Ageing Scalp

Just like facial skin, your scalp ages naturally as well. This is because they share the same piece of skin. Factors such as reduced collagen production, decreased blood circulation, and hormonal changes are common causes of ageing scalp.

However, urban dwellers like us are at higher risk of premature ageing scalp. Our scalp faces the same environmental factors as facial skin — exposure to micro dust, pollution, and oxidative stressors —these damage the scalp’s barrier, reducing collagen production, causing dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity, causing premature ageing.

Signs and Symptoms of an Ageing Scalp

Signs of an ageing scalp consist of several common issues among people, and can often be confused with other hair conditions.

Dryness and Flakiness

Reduced oil production can lead to a dry, flaky scalp.

Thinning Hair

Hair may become thinner, and more brittle.

Itchiness

An ageing scalp can often feel itchy and irritated.

Loss of Elasticity

The scalp loses its suppleness and firmness.

Clogged Pores

Some people may face excess oil production which causes product buildup and clogged pores.

Caring for an Ageing Scalp

Ageing scalp can be remedied with simple practices if cases are mild.

Scalp Care Practices

Choosing Scalp-Friendly Products

Look for Hydrating Ingredients

Products with hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and glycerin help maintain moisture. An additional scalp mask and or hair tonic can also help improve conditions.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Opt for sulfate-free and paraben-free products that are gentler on the scalp, just like our Hair Rewind Collection.

Nutrient-Rich Formulas

Choose products enriched with vitamins A, B (Biotin, Niacin), C, E and antioxidants to nourish the scalp.

While ageing scalp solutions at home can provide gradual improvements, it is not guaranteed and results vary between individuals. Scalp treatments usually guarantee more effective results.
