Scalp Type Identification

Identify oily scalp by oil around pores and greasy roots; seasonal changes, temperature, late nights, and diet influence secretion, while oil-control products with proper cleansing prevent buildup.

Identify the neutral scalp by the absence of oil around pores and a balanced oil–water level, revealing an optimal, non-dry, non-oily condition with a resilient hydraulic film and season-based care.

Identify dry scalp by a matte, oil-free appearance and lack of sebum; aging and seasonal changes contribute, use a moisturizing cleanser every 2 to 3 days and avoid high heat.

Identify sensitive scalp by redness with visible blood vessels and stinging, often from genetic or dry skin. Distinguish it from stress-related redness or dandruff inflammation, and apply soothing, non-stimulating care.

Identify dry and oily dandruff and inflamed scalp conditions by their flakes; explain lipid film impairment, and protect the scalp with moisturization while avoiding overcleaning, high heat, and sls shampoos.

Identify oily dandruff by large, yellowish, clumpy flakes that cling to hair roots and feel greasy from excess sebum fueling Malassezia furfur growth; shampoo daily and use oil-control products.

Folliculitis is an inflamed hair follicle near a pore, red and itchy. Caused by bacteria and poor hygiene, it recurs and is treated with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial products and daily shampoo.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common scalp condition causing red skin, scaly patches, and yellow or white dandruff, often with oiliness and recurring inflammation on the scalp, face, and ears.

Identify psoriasis as a skin condition with red, dry scalp and white thick keratin patches; apply keratin purification, anti-inflammatory care, and hydration to treat.

Identify hair loss due to oily scalp and androgenic alopecia, caused by DHT attacking hair follicles. Learn how sebum, oil secretion, and shampooing frequency influence scalp health and oil control.

Identify hair loss from dry scalp due to depleted lipid film and dehydration. Recommend moisturizing cleansers and gentle shampoos every 2 to 3 days, avoiding hot water.

Investigate postpartum hair loss after childbirth and how pregnancy hormones shift the hair growth cycle, including antigen, catagen, and telogen phases, and the return to normal as hormones stabilize.

Identify alopecia areata, an autoimmune hair loss forming round coin-shaped patches, and note triggers such as hormonal fluctuation, mood swings, and mental stress, recovery prospects, and steroid injections as treatment.

Identify the seven criteria for a healthy shampoo to support scalp care, including avoiding artificial coloring and chemical preservatives, maintaining a pH around 6–6.2, and minimizing S.O.S. sulfates.

Highlight glycyrrhetinic acid’s anti-inflammatory benefits, avocado-derived compounds that regulate sebum and inhibit five alpha reductase, Nkpa from soybean extract for anti-aging and hydration, and sodium arsenic’s antibacterial action.
