Excess Hair Shedding (Telogen Effluvium) – As the hair is reflective of our bodies health, there are a huge range of factors that can lead to an excess of hair follicles, sometimes up to 50% compared to just 10% normally, to enter the telogen phase prematurely.
Scarring Alopecia – A type of alopecia that attacks the hair follicles and results in scarring, resulting in hair follicle loss and the appearance of smooth, shiny, scarred skin.
Loss of hair condition – Loss of hair condition can arise from the weathering of incorrect treatment of your hair, to internal causes such as medication, mineral and vitamin deficiencies and protein deficiency.
Itching and Scalp Irritation – While itching can also exist entirely on its own, it can also be a symptom of other disorders with a multitude of causes; from infection, infestation, systemic disorder or reaction to a hairdressing chemical or sensitising product.
Dandruff and Scalp Scaling – Otherwise known as Pityriasis Capitis, it exists within a family of conditions, all with the same persistent cause; a sensitivity a yeast found on everyone’s scalp.
Oily Scalp (seborrhoea oleosa) – Excess oil production is caused by an over-active sebaceous gland, which produces sebum to lubricate and give natural moisture to the skin.
