Self-diagnosis Results
If you checked on more than three items, you need a systematic treatment.
Type A – Dry Scalp
Secretion of sweat and sebum is low, while dead skin cells are
being formed quickly. When sebum secretion is not smooth,
dead skin cells and dandruff accumulate, clog pores,
and make your scalp itchy. If you don’t receive treatment
for a long time, your scalp may become 'sensitive' scalp.
Type B – Oily Scalp
Over-active sebaceous glands produce an
excess quantity of sebum, clogging your pores.
Sebum builds up in the scalp hair follicles, which can
decrease normal scalp function and lead to hair loss.
Type C – Sensitive Scalp
You can easily spot inflammation or redness of the scalp
with naked eye. Your scalp is always swollen,
so it is easy to be damaged by irritation.
The frequency of breakout is high,
and bacterial infection can turn into an inflammation.
Type D- Seborrheic Scalp
Combination of oily and sensitive scalp.
When your scalp immunity is low and you accumulate
impurities like dead skin cells and dandruff,
your scalp is prone to inflammation or acne.
The scalp itself rashes easily and swells and becomes itchy.
