5 Facts you didn't know about hair and scalp care
Are you ready to face the facts about your hair? Knowledge is key and may help you prevent scalp problems, which are less commonly known. This is why we have put together this list for you.
Fact #1: 90% of men suffer from dandruff
Dandruff, one of the most common scalp problems in our region, is caused by a type of bacteria which grows on your scalp and causes it to create a surplus of skin - resulting in the appearance of flakes. There are many reasons behind the growth of this bacteria, and these could be due to anything from the weather to oily skin. Dandruff hits 90% of men once in their lives at least, with the possibility of reappearing later in life, even after it has been treated.
Fact #2: Balding is not bound to a specific age group
Balding does not only hit aging men. Fifteen to 25% of young men start suffering from balding at an early age, while the percentage increases to 50 - 70% of men at age 50 and above. What's worth noting, however, is that men who hit 50 without going bald will not be subject to balding afterwards.
Fact #3: dandruff and acne go hand in hand
As mentioned before, dandruff's main cause is a type of bacteria that grows on the scalp. This same bacteria also causes the growth of acne and it thrives more with people who have oily skin. This is why you'll notice that acne and dandruff often appear around the same time.
Fact #4: Hair styling might cause hair fall
Hair fall has many reasons, some of them are psychological like stress, while others are physiological like eating habits, but another reason is hair styling. When you use styling products like hair wax or hair gel excessively, you might be causing your hair to fall. Also, when you use some tools like a harsh hair brush, which could also lead to harming your scalp and thus loss of hair or limit its growth.
Fact #5: Hair loss is linked to dandruff
The male hormone that weakens the hair and leads to its loss also increases secretions from the sebaceous glands, which in turn lead to the appearance of dandruff and the bacteria causing it. Accordingly, if you look over your dandruff problem, you might face hair loss or even balding in the long term.
