Types of Scalps

1. Normal Scalp

  • Balanced oil production (not too oily or too dry)

  • Healthy blood circulation

  • No flakes, itching, or irritation

  • Hair tends to be healthy and manageable

2.Oily Scalp

  • Excess sebum production by sebaceous glands

  • Hair gets greasy quickly

  • Can lead to clogged pores and dandruff

  • Often caused by genetics, hormonal changes, or over-washing

3.Dry Scalp

  • Lacks moisture or natural oils

  • Often causes itchiness, tightness, or small, dry flakes

  • Can result from cold weather, harsh shampoos, or dehydration

4.Sensitive Scalp

  • Reacts easily to products or environmental changes

  • Symptoms may include itching, burning, redness, or tenderness

  • Can coexist with other scalp types (e.g., dry + sensitive)

5.Dandruff-Prone Scalp

  • Characterized by white or yellow flakes

  • May be dry or oily

  • Often caused by yeast overgrowth (Malassezia) or inflammation

  • Can be associated with conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis

6.Combination Scalp
