The scalp is highly sensitive to a person’s general health. Excessive sebum, dryness or sensitivity can come from stress, a poor diet or a temporary imbalance with symptoms such as redness, dehydration and rash. Even healthy scalps can build up fatty residues, pollutants, styling products or dead cells that need to be periodically removed to oxygenize the follicles. That’s why a scalp ritual should be part of a wellness routine. As a hairstylist, there are several signs that can indicate that the client in your chair might benefit from a scalp treatment.
Everyone can benefit from a scalp treatment, but here are some common signs to look out for that indicate you should suggest one to your client.
1. Excessive Oiliness
If your client’s scalp appears excessively oily or greasy, it may be an indication that their scalp needs a thorough cleansing
2. Flaky or Dry Scalp
If your client has visible flakes or dry patches on their scalp, it could be a sign of scalp dryness or dandruff. A scalp treatment can help remove dry skin and hydrate the scalp.
3. Itchy scalp
Persistent itching or discomfort on the scalp is often a sign of scalp irritation or dryness. A soothing scalp treatment can help alleviate the itchiness and provide relief.
4. Product buildup
If your client uses a lot of styling products, such as hairsprays, gels, or serums, over time, it can lead to product buildup on the scalp. This buildup can make the hair feel heavy and look dull. A scalp treatment can effectively remove the residue and refresh the scalp.
5. Unpleasant odor
If your client complains of an unpleasant smell coming from their scalp, it could be due to excess sweat, oil, or bacteria. A scalp treatment with antimicrobial properties can help combat odor-causing bacteria and leave the scalp smelling fresh.
6. Hair Thinning or Shedding
Sometimes, a congested or unhealthy scalp can lead to hair thinning or excessive shedding. By cleansing the scalp and promoting a healthier environment, a scalp treatment can support hair growth and reduce hair fall.
7. Sensitivity or Infla-mmation
If your client has a sensitive scalp or experiences redness, irritation, or inflammation, a gentle scalp treatment can help soothe and calm the scalp.
