Caring for Your Baby's Scalp

It's perfectly normal for your baby to occasionally experience mild irritation of the scalp. From dry scalp to cradle cap to other less common scalp conditions, your baby's' skin is always growing and changing.

What Causes Dry Scalp in Babies?

It's normal for newborns to have white flakes on their scalps. This is not an indication of a dry scalp condition but instead the remnants of old skin being shed. Do not use oils, lotions, or Vaseline to treat dry scalp for babies, as this will only adhere to the flakes to the scalp and make the condition worse.

Over-washing is a common culprit of baby dry scalp. Make sure to rinse thoroughly, as residual shampoo can contribute to baby dandruff. Baby dry scalp treatment is fairly simple. Simply wash your baby’s hair two to three times per week with a gentle baby shampoo and brush his or her hair with a soft baby brush. A humidifier can also help to prevent dry skin, particularly in the winter. Baby dandruff is common a common skin condition in newborns and is no cause for concern. However, you should monitor your baby's dry scalp for redness and irritation.

What is Cradle Cap?

Cradle cap, also known as seborrheic dermatitis, is a skin condition characterized by thick white or yellowish scales. In addition to the scalp, it can also occur on the back of the neck, diaper area, armpits, and eyelids. It may be tempting to apply oils or lotions to the affected area, but this is actually counterproductive since the buildup of dry skin is caused in part by an overproduction of oil beneath the surface of the skin.

How Do You Treat Cradle Cap?

You can treat cradle cap by removing scales with a soft brush and washing with a dandruff shampoo like Sebulex daily for one to two weeks. In many cases, the skin condition will go away on its own. If the condition persists, gets red and irritated, or if it spreads, see your physician.

What is the Difference Between Cradle Cap and Eczema in Babies?

Eczema in babies can look similar to other common skin conditions, like cradle cap. It typically begins as a patch of red or dry skin and will feel rough to the touch. However, babies can get eczema on any part of their body, and it often affects the cheek area as well as the inner folds of the arm and leg joints. Eczema in babies can often be confused with cradle cap, but there are a few key differences:

Cradle cap is less red and scaly.
Cradle cap typically only appears on the scalp, sides of the nose, eyelids, eyebrows, and behind the ears.
Cradle cap generally clears up by 8 months, but eczema can last longer.

If you're unsure about which condition is affecting your little one, schedule an appointment with your child's pediatrician.

Other Scalp Conditions in Babies

Occasionally, your little one may experience itching, flaking, or crusting of the scalp that cannot be attributed to dandruff, cradle cap, or eczema. If this occurs, it may be caused by one of the following skin conditions:

Head Lice

Though most common in school-age children, babies can also contract head lice as well. These tiny wingless insects can cause itching and raw patches on the scalp.

Ringworm

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the outer layer of the scalp. It appears as circular patches with raised, red edges that create its characteristic ring shape.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition caused by the overproduction of skin cells which form red, scaly patches known as plaques. Though it is rare, psoriasis can occur in babies.

Lichen Planus

Also very rare in babies, lichen planus is a recurrent skin condition that appears more often during stress, fatigue, or exposure to medicines or chemicals.

Sores, Blisters, or Bumps on Your Baby's Scalp

Your baby can also occasionally develop painful sores, blisters, or bumps on or around the scalp. These temporary scalp abrasions may be caused by one of the following skin conditions:

Folliculitis
Contact dermatitis
Chickenpox
Baby acne
Epidermal cyst

When to Visit the Pediatrician

If your baby’s skin condition has not improved after using over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams or ointments for babies, or if you’re concerned about redness or rashes, schedule an appointment with your child’s pediatrician.

At Pediatrics East, our pediatricians are always happy to meet with you to discuss any concerns you have about your child’s health and wellness.

Dry Scalp Or Cradle Cap: What's The Difference?

Babies have soft, delicate skin. This means your baby’s skin is easily irritated and prone to dryness, including the skin on their head and scalp. If your little one has flaky skin on their head, you’re probably wondering if it’s a sign of dry scalp or cradle cap.

It’s not uncommon for a baby to develop one or both of these conditions. But how are they different? And, more importantly, how can you care for your little one when they have baby dry scalp or cradle cap?

In this post, the baby experts at Mustela will answer both of these questions and more.

