Important to Have a Healthy Scalp?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a healthy scalp is important for both hair health, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apexskin.com\/our-team\/dr-brian-moore-md\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brian Moore, MD, FAAD<\/a>, and dermatology advisor at Illuminate Labs. \u201cSince the hair exists on a cycle of three phrases, it is important to keep the scalp clean and the follicles nourished,\u201d he says. \u201cAdditionally, if the scalp skin is affected by a certain disease, the skin can break, allowing bacteria and fungus to potentially enter the scalp environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_identify_scalp_buildup\"><\/span><a><\/a>How to identify scalp buildup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scalp buildup typically occurs when there\u2019s too much sebum accumulating along with hair products, dead skin cells, and different hair products. This usually manifests as redness on the scalp, itchiness, or oily or crusty skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_an_Unhealthy_Scalp\"><\/span><a><\/a>Symptoms of an Unhealthy Scalp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Dr. Moore, an unhealthy scalp can be prevented in a handful of different ways. \u201cMost commonly, an itch or tingling signals a scalp condition,\u201d he says. \u201cUsually that is from a dandruff or yeast condition, or even psoriasis, which presents with the above as well as with a rash. Another complaint can be pimples or open sores on the scalp, which can signal a bacterial condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He adds that if there are bumps or sharp nodules, this can indicate a precancerous or even cancerous condition. \u201cAdditionally, the scalp can shed hair for many different reasons, including stress or genetic conditions,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptom_1_Is_an_unhealthy_scalp_pink\"><\/span><a><\/a>Symptom 1: Is an unhealthy scalp pink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the patient\u2019s skin type or color, a healthy scalp will usually be a bit paler than their normal skin, Dr. Moore says.&nbsp; \u201cAny increased pinkness or dark color can indicate an issue,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptom_2_You_can_see_your_scalp_through_your_hair\"><\/span><a><\/a>Symptom 2: You can see your scalp through your hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you can see your scalp through your hair easily, it typically means your hair is on the thinner side. If you\u2019re worried about this, you can consult a dermatologist\u2014they can likely help you figure out if stress or another issue is causing thinning hair, or they can make product recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Steps_to_Improving_the_Health_of_Your_Scalp\"><\/span><a><\/a>3 Steps to Improving the Health of Your Scalp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re ready to start improving your scalp health, here\u2019s the step-by-step process to know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Washing_indications\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 1: Washing indications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_more_gentle_shampoo\"><\/span><a><\/a>Use a more gentle shampoo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Moore notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/en-us\/shop\/smooth-shampoo\/p\/SMSH236\">nourishing shampoos<\/a> can be very helpful. \u201cMoisturizing shampoos and conditioners are helpful,\u201d he says. \u201cThe most important type of shampoo to use is a zinc shampoo, which can help clear the scalp of yeast and also promote healthier hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wash_your_hair_less_often\"><\/span><a><\/a>Wash your hair less often<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If buildup is the reason why you\u2019re dealing with scalp issues, washing your hair less often can help your scalp do what it needs to do naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Build_a_better_diet\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 2: Build a better diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An improved diet can also help improve scalp health. This means making sure to eat a healthy, balanced diet that\u2019s filled with fruit, vegetables, protein, and other healthy options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_probiotics\"><\/span><a><\/a>Include probiotics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probiotic supplements\u2014or getting probiotics naturally through yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, or kimchi\u2014can positively benefit the skin microbiome, soothe irritation, on the scalp, and even contribute to healthier hair. If you\u2019re looking for probiotic supplements, consider looking for the lactobacilli bacteria strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_antioxidants_in_your_diet\"><\/span><a><\/a>Include antioxidants in your diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Antioxidants can be found in foods like berries, spinach, carrots, potatoes and more, and they can help bind the scalp and build a thicker, more protective layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_omega-3_supplements\"><\/span><a><\/a>Consider omega-3 supplements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omega-3 supplements can help provide essential proteins for hair and skin, which can greatly benefit scalp health. You should also consider biotin and vitamin C, Dr. Moore says, which are important for both scalp and heathier hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Use_Rodan_and_Fields_Products\"><\/span><a><\/a>Step 3: Use Rodan and Fields Products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rodan + Fields\u2019 new hair care line is a great place to start when it comes to improving scalp health.
