In the past, the scalp has not been given a whole lot of attention.
Most hair care was targeted toward the actual strands of hair.
Unlike the skin on your face and body, the scalp was generally neglected and ignored.
But, this has all changed.
The concept emphasizes that the scalp is skin.
You might ask, “but why does it matter?
Nobody looks at my scalp.”
Well, by taking care of this scalp, you might improve your hair health.
How your scalp impacts your hair
It’s confusing.
While this is a logical assumption, it’s far from the truth.
The result is dry, brittle locks.
Neglecting your scalp can also cause hair loss and thinning.
Depending on how thick your hair is, it might be challenging to ensure your serums reach the scalp.
While a spray may work for some, there are also more thorough methods.
TikTok user@mayurijainishared her process for exfoliating her scalp, coating glycolic acid on the skin.
She divided her hair and exposed her scalp.
Then, placing a narrow tip applicator directly onto her skin, she layers glycolic acid onto its surface.
Then, she “put[s] it in one-inch sections all over my scalp.”
Not all “skinification” routines will look the same.