What’s The Difference Between Baby Dry Scalp And Cradle Cap?

Dry scalp and cradle cap are similar conditions, so it can be tough to tell them apart. At their core, both stem from your little bundle of joy having dry skin on their head. So what’s the difference between the two?

In short, dry scalp is just that: dry, flaky skin on your little one’s head. It’s essentially a case of baby dandruff. The skin may appear red or yellowish and feel scaly or rough to the touch. Dead skin may flake off of your baby’s dry scalp.

Cradle cap, on the other hand, begins with a dry scalp but has progressed slightly further. Rather than just flaky, scaly skin, cradle cap is characterized by rough, crusty bumps that protrude from your baby’s scalp. Whereas baby dry scalp will feel dry, cradle cap will actually feel oily to the touch.

Let’s talk a bit more in-depth about both dry scalp and cradle cap and go over the causes and symptoms of each

All About Dry Scalp

Dry skin is perfectly normal for adults, toddlers, and infants alike. Sometimes, that dry skin can develop on your or your baby’s scalp.

Causes

What causes your baby’s scalp to become dry? There are several factors that may contribute to baby dry scalp, including:

Harsh weather (very hot or very cold temperatures, powerful winds, etc.)
Sunburn on your baby’s head
Long baths or baths that are too hot
Shampoos and soaps that are too strong for your baby’s skin
Accidentally failing to rinse all of the shampoo out of your child’s hair

Any combination of these factors may cause dry scalp.

Symptoms

You’ll be able to identify the condition by the following symptoms:

Dry skin on your baby’s head that may be flaky, scaly, or peeling
Reddish, pinkish, yellowish, or brownish discoloration on your little one’s scalp
Slight inflammation
Signs of discomfort, such as crying or squirming more than usual

If your little one is showing these symptoms, it is very likely that they have dry scalp.

All About Cradle Cap

Like eczema or baby acne, cradle cap is an extremely common skin condition. In fact, some research estimates that as many as 70 percent of infants develop cradle cap before three months of age.

Despite its prevalence, researchers aren’t exactly sure what causes cradle cap. There are several possibilities.

Causes

One theory is that cradle cap is the result of a problem with the sebaceous glands on your child’s head. Sebaceous glands are responsible for releasing sebum, a natural oil the human body secretes to keep skin protected and moisturized.

If excess sebum is released, it can harden and form into small clusters. Alternatively, if sebaceous glands become clogged, the sebum released may solidify and build up on top of your little one’s pores.

A second possible cause of cradle cap is a strain of yeast called Malassezia. This particular type of yeast is naturally found on living human skin, but it may sometimes cause skin conditions or infections. This is especially true if the Malassezia begin to colonize within your baby’s sebaceous glands.

While we don’t know what exactly causes cradle cap, we do know that it is not a hygiene issue. Some parents may believe cradle cap is related to poor hygiene or inadequate bathing, but this is simply not the case.

A few other important points about cradle cap: it is not contagious, and it is not painful for your baby. It may be unsightly, but it will not spread and your baby is probably not in any discomfort.

Symptoms

You can identify cradle cap by these common symptoms:

Small patches of crusty, oily skin that feel both greasy and rough
Spots appearing mostly on your baby’s head, neck, and/or face
The rough, oily patches being raised from your child’s skin (not flat)

If your baby is showing these symptoms, they probably have a case of cradle cap. But don’t worry. There are plenty of easy and effective ways to treat it.

How To Treat Your Baby’s Dry Scalp And Cradle Cap

Fortunately, the same treatments are effective in caring for both cradle cap and baby dry scalp. Here are seven easy and effective treatments for your little one’s dry scalp or cradle cap.

1) Bathe Your Baby Regularly

While hygiene is definitely not a cause of dry scalp or cradle cap, baths are still essential for keeping your little one’s skin healthy. Daily baths are helpful when caring for your child’s sensitive scalp area.

If you prefer, however, you can bathe your child every other day instead of every day. As long as you’re maintaining an adequate daily hygiene routine and changing your baby’s diapers the right way, three to four baths per week is sufficient.

2) Use Micellar Water In-Between Baths

To keep your baby’s skin extra clean on days they go without a bath, use a safe and baby-friendly micellar water, like Mustela’s Organic Micellar Water with Olive Oil and Aloe.

