In today's modern lifestyle, the scalp and hair are constantly exposed to detrimental environmental factors such as pollution, humidity, and UV radiation (UVR). However, it is only recently that we have started to comprehend the effects of these factors on scalp health.

The damage caused by environmental stressors extends beyond the surface of the hair, affecting crucial hair properties such as protein content, melanin oxidation, surface quality, and structural components. Air pollution, including particulate matter and toxic gases, can accumulate on the scalp and hair, leading to irritation, inflammation, and potential damage. Exposure to the sun's harmful UVR can contribute to scalp sunburn, dryness, and even skin cancer risks. Additionally, high humidity levels can disrupt the natural moisture balance of the scalp, leading to issues such as excess oiliness or dryness.

Understanding the implications of these environmental factors on scalp and hair health is essential for developing effective protection and treatment strategies. By implementing proper scalp and hair care routines, using protective measures like hats or scarves, and utilizing specialized products designed to combat pollution, humidity, and UVR, it is possible to minimize the negative impact and maintain a healthy scalp and vibrant hair.You can read the complete blog here.
