When we carefully manage our hair styles and care for our hair every day, we often focus on the hair itself, but ignore the crucial "soil" at the root of the hair-the scalp. In fact, the scalp is a complex and delicate micro-ecosystem, just like a lush but secret jungle, which contains many mysteries that affect hair health.
The scalp surface is not smooth, but has its own unique set of "residents" community. Under normal circumstances, beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria maintain a delicate balance here. Beneficial bacteria can inhibit the excessive reproduction of harmful bacteria and participate in the self-repair process of scalp, just like loyal guards guarding the peace of scalp. However, bad living habits, such as frequent use of irritating shampoo, staying up late for a long time, excessive dyeing and perm, may become the "showstopper" of this balance. When harmful bacteria begin to gain the upper hand, the scalp may be caught in a series of problems such as itching, oily and desquamation.
The sebaceous glands play an important role in exploring the structure of scalp. The oil secreted by sebaceous glands is originally a natural "moisturizing agent" for scalp and hair, which can moisturize hair and prevent water loss. However, factors such as stress and hormonal changes will interfere with the normal work of sebaceous glands, leading to imbalance of oil secretion. Too much oil will block pores and hinder the breathing of scalp, just like covering the land with a thick plastic film, which hinders the normal communication between plant roots and the outside world. In this state for a long time, the hair follicle will gradually lose its vitality, and the hair will lose its solid foundation and become fragile and dull.
Then look at the close connection between the scalp and other parts of the body. The human body is a whole, and the health status of the scalp can often reflect the health status inside the body. When the body lacks some important nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, the metabolism of scalp cells will be affected. As far as latte is concerned, iron deficiency may lead to insufficient blood supply to scalp and insufficient oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles, which may lead to hair loss and other problems. Just like this forced planting of crops in poor soil, even if everything seems normal in the early stage, it is difficult to harvest rich fruits in the later stage.
In the busy modern life, we have various ways to take care of our bodies, but we often ignore the "square space" above our heads. Pay more attention to the scalp, from choosing mild and non-irritating shampoo and hair care products, to keeping regular work and rest, eating reasonably, and then doing deep cleaning and soothing massage for the scalp on a regular basis. Every small move is contributing to the balance of scalp microecology. Only when the micro-ecosystem of scalp remains stable can our hair thrive in healthy soil, showing natural softness, toughness and luster, and let us always exude charm and confidence from the inside out.