It’s perfect for traveling and super easy to use! Simply apply it to your baby’s skin — their face, body, and diaper area, too — using a soft cloth, diaper wipe, or cotton pad. Then pat them dry. There’s no need to rinse!

Our micellar water is made with 99.7% naturally derived ingredients, including organic aloe vera and organic olive oil to protect, soften, and soothe your baby’s kissable skin. And it cleanses your little one’s skin without stripping it of its natural oils.

3) Keep Baths Short

Long baths can remove sebum from your baby’s skin and scalp, leaving them vulnerable to dehydration and dryness. To care for your baby’s dry scalp or cradle cap, limit baths to 10 minutes or less.

Remember that your little one can still have loads of fun even if it’s a short bath. With Mustela’s Multi-Sensory Bubble Bath, you can keep them happy and entertained in a bath full of bubbles!

4) Make Sure Bath Water Is The Right Temperature

Bath water should be approximately the same as your baby’s body temperature: 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If it’s one or two degrees above or below, that’s completely fine.

This water temperature will be most comfortable for your baby. It’s also the ideal temperature for your little one’s sensitive skin. Use a bath thermometer to easily and accurately check that the water is not too hot and not too cold, but just right!

5) Protect Your Baby From The Elements

As we mentioned earlier, both in winter and summer, weather can contribute to your baby’s dry scalp. The cold, windy weather of wintertime can dry skin out, and the heat and sunburn of summertime can, too!

Protect your little one’s skin and scalp during the winter by wrapping them up properly and putting a cute hat on their head.

And in the summer, steer clear of sunburn by keeping your baby in the shade, dressing them in protective clothing (including an adorable sun hat!), and applying mineral sunscreen, like Mustela’s SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Lotion.

Made with coconut oil and other hydrating ingredients, our fragrance-free, broad-spectrum sunscreen offers safe and effective daily sun protection for babies, children, and the entire family.

And, unlike other mineral sunscreens, this one blends in easily and doesn’t leave a white cast on your skin! Use it on your baby’s face and body, knowing it’s gentle enough for even the smallest member of your family.

6) Use Gentle Products

Many soaps and shampoos are too harsh for your baby’s skin — even the ones that claim to be formulated for kids. These strong soaps and shampoos can further irritate your baby’s dry scalp.

Take wonderful care of your little bundle of joy by using gentle, baby-safe skin care products like Mustela’s. Mustela offers a variety of body washes, shampoos, cleansers, and other bath-time products that are formulated with natural ingredients, hypoallergenic, and free of parabens, phthalates, and phenoxyethanol.

Specifically, our Foam Shampoo For Newborns is formulated to rinse away flakes associated with cradle cap. How does it work? This tear-free shampoo contains BHA and salicylic acid to gently exfoliate and rinse away cradle cap flakes.

But rest assured: we’ve tested this product under pediatric and dermatological control, and it’s specially formulated to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. Plus, our 99% plant-based formula is also biodegradable to make you, your baby, and the earth happy all at the same time

7) Apply Cradle Cap Cream

If your baby has cradle cap, use products specifically designed to address this condition. Mustela’s Cradle Cap Cream works to prevent and eliminate cradle cap flakes, reduce the likelihood of future recurrence, and soothe your little one’s scalp in the process.

All you have to do is apply this leave-on cream to the affected area once a day. Massage it in lightly and, for best results, leave it on overnight and rinse it out the following day when you give your baby a bath.

Our fragrance-free Cradle Cap Cream is composed of 95% naturally derived ingredients, developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals, and is safe for use from birth on!

8) Apply Baby Oil Or Natural Oils

A few drops of Mustela's Baby Oil will keep your little one’s scalp moisturized and help to loosen any dead skin that has accumulated on their head.

Made with pomegranate seed oil, sunflower seed oil, and avocado oil, our protective baby oil blends effortlessly into your little one’s skin for a soothing and comforting massage.

Some parents prefer to use coconut oil or olive oil to care for their little one’s scalp. While these oils aren’t specially formulated to treat your baby’s skin, they are natural oils and ultimately safe to use on your child.

(Note: avoid essential oils, which have not been verified as safe for infants.)

9) Massage Your Baby’s Head

Giving your baby a very gentle head massage will soothe them and help to remove dead skin cells at the same time. Using your fingertips, simply rub along the surface of your baby’s dry scalp.

