SCALP WOES? MEGAN CAN HELP!


What is Dry Scalp?
It occurs from using harsh hair products and/or harsh shampoos and conditioners, hard water, winter weather and dry skin, over washing, over brushing, and/or scratching your head when you shampoo or condition it. 
If you must shampoo your hair every day, I recommend using a dry shampoo. Alterna’s Caviar Anti-Aging Dry Shampoo 

is one of the best and it is made from a French clay instead of talc, as talc can be toxic and may be cancer-causing.
Sun and high-heat hair appliances also dry out your scalp. Also, if you don’t condition your hair, it may result in dry scalp. Dry scalp is commonly mistaken for dandruff, which is it not. 
Real flakes are large and waxy in texture. Dandruff is a medical condition caused by a fungus causing the shedding of skin cells.

What is Oily Scalp?
It is caused by poor hygiene, hormone imbalances, and genetics. “Doctors at Derma Doctor diagnose heredity as the single main cause of excess oil production in the scalp.” 


“Dihydrotestosterone, a hormone and genetically linked trait, is one of the main factors. 
If your relatives and immediate family have a history of oily scalp, then chances are that you will, too.”
Avoid brushing your hair vigorously, as doing so will bring the oil down into the rest of your hair.
MoroccanOil Scalp Re-balancing Treatments:
A 10-minute in-salon invigorating scalp massage treatment, which increases scalp circulation and balances my clients’ scalp issues.

These treatments are infused with essential oils such as organic ginger, lavender and geranium extracts, which calm and improve the condition of your scalp and the quality of your hair. 
The treatment oil sets in your hair for 10 more minutes. Further care is taken by shampooing your hair with MoroccanOil Moisture Repair Shampoo and conditioning with MoroccanOil Moisture Repair Conditioner. 
These hair care products further moisturizes both your hair and your scalp and are color safe, sulfate, phosphate, and paraben free.
 Finally, I blow dry your hair after applying the MoroccanOil Treatment, which revives, strengthens and conditions the hair, as well as reducing the hair’s drying time.
Note: I also offer both the MoroccanOil Dry-No-More and the Oil-No-More Professional scalp treatments for your DIY use.
