The skin on the scalp contains a large amount of hair follicles, which create a surface with many different folds and nooks. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, the scalp contains about 100,000 of them! It’s constantly adapting, shedding and growing new skin cells — and its denser nerve network also makes it super responsive to things like temperature, touch and mood.

 

Because of this, your scalp changes pretty frequently, which can lead to problems like hair loss, hair thinning and flaking. When the scalp pH fluctuates too much, the scalp can begin having issues.

 

Additionally, the sebaceous glands on your scalp produce sebum (oil) to help lubricate the scalp. When these glands either under or over produce sebum, many different issues can begin to happen to your hair and scalp, such as:

• Damage at the cuticle

• Roughness

• Inflexibility

• Breakage

• Pitting

• Dullness

• Acne

• Cysts
