The hot and humid summer like a tropical rainforest is just around the corner. It’s the season when the discomfort index rises remarkably, with sweaty hair and sticky scalp.
Summer scalp is in a very harsh state!
When summer comes, scalp problems such as stickiness and dandruff increase, but it can’t be helped. Summer is a tough season for your skin. Let’s see why.
UV rays are strong
UV rays are strong It is said that the amount of UV rays in summer is twice as strong as in winter. Sunburn on the scalp causes inflammation, which causes itchiness and dandruff.
Excessive perspiration and sebum secretion
The pores easily become clogged with dirt as more sweat and sebum are secreted from the pores.
Actually, it’s cold.
Offices and stores are well air-conditioned, so it is surprisingly easy for the body to get cold and for blood circulation to deteriorate in the scalp. When blood circulation is poor, the skin becomes stiff, making it difficult for nutrients to enter, which can lead to thinning hair.
If this applies to you, be careful! Check your scalp health
The summer scalp environment is thus harsh, but it’s hard to see for yourself what your scalp looks like. We have created a checklist for those of you who are not able to see what is going on with your scalp. If even one of these applies to you, you need to be careful!
For those people, we recommend head spas, which can be easily performed at home. Let’s restore the health of your scalp with a head spa.
Hair lacks volume and is flat
If the scalp is covered with sebum stains, it is difficult for the roots to stand up and volume to appear. Be careful if your scalp gets sticky when you sweat a little.
Itching, dandruff
The scalp may be dry or irritated by styling products left on the scalp.
Scalp does not move.
If you have difficulty moving the scalp back and forth with your fingers, you have poor circulation.
Cleansing gel is easy and effective!
How was your experience? If any of the above checks apply to you, you may want to start a head spa. A recommended item for head spa beginners is a cleansing gel.
By applying it to the skin before shampooing and rinsing it off, it removes sebum and dirt from styling products that cannot be removed by regular shampooing. Since it is a gel, it blends well and is easy to use before shampooing.
