Scalp care: the key step for a wonderful mane

 
When we talk about beauty and anti-aging treatments, we mean so much more than just taking care of our skin and hair. We are aware of the signs of aging and we actively look for products and treatments that help us to treat lack of volume, elasticity and frizz. However, we are forgetting a key step in our care routine: scalp care. Did you know that to be able to show off healthy hair it is essential that the scalp is in optimal condition?

As with the skin, the signs of aging on our scalp progress gradually as we get older. What affects our dermis, also affects our scalp and, therefore, our hair.

 
How does our scalp age?

The inevitable passage of time and the modern way of life are some of the factors that cause our scalp’s health to deteriorate.

The process begins when our collagen production naturally decreases, which causes cell regeneration to slow down and in turn, causes the skin to thin and lose elasticity. The sebaceous gland slows down, the scalp becomes dehydrated and the skin barrier to weakens.

Redness and discomfort may start to occur, blood circulation slows down and becomes irregular, allowing less nutrients and oxygen to reach the root of the hair. The growth phases are altered and the hair grows slower, resulting in a head of hair with less thickness and strength. This loss ultimately leads to weakening of the follicle, which cannot create hair and causes hair loss.

 
What factors are involved in the aging of the scalp?

There are two types of factors that accelerate the natural aging of the scalp: internal and external.

As for the former, it will depend a lot on how we take care of ourselves holistically. That is, our general health and well-being. This could be aspects such as our diet, and even our mental health. Factors such as iron deficiency, stress or a poor diet deficient in vitamins and trace elements can directly affect cellular processes and, consequently, the growth of our hair.

In terms of external factors, we must take pollution or digital aging into account. Pollution molecules that live in the air, penetrate the skin’s pores and the scalp with ease. They damage the protective layer of the skin and leave "the door open" to other pathogens that can cause all kinds of damage to our dermis. The larger molecules also affect the skin, dirtying the scalp and clogging pores, causing a reduction in hair oxygenation, which causes loss of shine, strength and thickness.

Our exposure to blue light has increased over the years as technology has advanced. The light emitted by our computer, Tablet or Smartphone alters our circadian rhythm, an internal clock that regulates the different functions of our body, affecting the cellular processes of our skin and hair.

 
A key step in our routine

Treating the scalp is key to maintaining healthy and youthful hair. The solution to many of our concerns regarding our hair’s appearance and maintenance is found in the care of the skin under it.

All Miriam Quevedo haircare collections contain high concentrations of ingredients that aim to prevent aging of the scalp and therefore, maintain the health and appearance of our hair.