Remember to do this as gently as possible, since your baby’s skull is not yet fully developed.

Speaking of massaging your baby, if you’ve never given them a baby massage, try it out! The benefits are many, including reduced gas in colicky infants, a healthier immune system, and better sleep.

To learn how to give a baby massage, check out our article here.

10) Gently Brush Your Baby’s Dry Scalp

Similarly to a head massage, brushing your baby’s head will help to remove dead skin cells from your little one’s dry scalp. As the dead skin cells fall off, younger and healthier skin cells are able to rise to the surface of your baby’s skin.

Always use a baby brush with soft bristles. And, who knows, you may find that your baby loves having their scalp brushed!

11) Head To The Doctor’s Office

If your baby has a dry scalp or cradle cap that lasts more than a week, it’s best to talk to a pediatrician. You should also head to the doctor’s office if your baby seems to be in pain. As always, check with a pediatrician before giving your child any medications.

Say Goodbye To Your Baby’s Dry Scalp And Cradle Cap

You love your child more than anything in the world, so it can be concerning to notice they have dry scalp or cradle cap. Just remember that these conditions are not contagious, have nothing to do with hygiene, and are almost certainly not causing your child any discomfort.

Simply follow the 11 tips above and use Mustela’s line of gentle, natural, and safe products, like Foam Shampoo For Newborns and Cradle Cap Cream. Your baby’s scalp will be back to normal in no time!

benefits of scalp peeling

Natalia Shchepleva

Trichologist at SM-Clinic

In pursuit of beautiful hair, we care about their shine and thickness, but forget about the foundation on which the main thing depends - health. To maintain it, there is a special care for the scalp. Deep cleansing with peeling will help to strengthen hair naturally, give it shine and add volume.

SM-Clinic trichologist Natalya Shchepleva answers popular questions. We will figure out why deep cleansing is necessary, how peeling works, what problems it copes with, and how to choose the right remedy. nine0010

What is scalp peeling? How does it differ from similar facial or body care?

Peeling is an acid-based deep cleansing cosmetic product. It removes dead skin cells and stimulates the renewal of epidermal cells. The scalp, like the face and body, has sebaceous glands. The secreted sebum sticks together with the scales of the epidermis, the remnants of cosmetics and forms a crust, which often looks like dandruff. Acids soften this layer, and as a result we have clean skin without peeling and itching, into which the active substances of skin care products penetrate better. nine0006

Different peels do not differ from each other in terms of the principle of action. But face products should not be used for the scalp, as their composition is not adapted to the hair shaft. Using the wrong products can dry out your hair, strip it of shine, ruin your color, and increase dandruff.

Is deep cleansing really necessary? If you wash your hair every day, is regular shampoo not enough?

When a person decides to take care of his hair, he most often thinks about their visible structure: density, shine, split ends. But external beauty directly depends on the condition of the scalp. It is she who is the basis of strong, healthy hair. nine0006

Deep cleansing peeling:

increases the absorption of active ingredients;
reduces inflammation, flaking, itching;
fights hair loss, seborrhea;
improves local skin immunity;
inhibits oxidative stress;
is effective in the initial stages of alopecia.

Therefore, shampoo alone, even every day, may not be enough. On the contrary, excessive washing a person runs the risk of drying out the hair, worsening their condition. nine0006

When using peels, it is also important not to over-cleanse, depriving the skin of its protective functions. It is recommended to apply funds once a week, not more often.

Are peeling and scrub the same thing? What are deep cleansing products?

Peeling is a chemical agent. It contains acids that dissolve horny scales and promote exfoliation. Scrub mechanically cleanses the scalp with abrasive particles.

Trichologists, myself included, prefer peelings. Such products not only exfoliate dead skin cells, but also contribute to the healing of the skin if it has damage. They increase blood circulation, contribute to better nutrition of the hair follicles due to the fact that the active ingredients penetrate deeper. Externally, the hair at the root becomes more elevated, which adds volume to the styling.

Is it true that peels promote hair growth and treat dandruff?

The key function of peels is cleansing. But, definitely, acid-based products have a positive effect on the treatment of seborrhea, as they exfoliate the epidermis and thereby reduce dandruff and inflammation. They also promote more active hair growth. And due to deep cleansing, peeling helps oils and other components to better penetrate the epidermis and nourish the bulbs. nine0006

For which symptoms would you definitely recommend peeling to your patients? Or is a deep cleansing of the scalp necessary for everyone?

