1. Why Gray Hair Makes Your Head Itchy
Many people get headaches when they have gray hair.And there can be several reasons for an itchy head.
First, let me explain why gray hair makes your head itchy.
The difference in thickness between gray hair and black hair
Healthy hair, we Japanese grow black hair.However, due to aging and changes in the scalp environment, gray hair will start to grow.
Comparing the thickness of gray hair and black hair, it is known that gray hair is thicker, although it is very small.There have been no publications about itching due to the difference in thickness, but if a little thick white hair grows in the pores where the black hair has passed, the pores will become tight.
It is believed that this tightness is stimulating and causes itching.
◆ Difference in cross section
Looking at the cross section of black hair and white hair, black hair tends to be round, while white hair tends to be oval.Just like the difference in thickness, the difference in shape may also be irritating the pores.
Itching is also thought to be caused by hair growing in different shapes.
A dry scalp
When the scalp is dry, even minor external stimuli can cause skin problems.Although not directly related to gray hair, dryness is also one of the causes of itchiness.
The scalp is the same as the skin, and it becomes dry skin due to age and irregular life.The age of gray hair increases, and the skin becomes easier to dry, so itching may increase.
◆ Deterioration of the scalp environment
If the scalp environment is deteriorating, inflammation may occur and cause itching, although it is not directly related to gray hair.Excessive secretion of sebum and an increase in bacteria affect it.
Excessive secretion of sebum and an increase in bacteria lead to itchy scalp and dandruff.
Also, some people have allergic reactions to gray hair dye, so it is important to immediately stop using it and take care of your scalp if you have an allergic reaction.
2. How to deal with itchy scalp
So what should you do if you have an itchy scalp?Do not scratch or rub strongly even by mistake.
Here are some remedies that won't hurt your scalp.
◆ If itching is severe, cool
If the itchiness is severe, you may want to scratch it no matter what, but please be patient.Scratching will damage your scalp.
If you get a cut, bacteria can enter the wound and cause inflammation.Also, even if scratching your head temporarily relieves it, it may irritate your sensitive skin and make it even more itchy.
If the itchiness of the scalp is severe, it is recommended to cool it with a cooling agent wrapped in a towel.By cooling the itchy part, you can suppress the work of the nerve that sends the command of itching.
However, please be careful not to put a cold object such as an ice pack directly on the scalp as it will be a burden on the scalp and have other adverse effects.
Use a scalp lotion, etc.
One way to reduce itchy scalp is to use a scalp lotion.Scalp lotions contain active ingredients such as blood circulation promotion, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing ingredients, so they are suitable for improving the scalp environment.
It can also be used to improve the scalp environment on a daily basis and to prevent itching.
◆ Wash with a shampoo that suits you
It is important to choose a shampoo that you use every day to keep your scalp healthy.If you don't use the right shampoo for your scalp, it can cause itching and inflammation.
Commercially available shampoos can often be divided into "alcohol-based" and "amino acid-based".Amino acid-based shampoos are recommended for conditioning the scalp.
Amino acid shampoos are less irritating than alcohol-based shampoos, so even people with sensitive skin are less prone to skin problems.However, amino acid-based shampoos have low detergency, so it is important to wash them carefully.
◆ Review lifestyle habits
It's not just the scalp environment, but it's very important to live a life habits.Not only does it keep your body healthy, but it also keeps your hair healthy.
When your lifestyle is disturbed, your hormone balance and autonomic nerves are disturbed.This is because hormonal balance and autonomic nerve disturbances can cause poor blood circulation and affect the deterioration of the scalp environment.
In particular, please be conscious of nutritionally balanced meals and quality sleep.Nutrients are necessary for hair growth, and the growth hormone secreted during sleep is essential for hair health.
3. Be careful if you have more itching after dyeing your gray hair
I think there are a lot of people who dye their gray hair when their gray hair becomes conspicuous.However, people who get itchy scalp every time they dye their hair should be careful.
Because you may have an allergic reaction to gray hair dye.If your scalp becomes itchy during or after use, please stop using it immediately.
It is also recommended to consult with a beauty salon or use a gray hair dye treatment that is gentle on the skin.
