When we think of hair, we tend to think of Cutting, coloring, and styling. Often products – from shampoo to styling mousse – promise
soft and shiny hair that is touchable. Until recently, little attention has been paid where our hair starts to grow: the scalp, the roots
and the follicles. Sure, maybe some concern about dandruff, but not much else.
THE “SKINIFICATION” OF THE SCALP
While we often take care of our skin – our faces, hands, body, even feet – with specific day and night creams, sun screens, and cleansers, few of us ever took into consideration that, technically speaking, our scalp is also skin. “In recent years, it’s become clear that the skin on your scalp and the skin on your face are susceptible to the same aggressors. Sun, pollution, heat, and chemical exposure all play a role in the health of your scalp, and it turns out, your scalp can age just like the skin on your face. Scalp aging can lead to follicle damage, dehydration, and an overall less lustrous hair,” explains Adam Federico, R+Co Vice President of Technical Education. “A healthy scalp leads to healthy hair, and this unique skin is finally getting the attention it deserves,” says Harvard-trained dermatologist, Dr. Iris Rubin, founder of SEEN. There are even specific products for any particular issue a client may be having.