After examination, the trichologist will definitely prescribe peeling for patients with:

seborrheic dermatitis;
psoriasis;
constant itching, peeling;
oily scalp.

I can recommend acid care for everyone, even if you don't have the symptoms and illnesses listed. Especially now, during the heating season, when sebum regulation is reduced, and the hair dries even more. nine0006

Of course, before using peeling, it is better to consult a doctor. If you are thinking about the health of your hair, a consultation with a specialist will not be superfluous. Even if nothing bothers you now, this does not mean that you are using the right tools.

For those who have never used a scalp peel, I recommend starting with a milder product. For example, Vichy's deep cleansing peeling shampoo is designed specifically to combat stubborn dandruff. The product has a physiological pH of 5.5 and is suitable even for sensitive skin. nine0006

What are the contraindications for which it is better not to use acids?

Contraindications are more typical for scrubbing agents that more traumatize the epidermis. These are various skin diseases, injuries, small wounds. As for peeling, there are no strict restrictions. You can always choose the composition of the product, which will only have a positive effect on the scalp. The only thing is that it is undesirable to use such products for infectious and purulent diseases, allergies to components in the composition. nine0006

Can acid products be used after coloring? Will deep cleansing affect color saturation?

It is definitely better not to apply peeling immediately after coloring. Acids can wash out the pigment ahead of time, the hair will lose shine and brightness. I recommend waiting 2-3 weeks if there are no direct indications for use: for example, it is urgent to relieve inflammation or remove peeling.

What components must be contained in a good peeling? nine0013

Peeling is based on acids. Most often, we choose products with salicylic, glycolic, soft fruit. In addition to the components, it is important to look at the percentage of their content in the composition. In home care peels, this figure will be small so as not to injure the skin.

A good product should also contain active ingredients. It's zinc, niacinamide. Recently, peels with retinol and other forms of vitamin A are gaining popularity.

How to choose the right deep cleanser? nine0013

It all depends on the composition of the product, the condition of the hair and the type of scalp. For oily skin, peels with zinc and salicylic acid, which has sebum-regulating properties, are suitable. For sensitive people, it is better to choose products with mild AHA acids and panthenol.

The frequency of peeling application is also important. Therefore, first you should contact a specialist who can objectively assess the condition of the hair and skin. After treatment, if necessary, the doctor will select a permanent care and supportive therapy. nine0006

How to care for the scalp

Scalp care products should be selected according to the type of epidermis and age

Scalp care products vary according to hair type, skin and hair problems, and age. A child, a teenager with an emerging metabolism and endocrine system, an adult needs different compositions.

Before buying anything from cosmetics, it is recommended to consult a doctor who specializes in hair and scalp - a trichologist. If not, see a dermatologist. Perhaps the specialist will recommend taking a sample of the epidermis for analysis for a fungus or demodicosis. nine0006

Scalp and hair care products

Healthy scalp means beautiful shiny hair, no dandruff, no rashes. Skin immunity depends on the general condition of the body, as well as the method of care, the quality of shampoos, rinses and other products.

Among the variety of products for the skin, it is recommended to choose the average price category, as well as professional products. Cheap options contain a lot of chemicals, as well as banned substances, the use of which is bad for the condition of the hair. nine0006

Shampoos

To choose the right shampoo, you need to know the characteristics of your hair and scalp. Hair can be divided into 4 groups:

normal - shampoos with a standard set of washing components are needed;
dry - moisturizers with conditioner are used;
oily - suitable for deep cleaning and for daily use;
damaged - choose products that cleanse the skin and hair without causing additional damage. nine0026

The newborn's scalp is cared for with gentle eye-friendly, hypoallergenic shampoos with herbal extracts.

There are special dry shampoos that consist of an alkaline component and powder. They are used when it is not possible to wash your hair in the usual way, for example, on a train. It is often not recommended to use them, as the alkali dries the hair.

Peelings

Rules for the use of peelings and scrubs

The skin breathes better after peeling, and hair grows faster, as these products remove dead epidermal cells, varnish, foam, gel residues. The fungus is also partially eliminated with peeling. nine0006

Peeling can be done on all types of hair, except for damaged ones. In addition to standard components, products may contain vitamin supplements, antifungal drugs, essential oils. There are special additives for curly hair or excessively flaky, dyed or for rapid growth.

