THE HAIR COACH
Raising awareness about the crucial need for professional support for hair and scalp.
Scalp health isn’t always top of our haircare priorities.
Throughout our lives we will have used fragranced sulphate-rich shampoos, we will have battered our hair and scalps with colour from a box or bleach and we will have doused our chemically processed roots with old school hairspray. Or sadly we may be undergoing treatment affecting our hair but also our scalp.
It is now reported that up to 8 in 10 people suffer from scalp irritation which can manifest itself as anything from flakiness, itchiness and redness to soreness or in more severe cases eczema or psoriasis.
Keeping your scalp healthy and using the right treatments is just as important as keeping your hair healthy. Getting professional support is a must.
SEASONAL CHANGES 48
Itchy irritated scalps can be caused by seasonal changes and as we enter fully into winter it’s important to understand how to care for our scalps better. Hot showers, hot blow drying, not fully rinsing away shampoo, the wrong products, not washing hair enough and letting dry shampoo clog pores are all contributing factors to bad scalp health, along with possible triggers from sulphates, silicones and parabens.
EASING DANDRUFF
The way to do this is not to reach for that well-advertised brand of shampoo. Your scalp is an extension of the skin on your face and its natural for it to mirror your complexion – even if it is only in subtle ways. Cold weather and stress can trigger dandruff which is completely normal.
Using the right shampoo is key and shampoos with ketaconazole, zinc pyrithione or selenium sulphide have anti-fungal and anti- inflammatory benefits. Check in with a trained hairdresser on scalp care. But do note if you are noticing persistent itching, scabbing redness or hair shedding book in with a registered trichologist.
Mediceuticals Scalp Therapies is specifically formulated to treat various problems, including dandruff, oily and dry scalp, scalp sensitivity and scalp irritation. This product range consists of technologically advanced products designed to target specific scalp issues and help restore scalp and hair health.
The hair and scalp care journey during cancer treatment can be made safe and easier if you seek advice form a professional and subject matter expert who can give you that 360-degree one stop service either face to face in a salon or virtually if you prefer, allowing you to still be you.
Feel safe when seeking advice. It’s very brave to face the outside world when you are feeling low. Look for a professional who offers a quiet, professional and personal place to discuss a hair and scalp programme that’s right for you.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Make sure that you are talking to a professional hair stylist who knows about BOTH hair and scalp care. Don’t scrimp on the right products like clarifying and detoxing shampoos like those in the Davines range. Treat your scalp well in all the seasons but particularly in the winter months and you will have the healthiest scalp ever seen.

Additionally, some individuals may notice discomfort or pain as their hair falls out or when pimples develop on the scalp.
