Restore Scalp Balance with Equate's Therapeutic Formulas

Achieving a Healthy, Balanced Scalp

A healthy scalp is key to lush, beautiful hair. However, many factors can throw off the delicate balance of oils, moisture, and pH that your scalp needs. Issues like dandruff, dermatitis, dryness, and irritation are common. Using the right scalp care regimen can get your scalp back to its best state. Equate offers a variety of specially formulated products to meet your scalp's needs.

Understanding Common Scalp Problems

Before choosing scalp care products, it's helpful to understand some of the most prevalent scalp issues. Here are a few key problems that can disrupt a healthy scalp:

• Dandruff - This condition causes dry, flaky skin on the scalp and is triggered by factors like dry air, not shampooing enough, shampooing too often, and skin infections.
• Dermatitis - Scalp dermatitis leads to red, itchy, scaly patches. Dandruff, allergies, and autoimmune disorders can cause dermatitis.
• Dry scalp - With dry scalp, skin lacks sufficient moisture. This leads to irritation, flaking, and itchiness.
• Oily scalp - Excess oil production creates an oily scalp. This makes hair appear limp and flat.
• Sensitive scalp - A sensitive scalp is easily aggravated by factors like hair products, weather, and hair treatments.

Key Scalp Care Ingredients

Equate incorporates powerful therapeutic ingredients into its scalp care items. These ingredients each serve a specific purpose for restoring scalp balance:

• Tea tree oil - Has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties to combat dandruff and dermatitis.
• Menthol - Cools and soothes itchy, irritated scalps.
• Salicylic acid - Removes dead skin cells and alleviates flaking.
• Pyrithione zinc - Reduces fungus and bacteria on the scalp that cause dandruff.
• Coconut oil - Deeply moisturizes and nourishes dry, damaged scalps.
• Hyaluronic acid - Binds moisture to the scalp to hydrate skin.

Daily Scalp Care Routines

Caring for your scalp doesn't need to be complicated. You can maintain scalp health with a simple daily regimen:

• Shampoo every other day or as needed. Over-shampooing strips oils while under-shampooing allows buildup.
• Gently massage shampoo into your scalp for 2-3 minutes before rinsing.
• Use lukewarm water instead of hot, which can dry out your scalp.
• Alternate between different shampoo formulas to meet varying needs.
• Let your scalp breathe by avoiding hats and tight hairstyles.
• Drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet for skin health.
• Brush hair thoroughly before shampooing to distribute oils.
• Rinse out all shampoo and conditioner after washing.
• Apply targeted scalp treatments 2-3 times per week or as needed.

Tips for Continued Scalp Health

Caring for your scalp goes beyond the shampoo aisle. Implement these tips for maintaining clean, balanced skin:

Scalp Massages

Massaging your scalp increases blood flow and stimulates the muscles, nerves, and hair follicles. This helps condition hair, exfoliate the scalp, and boost thickness over time.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking adequate water and consuming foods with omega fatty acids helps keep scalp skin supple and moisturized from the inside out.

Protect Scalp from Sun

Use protective styles or hair products with UV filters when spending time in the sun. Exposure can damage the scalp and cause issues like irritation.

Avoid Over-Processing Hair

Harsh chemical treatments like perms, relaxers, and excessive dyeing strip the scalp's natural oils. Allow damaged hair to recover before repeating chemical processes.

Check Ingredient Lists

Be aware of potential irritants or allergens on product labels. Ingredients like sulfates, phthalates, and parabens can disrupt your scalp's ideal state.
