What are the 4 scalp types?

Published in Scalp Types 1 min read

There are four common scalp types:

  • Dry scalp: This type of scalp experiences frequent itchiness and powdery flakes that fall off when scratching or shaking your head.
  • Oily scalp: This scalp type produces excess sebum, leading to a greasy feeling and potentially oily hair.
  • Normal scalp: This scalp type has a balanced sebum production, leading to neither dryness nor excessive oiliness.
  • Combination scalp: This type exhibits both dry and oily areas, often with dry patches at the back of the head and an oily scalp around the hairline.

Understanding your scalp type is crucial for choosing the right hair care products and treatments. Using products designed for your specific scalp type can help address its unique needs and maintain its health.
