discussed earlier with the “normal” hair should be used for maximum results.
