乾性頭皮
乾癢、容易產生雪花般頭皮屑沒有適時保養時，頭皮幾乎沒有分泌什麼油脂，不時感到乾癢甚至感覺到明顯乾燥、緊繃並出現脫屑，有這些狀況就代表你的頭皮應屬於乾性頭皮。乾性頭皮是一種常見的頭皮狀況，其特徵是頭皮缺乏足夠的油脂和水分，導致乾燥、脫屑和瘙癢。這種情況不僅影響個人的舒適度，還可能引發頭皮健康問題。以下是乾性頭皮的主要特性及護理方法。
頭皮乾燥
乾性頭皮的最主要特徵就是乾燥。由於皮脂腺分泌的油脂不足，頭皮無法形成足夠的油脂保護層，使頭皮變得乾燥粗糙。這種乾燥感可能會在洗髮後更加明顯，特別是在乾燥的氣候條件下。
頭皮脫屑
乾性頭皮常伴隨脫屑現象。由於頭皮乾燥，表層皮膚細胞容易脫落，形成細小的皮屑。這些皮屑可能會掉落在肩膀上，影響外觀，讓人感到困擾。
頭皮瘙癢
乾性頭皮通常會伴隨瘙癢感。由於缺乏足夠的油脂和水分，頭皮容易感到緊繃和瘙癢。這種瘙癢感可能會讓人不自覺地抓撓頭皮，進一步加重乾燥和脫屑問題。
頭髮乾燥和脆弱
乾性頭皮通常也會影響到頭髮，導致頭髮乾燥、脆弱、容易斷裂。這是因為頭皮無法提供足夠的油脂來滋養和保護頭髮。

乾性頭皮雖然是一種常見的頭皮問題，但通過合理的護理和管理，可以有效減少其帶來的不適和健康問題。選擇適合的保濕和滋潤產品，保持頭皮和頭髮的健康，是管理乾性頭皮的關鍵。定期護理和適當的飲食習慣也有助於改善乾性頭皮的狀況。對於症狀嚴重或長期未見改善的情況，建議諮詢自然療髮中心®以獲得更專業的判斷和療程建議。
Dry scalp
Understanding and Caring for a Dry Scalp
Dry scalp is characterized by persistent itching, a "snow-like" cascade of flakes (dandruff), and a feeling of tightness or extreme dryness when not properly maintained. The sebaceous glands produce insufficient oil, leaving the scalp vulnerable.
It's a common condition stemming from a lack of adequate oil and moisture, leading to dryness, flaking, and itching. This compromises comfort and overall scalp health.
Key Characteristics of a Dry Scalp
Scalp Dryness: The main feature is a lack of lubrication. Insufficient sebum means the protective barrier is compromised, leaving the scalp feeling rough and tight, especially after washing or in dry climates.
Flaking (Dandruff): Dryness causes the surface skin cells to shed prematurely, resulting in fine, visible flakes that often fall onto the shoulders.
Itching and Tightness: The lack of moisture creates a feeling of tension and itching. Inadvertent scratching can further aggravate dryness and flaking.
Dry, Brittle Hair: A dry scalp cannot nourish the hair shaft adequately, leading to hair that is dry, fragile, and prone to breakage.
Professional Care & Management
Gentle, Hydrating Cleansing: Use mild, fragrance-free NHRC products. Our Hair Strengthening Shampoo or Hair Purifying Shampoo are ideal for sensitive and dry scalps, offering cleansing with vital moisturizing and repairing ingredients to maintain oil-water balance.
Adaptive Care: Adjust your routine seasonally. Increase moisturizing efforts in winter and opt for lightweight care in summer.
Environmental Protection: Use hats or protective products in extreme weather to minimize external stressors.
Optimal Washing Frequency: Avoid over-washing. Adjust the frequency based on personal needs to retain natural oils.
Targeted Treatments:
Schedule customized deep cleansing NHRC treatments tailored to your condition.
Use NHRC Hair Protein Hydrolyzed Conditioner once a week for intensive deep conditioning to enhance softness and resilience.
Minimize Heat Styling: Avoid frequent use of high-heat styling tools like hair dryers and curling irons, which further strip moisture.
Avoid Scratching: Refrain from aggressive scratching to prevent inflammation or injury to the scalp barrier.
Summary & Recommendation
A dry scalp is manageable with the right strategy. Choosing hydrating NHRC products, maintaining a regular care routine, and a healthy diet are crucial for recovery.