Scrubs

Hair scrubs are recommended for removing excess oil. If you wash your hair in the morning, and by the evening they look untidy again, then the scalp secretes too much sebum - sebum. nine0006

After cleaning the skin with a scrub, it will better absorb liquid vitamins, masks, serums. The scrub is especially recommended for those who often use styling products. They remain on the hair for a long time and are poorly washed off with ordinary shampoos.

Serums

Serum is a preparation with a high content of active substances, i.e. a concentrate with moisturizing and healing properties. Depending on the purpose, the product may contain various components - herbal extracts, biopolymer additives, vitamins, proteins, panthenol, oils, elastin and many others. nine0006

The action of the serum continues until the next wash. Hair lends itself well to styling, remaining elastic, but obedient.

The advantage of the serum is that it can be applied to damp hair after washing without rinsing. The composition protects the hair along the entire length if a woman uses a styling iron.

There are serums that are applied to the ends of the hair or the root. Depends on the composition and purpose of care products.

Hair loss ampoules

Revitalizing ampoules recommended to be used once a month

This is a medicinal composition for damaged scalp and weakened hair. The composition may contain fruit acids, amino acids, proteins, plant components in the form of oils and extracts.

The composition of the ampoules depends on the purpose of the product - for oily or dry hair. There are also for colored, damaged, split ends, thin hair. You can pick up ampoules to accelerate growth.

It is recommended to buy ampoules in a pharmacy or professional cosmetics stores. For use, the ampoule is opened, liquid is applied to wet, washed hair and distributed throughout the volume. Can be applied once a week. nine0006

Oily hair products

Frequent use of chemical hair products can dry out the hair. In order not to harm the skin, it is recommended to try oil paints for coloring. The advantage is a permanent color change, as well as nutrition of the hair follicles - you do not have to spend extra time and money on hair restoration after dyeing.

Paints do not contain ammonia, but the composition includes several vegetable oils, such as linseed, burdock, jojoba, grape seed. They contain useful fruit acids, which are similar in their action to whey. nine0006

Moisturizers

Moisturizing hair sprays

Not only shampoos, but also masks and conditioners can be moisturizing. The following components in the composition have a moisturizing effect:

vitamin B5;
D-panthenol;
glycerin;
trihydric alcohol;
hyaluronic acid;
urea;
soy-based lecithin;
inulin - chicory extract;
trihalose polysaccharide;
fibrillar proteins - collagen, keratin;
chitosan;
aloe vera extract;
snail mucus enzyme - mucin;
seaweed extract;
bamboo extract;
propylene glycol is a petroleum product, a cheaper humidifier option for budget cosmetics.

There are preparations for internal use to improve the condition of hair, nails, scalp and in general.

Warming agents

Pungent substances such as pepper and mustard promote blood flow to the skin. Such masks are used to accelerate hair growth or awaken dormant bulbs. It is better to buy pepper masks ready-made, since an incorrectly selected dosage of components at home can cause burns and damage to the skin.

Pepper compositions are recommended to be applied in courses - this increases the effectiveness of the masks. Caring for sensitive scalp with pepper can be unfavorable - it is recommended to try on a small area of the scalp. nine0006

Care instructions depending on hair type

The simplest care is for normal scalp and hair. They have a natural shine, do not need special products. If the water is well, soft, balms are not needed. Once a month, you can use a mask or ampoules to further nourish the bulbs.

Fine, dull, lifeless hair needs special care. Moisturizing shampoos, masks or conditioners are needed. Only one remedy, for example, a balm, can have a moisturizing effect, the rest can be used ordinary - for normal hair. Dry hair should be combed with wooden combs, metal combs should be avoided. nine0006

For oily hair, products that do not contain oils or conditioners are suitable. Otherwise, such compositions will cause a rapid loss of freshness. Daily cleansers are the best option.

For men

Most often, men with long hair have a mixed type of hair. They are the most difficult to care for - they are dry at the ends and oily near the roots.

For roots, you can select products for oily or normal hair, and apply special formulations to the ends so as not to dry them out. nine0006

Men's scalp care is no different, but you need to take into account the peculiarities of the endocrine system - men wash their hair more often because they sweat more.
