Importance of Scalp Health and Taking Care of the Scalp
In this podcast episode, the guest emphasizes the importance of scalp health and treating the scalp in the same way as we treat our face. The scalp ages six times faster than the skin, so it's crucial to take care of it. The scalp has its own microbiome, and disrupting its harmony can lead to scalp issues like dandruff and psoriasis. Lifestyle factors such as hydration and diet play a role in scalp health. Proper cleansing, exfoliating, and stimulating blood flow to the scalp through scalp treatments can promote healthier and fuller hair.
