Many beauty lovers are very concerned about the skin condition of their faces, but do you know? In fact, scalp is as important as skin. Without careful care, aging may come early! Taking good care of the scalp can not only raise a bright black hair, but also make the facial skin more beautiful. What should I do? Let dermatologist Zhu Guanzhou solve your doubts!
What is scalp aging?
Dr. Zhu Guanzhou said that healthy hair should have three characteristics. The first is black and uniform hair color, the second is that the hair is naturally covered with bright luster, and the third is that the hair shaft is rich in water, and the hair skin fits perfectly, making the hair surface appear smooth. If you find that your hair condition is not as good as before, for example, the hair color becomes gray and soft, or the hair density decreases or the growth rate slows down, the oil output changes dramatically, and even the scalp becomes thinner and dandruff increases, which are all signs of scalp aging.
What factors can lead to scalp aging? Dr. Zhu Guanzhou explained that poor blood circulation, decreased skin immunity, excessively spicy eating habits, external life pressure, environmental pollution and other factors. It will lead to an increase in free radicals and promote premature aging of the scalp. In addition, if you are bald from the beginning, the barrier of hair to protect the scalp will become fragile, and frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays will also accelerate scalp aging.
The key to judging scalp aging lies in hair quality, hair quantity and growth rate.
The age of scalp aging is about 40 years old. Usually after the age of 40, the aging speed of the scalp will accelerate. Earlier, some people may have symptoms of aging from around the age of 30. Readers can observe from the following points to confirm whether their hair has entered the aging stage.
Hair unit density decreased:
For example, a single hair follicle can grow 2 or 3 hairs, but it is reduced to 1 or 2 hairs, which is a sign of the decline in unit density.
Hair growth slows down:
The average person's hair can grow about 1 ~ 1.2 cm per month. If it is found that the growth rate is obviously slow, even only 0.2 ~ 0.3 cm per month, it seems that the frequency of hair cutting is not as good as before, because the growth rate of hair is slow.
The number of people with hair loss has increased significantly:
Ordinary people naturally lose their hair every day because of metabolism, which is about 100, so as long as 100 is up and down, it is within the normal range. If a sudden increase in hair loss is found, it is a warning signal worthy of attention.
Other scalp health problems:
Dry hair, dry hair, broken hair, abnormal proliferation of dandruff, or microvascular proliferation and reduced water content on the scalp surface after examination by special instruments are also phenomena of scalp aging.
Dr. Zhu Guanzhou said that the tightness of the scalp is closely related to the skin condition of the face. When the scalp begins to age, the skin on the forehead and corners of the eyes may also become slack, even affecting the firmness of the middle face. Therefore, only by doing scalp health care well and avoiding wrong maintenance methods can scalp and facial skin maintain a healthy state. This paper puts forward the following three methods of scalp health care, and explains the correct maintenance methods for readers' reference.
NG 1: Too frequent shampoo → moderate basic cleaning is enough.
The most needed maintenance of scalp is proper basic cleaning. As long as the dirt on the scalp and hair is removed when shampooing, it will not make the scalp feel tight or * * *, which is a suitable shampooing procedure. In addition, the frequency of shampooing varies from person to person. Some people need to wash it every day, while others don't. When people reach middle-aged and old age, the amount of scalp oil will be much less than when they were young, and the hair quality will gradually become dry. So choose the right shampoo according to the hair quality. When washing your hair, try to remove scalp keratin, promote blood circulation and relieve stress.
NG2: Dye causes * *→ Avoid direct contact with scalp.
When dyeing hair and perming hair, if the medicine touches the scalp, it may cause contact dermatitis and make the scalp itchy and red. Therefore, hairdressing products include dyes, hair gels, hair waxes and so on. Care should be taken not to touch the scalp directly, and to avoid excessive frequent hair dyeing and hairstyle design. In addition, the conditioner and conditioner after shampooing only need to be applied to the ends of the hair, which will not increase the greasy feeling and burden of the scalp, and also avoid the influence of chemical components on the health of the head skin.
NG3: Sun protection failed → physical means to avoid exposure.
If the hair is overexposed to ultraviolet rays, it will lose its internal moisture and protein and turn yellow, which will further affect the scalp health. Usually go out during the day, it is recommended to wear an umbrella and a hat to protect your hair and scalp from direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays.
Supplementing zinc and iron is more helpful to the health of head skin.
Besides choosing the right hair care products and maintaining your hair in a proper way, there are also many good ways to protect your scalp in your daily diet. Dr. Zhu Guanzhou said that the lack of "zinc" will lead to hair loss, and the lack of "iron" may lead to anemia, which will also reduce the amount of hair and lead to baldness crisis. Therefore, it is recommended to eat foods containing zinc and iron such as beef, mutton and oysters in moderation, and eat more foods such as black beans and almonds that are helpful to the oxidation resistance of hair, which will help strengthen the health of the scalp.
Only with a healthy scalp can we have healthy hair and further care for facial skin! Doing scalp care now can delay aging, make hair black and shiny, and make facial skin softer and smoother!
