Five Scalp Facts

The skin of the scalp is very much like the skin found on other areas of the body but it does have its own unique properties. Here are five good-to-know facts about the scalp as you embark on taking the best care of your scalp.

Bacteria and other microorganisms naturally live on human skin, including the skin of the scalp. Collectively, they are called your skin flora or skin microbiota.
Your skin flora usually causes no harm, instead, they either have no effect on you or are actually beneficial for your skin and your general health.
Scalp skin flora is generally not as diverse as the range of microorganisms found on other parts of the skin.
Microorganisms on the scalp can be the cause of some scalp conditions. Take dandruff and its more severe form (seborrhoeic dermatitis), for example. They have been shown to be the result of increased activity of a specific type of fungus on the scalp.
The scalp is actually more than just skin. The skin of the scalp is just one of five layers that make up the scalp.

Benefits of Scalp Care

When we think of a healthy scalp, it is the benefits it brings for hair growth that usually come to mind. Here are some ways in which your hair thrives when your scalp is in great condition:

A clean scalp has anti-aging effects. It promotes cell turnover, getting rid of older cells and allowing newer ones to thrive at the surface.
A healthy scalp is better able to ward off infection, keeping the microbiota of the scalp at optimal levels.
A healthy scalp is more resistant to wear and tear. It is also better able to heal itself in case of damage.
A clean and healthy scalp is less susceptible to becoming overly dry or oily. This helps to ensure that the hair growing from the scalp is sufficiently lubricated and that the hair follicles have sufficient nutrients.
